Questions about HSTM

What people ask.

Why is HSTM on Broken Stocks?

HSTM qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -22.9% from its rolling 252-day high of $29.55, set on 2025-09-23 — 233d ago.

Is HSTM a falling knife?

No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. HSTM is down -22.9% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.

Is HSTM 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 HSTM trading inside its 52-week range?

At $22.79, HSTM sits 22.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($19.50) to its 52-week high ($34.13). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has HSTM been declining?

The current 22.9% decline accrued over 233d, which annualizes to roughly -35.9% 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 HSTM compare to its sector?

There are 182 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 93 Red, 43 Amber, 46 Watch, with 55 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.8% — HSTM's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does HSTM'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 (2026-02-23) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
