Questions about NU
What people ask.
Why is NU on Broken Stocks?
NU qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -31.9% from its rolling 252-day high of $18.98, set on 2026-01-29 — 105d ago.
Is NU a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. NU is down -31.9% from its 52-week high of $18.98, set 105d ago. That combination of depth (past the 30% Amber threshold) and recency (high set inside the last 120 days) is the textbook falling-knife pattern. Whether to try to catch it is a separate question — historically most attempts to bottom-pick continue lower before reversing. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.
Is NU 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 NU trading inside its 52-week range?
At $12.93, NU sits 19.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($11.46) to its 52-week high ($18.98). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has NU been declining?
The current 31.9% decline accrued over 105d, which annualizes to roughly -110.9% 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 NU compare to its sector?
There are 89 other Financial Services tickers on Broken Stocks: 41 Red, 29 Amber, 19 Watch, with 32 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -32.9% — NU's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does NU'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 (2026-05-14) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
