Position among covered Consumer Discretionary companies that report each metric (minimum 5 peers). A relative position within our covered catalog — not a valuation, quality, or investment judgment. A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Dividend coverage
Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which ADNT reported a dividend payment is FY2019, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2019 ratio would not describe ADNT today.
Coverage is derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures, comparing dividends paid against net income and free cash flow for the SAME fiscal year. It is not shown here because the latest fiscal year with a reported dividend payment (FY2019) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year. Informational only — not financial advice.
How ADIENT PLC looks technically
ADIENT PLC (ADNT) is trading 15.0% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 115 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 27, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 46, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 7 trading days ago. It is 35.5% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 15.0% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -15.0% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $18.82 | $18.82 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $20.73 | $20.73 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 7 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 7 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in the fourth leg, a pullback against that downward direction; the labelling fails if price closes above 18.17. It is one of several labellings that fit, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 4 (one of several readings) |

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 46, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 46.3 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($16.51 to $18.48) — its "stochastic" reading is 56 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 56.4 |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $86.42 (set on 2017-09-27) | $86.42 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($16.84 to $27.09), and it has recovered only a small part of its fall from last year’s high — 8% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $23.17 to $23.50. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 7.6% |
| From the all-time high | it is 79.6% below its all-time high | -79.6% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 0.9% below a resistance level at $17.77 — a price it turned at four times since 2025-02-14, most recently on 2026-09-10. Since 2024-10-08 it has 2 such levels below the current price and 11 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +0.9% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $5.90 (set on 2020-03-18) | $5.90 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 198.6% above its all-time low | +198.6% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 33rd percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.785 between its high and its low — about 4.5% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.785 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $16.52 and $18.97 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $16.52 – $17.75 – $18.97 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.5% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 4.5% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 4.0 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (15.0% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 4.0 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

|---|---|---|
| Since a hammer | 7 sessions ago, after a stretch of decline, it sold off hard during the session and then closed back near its high — a "hammer", the long lower wick showing the drop was bought back before the close | 7 sessions ago |
| Since a bullish engulfing | 5 sessions ago it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | 5 sessions ago |
| Since a bearish engulfing | 6 sessions ago it opened above the previous session's close and finished below that session's open — a "bearish engulfing" pair, where one down day more than undid the up day before it | 6 sessions ago |
Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 0.1% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -0.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 2.6% gap up opened on 2026-09-22 has been "filled" 10 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 2 sessions to close | 10 sessions ago |
Price streaks

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 11% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is thin, spanning 1.4% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | -10.9% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 15% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $20.81 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 190 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -15.3% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 5% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $18.58 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 46 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -5.2% |
Price levels it has turned at before
ADNT last closed at $17.62 on 2026-10-08. Since 2024-10-08 it has turned at 2 prices below its last close and 11 above; the 2 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $17.77 | Resistance | 0.9% above the last close | turned there four times · 2025-02-14 to 2026-09-10 |
| $18.18 | Resistance | 3.2% above the last close | turned there twice · 2025-01-15 to 2026-09-01 |
| $18.57 | Resistance | 5.4% above the last close | turned there four times · 2024-11-21 to 2026-08-10 |

| $13.54 | Support | 23.2% below the last close | turned there twice · 2025-03-04 to 2025-03-13 |
A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 4 of five, a pullback against that direction.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $18.17.
This is one of several labellings that fit the same swings, so treat it as a reading rather than the reading. It was chosen from 2 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $17.37 and $18.17 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction, which fails on a close below $16.51.
This reading has stood for 11 trading days, since 2026-09-24.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-08.
An Elliott-wave count describes the swings already printed and the level that would disprove it. It is not a forecast, a target, or advice.

What changed in the latest 10-Q
AI-assisted comparison of ADNT's 10-Q filed 2026-08-05 against the prior one filed 2026-05-06.
Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Removed:
- Older filing (filed 2026-05-06) states Adient has partially-owned affiliates in North America.
- Reworded:
- Newer filing (filed 2026-08-05) changes the quarter reference in the Risk Factors sentence from 'fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026' to 'fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026'.
- Newer filing (filed 2026-08-05) uses straight quotation marks ('Adjusted EBITDA', 'Segment Information') while the older filing (filed 2026-05-06) uses curly quotation marks in the same locations.
- Notes:
- The newer filing text ends mid-sentence at 'market share loss for foreign/luxury OEM' and the older filing text ends mid-sentence at 'market share loss for fo', so comparison is limited to the text provided and the full remainder of the section is not available.
Risk Factors
- Added:
- In the 2026-08-05 filing, the phrase 'and energy' was added to the sentence about increases in commodity costs: 'The conflicts have led to increases in the cost of commodities and energy and have the potential for shortages' (older 2026-05-06 filing read: 'The conflicts have led to increases in the cost of commodities and energy have the potential for shortages').
- In the 2026-08-05 filing, share repurchase activity for June 1 to June 30, 2026 was added: 1,333,761 shares purchased at $22.49 average price, with approximately $80 million remaining under the plan.
- In the 2026-08-05 filing under Item 5, 'third quarter of fiscal year 2026' replaced 'second quarter of fiscal year 2026' (quarterly period reference updated).
- Removed:
- In the 2026-05-06 filing, the month-by-month repurchase table included entries for January, February, and March 2026, all showing zero shares purchased and $110 million remaining; these entries do not appear in the 2026-08-05 filing, which instead covers April, May, and June 2026.
- Reworded:
- The share repurchase period heading changed from 'three months ended March 31, 2026' (2026-05-06) to 'three months ended June 30, 2026' (2026-08-05).
- The month labels in the share repurchase table changed from January 1-January 31, February 1-February 28, and March 1-March 31, 2026 (2026-05-06) to April 1-April 30, May 1-May 31, and June 1-June 30, 2026 (2026-08-05).
- In the 2026-08-05 filing, the June 2026 repurchase row shows 1,333,761 shares purchased at $22.49, with the approximate dollar value remaining reduced to $80 million; in the 2026-05-06 filing, all three months showed zero shares and $110 million remaining.
- Notes:
- The provided text includes Items 2 through 6 and signature pages from each filing, so the comparison covers the full excerpt rather than strictly the Risk Factors section alone.
- Only one difference was found in the Risk Factors narrative itself: the insertion of 'and' and 'energy' in the sentence about commodity and energy cost increases.
- The section uses an updated segment superseding the Annual Report on Form 10-K, but the risk factor text is otherwise substantially identical between the two quarterly filings.

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.
Short interest (FINRA)
ADNT had 6,752,775 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
ADNT had 8.76% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 8.69 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 6,752,775
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 8.76%
- Prior settlement (shares) 6,373,126
- Reported change 5.96%
- Days to cover (reported) 8.69
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
