In plain terms: PSON is 49.4% below its highest-ever price. Dipsern checks every past time it was this far down and grades how the next 90 days usually went.
Right now PSON — Pearson plc — is in a severe drawdown, down 49.4% from its record high. Last price: $1,140. Severe drawdowns separate structurally sound assets from the ones that don't recover. The historical data below shows what PSON did after similar episodes.
History at this drawdown level is well-populated for PSON — 752 confirmed observations in the 50%-to-45% band. The Dipsern engine uses these to compute a rolling median rather than a mean, because medians are robust to the kind of fat tails you find in uk stocks return distributions. The win rate (% of episodes that closed positive after 90 days) is shown in the segments table below.
Drawdown-based signals work across asset classes but the magnitude of meaningful moves varies. Dipsern computes the segmentation per-asset so the bands are calibrated to PSON's own volatility history. At this depth, focus on prediction error and sample size before median return. A high historical median return at -40% means nothing if the prediction error was also 30%.
