A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Top 10 scores & list membership
ALRM is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Top 10 score
54.2 #512 of 1,379 scored · #91 of 203 in Information Technology
Trend 65th (it is 5.0% below its highest point of the past year) and valuation 61st (price to earnings 26.7, price to book 3.1); weakest is capital return (22nd, consecutive years of dividend increases 0 years, net share count bought back over the year -1.6).
Scores as of 8 Oct 2026. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 4.
Dividend coverage
Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which ALRM reported a dividend payment is FY2015, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2015 ratio would not describe ALRM 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 (FY2015) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year.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 ALARM.COM HOLDINGS INC looks technically
ALARM.COM HOLDINGS INC (ALRM) is trading 11.8% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 48 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 17, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 53, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 6 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 14 trading days ago. It is 5.0% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year).
Trend
7
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 11.8% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +11.8% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $55.57 | $55.57 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $49.43 | $49.43 |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 16 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 16 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 48 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 48 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 17, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 16.5 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 53, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 52.8 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($52.12 to $56.70) — its "stochastic" reading is 69 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 slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 68.6 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 6 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 6 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $58.15 | $58.15 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 5.0% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -5.0% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 33.2% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +33.2% |

| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 30 trading days ago | 30 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $108.67 (set on 2021-01-13) | $108.67 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($42.13 to $57.60), and it has given back roughly a quarter of its rise from last year’s low — 15% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $47.54 to $48.04. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 15.1% |
| From the all-time high | it is 49.1% below its all-time high | -49.1% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 0.5% above a support level at $54.98 — a price it turned at four times since 2024-10-16, most recently on 2026-07-17. Since 2024-10-08 it has 9 such levels below the current price and 3 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.5% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $10.26 (set on 2015-08-24) | $10.26 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 438.6% above its all-time low | +438.6% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are narrower than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (tighter than about 86% of it) | 14th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.36 between its high and its low — about 2.5% 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 | $1.36 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $52.60 and $56.41 — 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 | $52.60 – $54.50 – $56.41 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.5% in a typical session — calmer than most 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 | 2.5% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 4.3 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (11.8% above 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 | 4.3 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Candlestick patterns

| Since a doji | 5 sessions ago it opened and closed at almost the same price after trading through a wider range — a "doji", the classic picture of buyers and sellers finishing the session level | 5 sessions ago |
|---|---|---|
| Since a bullish engulfing | 8 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 | 8 sessions ago |
Price gaps

| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 at essentially the same price it closed at the session before — no meaningful overnight gap | +0.1% |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 4 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, trading above its 200-day average, MACD momentum is positive, outperforming the market over 6 months — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 0 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 0 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading inside 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 zone traders read as unresolved — neither side has established a trend, and the band is where that gets settled. The band itself is thick, spanning 10.3% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | 0.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 13% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $48.94 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 191 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +12.9% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is sitting right on the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-06 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is roughly break-even. That average is $55.43 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 45 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -0.3% |

Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.
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.

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.
Institutional ownership (13F)
4 institutional 13F filers reported holding ALRM as of 2026-06-30 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 4
- Reported shares held 12,588,378
- Reported value $588,129,043
reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 3 increased, 1 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Short interest (FINRA)
ALRM had 2,955,286 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
ALRM had 6.02% 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 7.33 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 2,955,286
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 6.02%
- Prior settlement (shares) 2,793,058
- Reported change 5.81%
- Days to cover (reported) 7.33
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.
