Every fall, and how long it took to undo

The fall from a previous peak to the low that followed it, before a new peak was reached. A maximum drawdown is the worst of those falls in a stock’s whole record. It matters more than volatility for most investors because it is the number that gets people to sell — a 60% fall is not an abstraction while you are living through it.

Because they answer different questions. The all-time high price is the highest a stock ever traded at, on the same basis prices are quoted today. The drawdown figures instead track the value of a holding whose dividends were reinvested, so its peak is the high point of that holding rather than of the price. On any dividend payer the two differ, and using the second to answer "what is the all-time high" would understate it by the dividends paid since.

No. Every figure here refreshes when our data pipeline runs, and each page states the date it was measured on. This is a historical research record, not a quote feed, and it is not intended for trading decisions. If you need the price this second, use your broker.

Because its stored price history contains an unresolved corporate-action break — a point where our data source never re-based prices after a split or similar event. A high measured across that break would not be a price the stock ever traded at, so we withhold it rather than publish a number we cannot stand behind. The drawdown record, measured from the trustworthy part of the history, is still shown.

No, and the pages here are careful not to imply it. A stock 70% below its high may be a business in permanent decline or one in a temporary cycle, and the price history alone cannot tell you which. These pages describe what happened; they are not valuations and not recommendations. ReturnScreener is an educational research platform and is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser.

Up to twenty years for companies listed that long, and each page states the exact window it measured. Where a stock’s early history contains a data break, the record is measured only from the point it becomes trustworthy — the same rule the rest of the site uses, so a drawdown page never contradicts the figures on the company’s own overview.
