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 (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, AMH's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 87%, operating-cash-flow payout 52%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout87% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout52% dividends / operating cash flow — capital spending was not reported, so this does not subtract it
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. Informational only — not financial advice.
How American Homes 4 Rent looks technically
American Homes 4 Rent (AMH) is trading 3.6% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 79 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 42, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 39, 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 2 trading days ago.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 3.6% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -3.6% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $32.56 | $32.56 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $31.63 | $31.63 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been higher than the one before it and each dip has been shallower — the pattern chart-watchers call an uptrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | higher highs and higher lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 63 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 63 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part upward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes above 35.07. It is the only labelling that fits, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave upward correction, complete |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 79 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 79 sessions |

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 39, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 38.6 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($29.96 to $31.47) — its "stochastic" reading is 35 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. | 35.1 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 3 sessions |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $44.07 (set on 2021-12-31) | $44.07 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($27.38 to $34.81), and it has given back a bit over half of its rise from last year’s low — 58% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $29.98 to $30.22. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 58.1% |
| From the all-time high | it is 30.8% below its all-time high | -30.8% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 0.8% above a support level at $30.23 — a price it turned at three times since 2025-12-09, most recently on 2026-05-15. Since 2024-10-08 it has 2 such levels below the current price and 8 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.8% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $13.16 (set on 2016-02-11) | $13.16 |

Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 37th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.5118 between its high and its low — about 1.7% 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 | $0.5118 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $29.84 and $31.82 — 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 | $29.84 – $30.83 – $31.82 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 1.7% in a typical session — among the calmest in the catalog. 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 | 1.7% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 2.2 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (3.6% 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 | 2.2 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 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, MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, 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 8.3% 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 moderate, spanning 2.4% of the share price. | -8.3% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 3% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $31.35 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 192 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -2.7% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 5% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-30 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $32.19 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 50 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -5.3% |
Price levels it has turned at before
AMH last closed at $30.49 on 2026-10-08. Since 2024-10-08 it has turned at 2 prices below its last close and 8 above; the 2 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.

Its recent swings can be read as a three-part upward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $35.07.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
This reading has stood for 32 trading days, since 2026-08-25.

- Notes:
- The provided source texts are truncated excerpts of the financial statements rather than the full MD&A narrative; only text actually present in the excerpts was compared.
- Financial figures such as balance sheet amounts and income statement line items differ between periods, but these are period-end/period-specific figures inherent to different reporting periods rather than revisions to the same period.
Risk Factors
- Reworded:
- The newer filing (filed 2026-07-31) contains a different section entirely: it provides operational narrative under headings such as Property Development, Acquisitions and Dispositions; Property Operations; and Revenues, whereas the older filing (filed 2026-05-07) contains a risk factor update regarding new and proposed laws and regulations restricting institutional ownership of single-family homes.
- Notes:
- The provided texts appear to be excerpts from different sections of each filing; the newer text is from Management's Discussion and Analysis rather than the Risk Factors section, so a direct comparison of risk factor changes may not be possible from these excerpts.

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.
U.S. House trading disclosures

AMH had 11,598,362 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for AMH because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 11,598,362

- Reported change 7.24%
- Days to cover (reported) 4.86
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.
