A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.

- Entered 1 Oct 2026: score 58.7, rank 7 (not compared with 1 Sep 2026 — those rows were scored under method version 3, this pass under 4, and the formula changed between them, so a score is only comparable within one version).

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 14.5% 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 120 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 54, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day high about 5 trading days ago.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 14.5% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +14.5% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $16.05 | $16.05 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $14.17 | $14.17 |
| 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 29 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 29 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part downward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes below 15.15. It is the only labelling that fits, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave downward correction, complete |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 120 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 120 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) | 16.9 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 54, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 53.9 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($15.49 to $16.70) — its "stochastic" reading is 60 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. | 60.3 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in positive territory (momentum leaning bullish) | 14 sessions |

| 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 — 14% 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. | 14.4% |
| From the all-time high | it is 22.7% below its all-time high | -22.6% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.1% below a resistance level at $16.39 — a price it turned at three times since 2024-11-11, most recently on 2024-12-11. Since 2024-10-08 it has 10 such levels below the current price and 2 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +1.1% |

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 71% of it) | 29th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.316 between its high and its low — about 2.0% 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 | $0.316 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $15.24 and $16.69 — 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 | $15.24 – $15.97 – $16.69 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.0% 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 | 1.9% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 6.5 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (14.5% 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 | 6.5 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 0.4% 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 | -0.4% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 2.9% gap up opened on 2026-08-06 has been "filled" 44 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 44 sessions ago |

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 | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bearish state: trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 0.3% 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 thin, spanning 0.8% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | -0.3% |
|---|
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 $14.30 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 190 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +13.4% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 2% 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 $15.98 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 46 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +1.5% |
