Note
The verb behind this form works two ways: a pilot or a policy can stabilize something, or a thing can simply settle on its own. Only the first yields a passive: the aircraft was stabilized by its new controls. The self-settling use builds its perfect with have: prices have stabilized. Prices were stabilized, by contrast, implies someone stepped in to steady them.
