Questions about SBH
What people ask.
Why is SBH on Broken Stocks?
SBH qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -34.0% from its rolling 252-day high of $17.92, set on 2026-01-21 — 113d ago.
Is SBH a falling knife?
By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. SBH is down -34.0% from its 52-week high of $17.92, set 113d 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 SBH 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 SBH trading inside its 52-week range?
At $11.83, SBH sits 40.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($7.68) to its 52-week high ($17.92). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has SBH been declining?
The current 34.0% decline accrued over 113d, which annualizes to roughly -109.8% 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 SBH compare to its sector?
There are 128 other Consumer Cyclical tickers on Broken Stocks: 59 Red, 43 Amber, 26 Watch, with 19 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -35.3% — SBH's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does SBH'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 (2026-05-11) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
