Questions about STZ
What people ask.
Why is STZ on Broken Stocks?
STZ qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -26.6% from its rolling 252-day high of $191.71, set on 2025-05-16 — 363d ago.
Is STZ a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. STZ is down -26.6% 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 STZ 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 STZ trading inside its 52-week range?
At $140.61, STZ sits 20.1% of the way from its 52-week low ($126.45) to its 52-week high ($196.91). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has STZ been declining?
The current 26.6% decline accrued over 363d, which annualizes to roughly -26.7% 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 STZ compare to its sector?
There are 47 other Consumer Defensive tickers on Broken Stocks: 27 Red, 13 Amber, 7 Watch, with 11 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.4% — STZ's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does STZ'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 (2026-04-08) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
