Dividend coverage (FY2025)

Covered by reported results. In FY2025, ALTG's dividend was covered by reported results (free-cash-flow payout 13%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.

  • Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings were not positive that year
  • Free-cash-flow payout13% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)

Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items.

How ALTA EQUIPMENT GROUP INC CLASS A looks technically

ALTA EQUIPMENT GROUP INC CLASS A (ALTG) is trading 4.3% 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 56 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 15, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 44, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 4 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day high about 8 trading days ago. It is 26.8% below its highest point of the past year.

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($6.20 to $8.01) — its "stochastic" reading is 17 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.16.6

Typical daily rangein a typical session it travels about $0.4794 between its high and its low — about 7.4% 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$0.4794
Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ)most of its recent trading has stayed between about $5.86 and $7.98 — 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$5.86 – $6.92 – $7.98
Typical daily range (% of price)its price moves about 7.4% in a typical session — more volatile 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 price7.4%

Vs the Ichimoku cloudtrading 2.7% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-16 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 moderate, spanning 2.5% of the share price.-2.7%

Volume-weighted price

Vs this year’s average price paidthe price is 1% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $6.59 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP.-1.4%
Vs the average paid since it last reportedthe price is 9% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-06 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water.

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

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.

  • Consensus EPS estimate-$0.1575 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-24

Change over time is not available yet: it needs two readings of the same reporting period at least 30 days apart, and we have been recording these estimates since 2026-08-04. An estimate for a DIFFERENT quarter is not a revision, so a reading from before the last report is never compared with one after it.

The consensus estimate for the next reporting period, and how it has moved between readings of that SAME period. A change is measured only between readings estimating one period — when a company reports, the consensus moves to the next quarter and the two numbers are not comparable.

ALTG had 1.62% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 3.97 days to cover at the same settlement.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 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.
