Questions about KWR
What people ask.
Why is KWR on Broken Stocks?
KWR qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -21.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $182.29, set on 2026-02-18 — 85d ago.
Is KWR a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. KWR is down -21.8% 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 KWR 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 KWR trading inside its 52-week range?
At $142.60, KWR sits 53.6% of the way from its 52-week low ($95.91) to its 52-week high ($183.01). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has KWR been declining?
The current 21.8% decline accrued over 85d, which annualizes to roughly -93.6% 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 KWR compare to its sector?
There are 47 other Basic Materials tickers on Broken Stocks: 18 Red, 7 Amber, 22 Watch, with 12 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -28.8% — KWR's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does KWR'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.
