Questions about MTD

What people ask.

Why is MTD on Broken Stocks?

MTD qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -31.7% from its rolling 252-day high of $1,525.17, set on 2025-11-25 — 170d ago.

Is MTD a falling knife?

Not by the strict technical definition. MTD is down -31.7% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 170d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. MTD is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.

Is MTD 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 MTD trading inside its 52-week range?

At $1,041.91, MTD sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($1,096.43) to its 52-week high ($1,525.17). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has MTD been declining?

The current 31.7% decline accrued over 170d, which annualizes to roughly -68.1% 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 MTD compare to its sector?

There are 182 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 93 Red, 42 Amber, 47 Watch, with 55 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.8% — MTD's decline is shallower than the sector median.

Does MTD'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 (2026-05-07) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
