Questions about GIS
What people ask.
Why is GIS on Broken Stocks?
GIS qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -36.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $52.38, set on 2025-05-20 — 359d ago.
Is GIS a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. GIS is down -36.8% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 359d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. GIS is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is GIS a buy?
Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.
Where is GIS trading inside its 52-week range?
At $33.13, GIS sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($34.04) to its 52-week high ($55.93). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has GIS been declining?
The current 36.8% decline accrued over 359d, which annualizes to roughly -37.4% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
How does GIS compare to its sector?
There are 47 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 27 Red, 13 Amber, 7 Watch, with 11 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.1% — GIS's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does GIS's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-03-18) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
