Questions about LGIH

What people ask.

Why is LGIH on Broken Stocks?

LGIH qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -37.1% from its rolling 252-day high of $69.50, set on 2025-09-05 — 251d ago.

Is LGIH a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. LGIH is down -37.1% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 251d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. LGIH is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is LGIH 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 LGIH trading inside its 52-week range?

At $43.72, LGIH sits 28.3% of the way from its 52-week low ($33.55) to its 52-week high ($69.50). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has LGIH been declining?

The current 37.1% decline accrued over 251d, which annualizes to roughly -54.0% 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 LGIH compare to its sector?

There are 128 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 60 Red, 42 Amber, 26 Watch, with 19 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.1% — LGIH's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does LGIH'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 (2026-04-28) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
