Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, AVY's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 42%, free-cash-flow payout 40%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout42% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout40% 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. Informational only — not financial advice.
How Avery Dennison looks technically
Avery Dennison (AVY) is trading 3.0% 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 7 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 13, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 42, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day low about 2 trading days ago. It is 16.0% below its highest point of the past year. Day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 3% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 3.0% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -3.0% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $174.08 | $174.08 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $172.84 | $172.84 |
| 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 low 30 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 30 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part upward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five; the labelling fails if price closes below 166.85. 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 upward 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 7 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 7 sessions |

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 42, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 41.6 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($164.10 to $174.00) — its "stochastic" reading is 36 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. | 35.6 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 3 sessions |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($153.01 to $197.45), and it has recovered roughly a third of its fall from last year’s high — 33% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $180.47 to $181.90. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 32.9% |
| From the all-time high | it is 28.2% below its all-time high | -28.2% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 0.6% below a resistance level at $168.64 — a price it turned at six times since 2025-04-30, most recently on 2026-07-07. Since 2024-10-08 it has 3 such levels below the current price and 7 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +0.6% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $17.02 (set on 2009-03-09) | $17.02 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 884.8% above its all-time low | +884.8% |
Volatility

| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 3% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move | 3rd percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $3.88 between its high and its low — about 2.3% 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 | $3.88 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $166.99 and $173.43 — 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 | $166.99 – $170.21 – $173.43 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.3% 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 | 2.3% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 1.4 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (3.0% 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 | 1.4 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day — 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: trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, 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 1.7% 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 4.2% of the share price. | -1.7% |
|---|
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 $172.30 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 190 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -2.7% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 3% 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 $173.67 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 50 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -3.5% |

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 upward 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 below $166.85.
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 $198.44 and $217.96 — 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 below $166.85.
This reading has stood for 18 trading days, since 2026-09-15.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-08.
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.

- Reworded:
- Operational working capital definition changed from 'trade accounts receivable and inventories, net of accounts payable, and excludes cash... divided by annualized current quarter net sales' (2026-05-05) to 'trade accounts receivable and inventories, net of accounts payable, divided by annualized current quarter net sales, and excludes cash...'

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 →Institutional ownership (13F)
6 institutional 13F filers reported holding AVY as of 2026-06-30 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 6
- Reported shares held 11,618,262
- Reported value $1,886,224,632
reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 5 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. Informational only — not financial advice.

Short interest (FINRA)
AVY had 2,122,019 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
AVY had 2.80% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 2.58 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 2,122,019
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 2.80%
- Prior settlement (shares) 2,659,483
- Reported change -20.21%
- Days to cover (reported) 2.58
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.
