Position among covered Consumer Discretionary companies that report each metric (minimum 5 peers). A relative position within our covered catalog — not a valuation, quality, or investment judgment. A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.

Dividend coverage
Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which APTV reported a dividend payment is FY2020, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2020 ratio would not describe APTV 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 (FY2020) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year.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 Aptiv looks technically
Aptiv (APTV) is trading 29.3% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 103 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 34, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 38, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 12 trading days ago. It is 4.6% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year).
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 29.3% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -29.3% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $57.09 | $57.09 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $68.27 | $68.27 |
| 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 15 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 15 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 46.16. It is one of several labellings that fit, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. The same swings also read as a five-part sequence in leg 4. | possible three-wave downward correction, complete (one of several readings) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 103 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 103 sessions |

Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 38, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 37.9 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($46.16 to $51.00) — its "stochastic" reading is 44 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. | 43.8 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 1 session |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $180.81 (set on 2021-11-04) | $180.81 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($46.30 to $88.67), and it has recovered only a small part of its fall from last year’s high — 5% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $72.48 to $73.84. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 4.7% |
| From the all-time high | it is 73.3% below its all-time high | -73.3% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 6.8% below a resistance level at $51.58 — a price it turned at twice since 2024-11-19, most recently on 2026-05-19. Since 2024-08-21 it has 0 such levels below the current price and 17 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +6.8% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $16.11 (set on 2011-11-23) | $16.11 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 199.7% above its all-time low | +199.7% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually wide versus its own recent history (wider than about 84% of the past ~6 months) | 84th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $2.12 between its high and its low — about 4.4% 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 | $2.12 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $42.64 and $60.03 — 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 | $42.64 – $51.33 – $60.03 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.4% in a typical session — about typical for the 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 | 4.4% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 9.5 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (29.3% 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 | 9.5 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 1.1% 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 | +1.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.7% above the previous close 10 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 46.3 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +2.7% |
| Gap filled | a 2.3% gap up opened on 2026-07-27 has been "filled" 15 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 4 sessions to close | 15 sessions ago |
Price streaks

Signal agreement

| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, 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 22% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-15 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 7.4% of the share price. | -21.5% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 24% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $63.86 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 159 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -24.4% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is sitting right on the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-04 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is roughly break-even. That average is $48.25 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 14 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +0.1% |
Price levels it has turned at before
APTV last closed at $48.28 on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has turned at 0 prices below its last close and 17 above; the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $51.58 | Resistance | 6.8% above the last close | turned there twice · 2024-11-19 to 2026-05-19 |
| $52.59 | Resistance | 8.9% above the last close | turned there twice · 2024-11-06 to 2026-05-05 |
| $56.26 | Resistance | 16.5% above the last close | turned there four times · 2024-12-19 to 2026-07-08 |
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
Its recent swings can be read as a three-part downward 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 below $46.16.
This is one of several labellings that fit the same swings, so treat it as a reading rather than the reading. It was chosen from 2 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a five-part sequence in leg 4, which fails on a close above $56.51.
This labelling was already in place when we began recording count changes on 2026-08-13, so how long it has stood is not something we can say yet.
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.
