A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Top 10 scores & list membership
APLE is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Long-term score
54.3 #347 of 987 scored · #31 of 84 in Real Estate
Valuation 86th (price to book 0.9, price to earnings 21.4) and long-term trend 75th (it is 3.5% below its highest point of the past year); weakest is capital return (21st, consecutive years of dividend increases 2 years).
Short-term score
59.6 #238 of 1,704 scored · #4 of 94 in Real Estate
Catalysts 84th: the analyst consensus rating has improved toward "buy" since the prior reading; volume and participation 69th: trading volume is about normal versus its 30-day average; weakest is setup 26th: no fresh 20-day breakout up or down.
Scores as of 21 Aug 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 2.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Exceeded at least one reported measure. In FY2025, APLE's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (earnings payout 137%, free-cash-flow payout 85%). A payout above 100% in one year is not necessarily unsustainable, but it is not fully covered by that measure.
- Earnings payout137% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout85% 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 APPLE HOSPITALITY REIT INC looks technically
APPLE HOSPITALITY REIT INC (APLE) is trading 23.8% 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 87 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 18, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 58, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 2 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 9 trading days ago. It is 3.5% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year).
Trend
7
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 23.8% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +23.8% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $16.48 | $16.48 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $13.46 | $13.46 |
| 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 11 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 11 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 87 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 87 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 18, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend | 18.0 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 58, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 58.4 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($15.54 to $17.28) — its "stochastic" reading is 65 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. | 65.0 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 2 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 2 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $17.28 | $17.28 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 3.5% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -3.5% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 53.6% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +53.6% |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $20.97 (set on 2015-12-18) | $20.97 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($11.17 to $17.07), and it has given back only a small part of its rise from last year’s low — 7% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $13.23 to $13.42. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 6.8% |
| From the all-time high | it is 20.5% below its all-time high | -20.5% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.7% above a support level at $16.39 — a price it turned at three times since 2024-11-11, most recently on 2024-12-11. Since 2024-08-21 it has 12 such levels below the current price and 1 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -1.7% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $4.48 (set on 2020-03-19) | $4.48 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 272.1% above its all-time low | +272.1% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 49th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.3485 between its high and its low — about 2.1% 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 | $0.3485 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $15.50 and $17.09 — 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 | $15.50 – $16.30 – $17.09 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.1% 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 | 2.1% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 9.2 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (23.8% 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 | 9.2 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 0.7% above 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 | +0.7% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.9% above the previous close 58 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 14.47 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +2.9% |
| Gap filled | a 2.9% gap up opened on 2026-08-06 has been "filled" 11 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 11 sessions ago |
Price streaks
1
| Closing streak | it has closed higher 4 sessions in a row, a +4.78% move over the run — an unbroken run of up days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 4 sessions up |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 5 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, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 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 1.8% above 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 uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is moderate, spanning 7.7% of the share price. | +1.8% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 19% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $13.98 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +19.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 4% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $16.10 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 13 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +3.5% |
Price levels it has turned at before
APLE last closed at $16.67 on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has turned at 12 prices below its last close and 1 above; the 3 nearest below and the nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $16.39 | Support | 1.7% below the last close | turned there three times · 2024-11-11 to 2024-12-11 |
| $17.20 | Resistance | 3.2% above the last close | turned there twice · 2026-07-22 to 2026-08-06 |
| $15.92 | Support | 4.5% below the last close | turned there four times · 2024-12-27 to 2026-07-08 |
| $15.49 | Support | 7.1% below the last close | turned there twice · 2024-09-20 to 2026-08-10 |
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.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-08-21.
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.

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.
