AUR is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Long-term score
30.9 #1546 of 1,605 scored · #247 of 258 in Information Technology
Financial health 95th (debt to equity 0) and valuation 50th (price to book 3.5); weakest is growth (1st, 3-year revenue CAGR -64.7%).
Short-term score
43.3 #1062 of 1,698 scored · #139 of 261 in Information Technology
Setup 63rd: over the past year its closes ranged, and it has retraced a bit over half of its move over the past year — 59% of it; catalysts 54th: open-market insider buys in 90 days 14, the analyst consensus rating is unchanged since the prior reading; weakest is trend 20th: the price is 12% below the average price paid over the period covered, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. Its short interest was not measured, so no short-interest deduction applies.

How Aurora Innovation looks technically
Aurora Innovation (AUR) is trading 8.2% 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 68 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 19, 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 37, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-04-29, breaking below its recent trading range. It is 33.6% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 8.2% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +8.2% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $6.41 | $6.41 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $5.26 | $5.26 |
| 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 high 19 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 19 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five; the labelling fails if price closes above 7.25. 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 three-part correction in leg C. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 3 (one of several readings) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 68 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 68 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 19, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend | 19.3 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 37, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 36.7 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading right at the bottom of its 14-day range ($5.62 to $7.25) — its "stochastic" reading is 4 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. | 4.3 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 5 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $8.56 | $8.56 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 33.6% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -33.6% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 58.1% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +58.1% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 33.6% below its highest point of the past year | 33.6% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-04-29, breaking below its recent trading range | 1 session |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it just made a new 55-day low, its first since 2026-04-29, breaking below its recent trading range | 1 session |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $17.77 (set on 2021-11-19) | $17.77 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($3.77 to $8.40), and it has given back a bit over half of its rise from last year’s low — 59% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $5.39 to $5.54. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 58.5% |
| From the all-time high | it is 68.0% below its all-time high | -68.0% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.6% below a resistance level at $5.78 — a price it turned at twice since 2024-12-03, most recently on 2025-10-15. Since 2024-08-26 it has 6 such levels below the current price and 10 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +1.6% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $1.10 (set on 2022-12-27) | $1.10 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 417.3% above its all-time low | +417.3% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 58th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.4262 between its high and its low — about 7.5% 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 | $0.4262 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $5.72 and $7.42 — 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 | $5.72 – $6.57 – $7.42 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 7.5% 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 price | 7.5% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 1.0 daily range above its 200-day average price (8.2% 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 | 1.0 daily range above its 200-day average |

Candlestick patterns

| Since a doji | 2 sessions ago it opened and closed at almost the same price after trading through a wider range — a "doji", the classic picture of buyers and sellers finishing the session level | 2 sessions ago |
|---|---|---|
| Since a hammer | 2 sessions ago, after a stretch of decline, it sold off hard during the session and then closed back near its high — a "hammer", the long lower wick showing the drop was bought back before the close | 2 sessions ago |
| Since a bullish engulfing | 6 sessions ago it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | 6 sessions ago |
Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-24 0.8% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and had not traded back through that level by the close | -0.8% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 7.0% below the previous close 4 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 6.97 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -7.0% |
| Gap filled | a 2.2% gap up opened on 2026-08-07 has been "filled" 8 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 3 sessions to close | 8 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it closed lower in its latest session, after a session that did not close lower — a single down day rather than a run | 1 session down |

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, outperforming the market over 6 months, near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 3 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 12% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-17 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 3.6% of the share price. | -12.1% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 2% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $5.82 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 158 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -2.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 12% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-29 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $6.49 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 19 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -12.3% |
Price levels it has turned at before
AUR last closed at $5.69 on 2026-08-24. Since 2024-08-26 it has turned at 6 prices below its last close and 10 above; the 3 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5.78 | Resistance | 1.6% above the last close | turned there twice · 2024-12-03 to 2025-10-15 |
| $5.58 | Support | 1.9% below the last close | turned there five times · 2025-04-21 to 2026-07-30 |
| $5.89 | Resistance | 3.5% above the last close | turned there twice · 2025-03-13 to 2026-06-25 |
| $5.40 | Support | 5.0% below the last close | turned there four times · 2025-08-01 to 2025-11-03 |
| $6.26 | Resistance | 10.0% above the last close | turned there three times · 2025-01-14 to 2025-06-11 |
| $5.08 | Support | 10.6% below the last close | turned there twice · 2025-06-23 to 2026-01-22 |
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 five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $7.25.
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.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $4.00 and $5.24 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a three-part correction in leg C, which fails on a close above $7.25.
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 2026-08-24.
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.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
The two filings could not be meaningfully compared for this section.
Risk Factors
- Added:
- Added bullet point in forward-looking statements: 'our ability to secure supply and/or upfit vehicles for deployment' (filed 2026-05-06)
- Added language in forward-looking statements: 'wars and armed conflicts' as separate item from 'natural disasters' (filed 2026-05-06)
- Removed:
- Removed specific geopolitical examples: 'including Russia's actions in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East' (filed 2025-10-28)
- Removed reference to Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (filed 2025-10-28); replaced with reference to December 31, 2025 (filed 2026-05-06)
- Removed 'upfit vehicles for deployment' from a separate clause in business partners' ability statement (filed 2025-10-28)
- Reworded:

- Changed generic 'war' reference to 'wars and armed conflicts' in risk factor listing (filed 2026-05-06)
- Broadened derivative liabilities line item description from 'Derivative liabilities' (filed 2025-10-28) to 'Derivative liabilities, long-term' (filed 2026-05-06)
- Notes:
- The two filings cover different quarterly periods (Q1 2026 vs Q3 2025) and reference different annual report years (2025 vs 2024), making some differences attributable to standard period updates rather than substantive policy changes
- Financial statements are from different reporting periods and therefore not directly comparable as risk factor changes

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.
Institutional ownership (13F)
5 institutional 13F filers reported holding AUR as of 2026-03-31 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 5
- Reported shares held 97,289,624
- Reported value $400,833,249
reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 0 new, 4 increased, 1 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Short interest (FINRA)
AUR had 195,515,971 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for AUR because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 195,515,971
- Prior settlement (shares) 175,497,155
- Reported change 11.41%
- Days to cover (reported) 7.73
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.
