Questions about JBS
What people ask.
Why is JBS on Broken Stocks?
JBS qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -21.2% from its rolling 252-day high of $18.65, set on 2026-04-10 — 33d ago.
Is JBS a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. JBS is down -21.2% 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 JBS 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 JBS trading inside its 52-week range?
At $14.69, JBS sits 36.9% of the way from its 52-week low ($12.37) to its 52-week high ($18.65). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has JBS been declining?
The current 21.2% decline accrued over 33d, which annualizes to roughly -234.5% 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 JBS compare to its sector?
There are 48 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 32 Red, 12 Amber, 4 Watch, with 10 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.8% — JBS's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does JBS'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 (2026-08-12) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
