Position among covered Real Estate 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 (FY2025)
Exceeded at least one reported measure. In FY2025, BRT's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (operating-cash-flow payout 134%). A payout above 100% in one year is not necessarily unsustainable, but it is not fully covered by that measure.
- Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings were not positive that year
- Operating-cash-flow payout134% dividends / operating cash flow — capital spending was not reported, so this does not subtract it
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 BRT APARTMENTS CORP looks technically
BRT APARTMENTS CORP (BRT) is trading 0.1% 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 31 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 12, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 49, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 9 trading days ago.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 0.1% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -0.1% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $14.82 | $14.82 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $14.57 | $14.57 |
| 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 10 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 10 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 14.01. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave downward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 31 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 31 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 12, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 11.7 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 49, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 48.9 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading around the middle of its 14-day range ($14.01 to $15.03) — its "stochastic" reading is 54 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. | 53.9 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 3 sessions |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($13.21 to $16.55), and it has recovered roughly a third of its fall from last year’s high — 40% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $15.27 to $15.38. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 40.4% |

Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.5% |

Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are wider than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (wider than about 75% of it) | 75th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.3426 between its high and its low — about 2.4% 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 | $0.3426 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $13.89 and $15.24 — 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 | $13.89 – $14.56 – $15.24 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.4% 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 | 2.4% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is sitting essentially on its 200-day average price (0.1% below it in plain percentage terms) | at its 200-day average |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 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, MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 3 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: 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 | 3 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 1.8% below 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 downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is thin, spanning 0.5% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | -1.8% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 1% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $14.44 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +0.9% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 1% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-10 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $14.37 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 10 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +1.4% |

BRT last closed at $14.56 on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has turned at 2 prices below its last close and 9 above; the 2 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.

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 $14.01.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
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.

- Consensus EPS estimate-$0.195 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-18
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.

Key risks (from latest filing)
["Geographic concentration risk: ~75% of wholly-owned revenues and 59% of joint venture revenues concentrated in Southeast and Texas markets, exposing the company to regional economic downturns, pandemics, and natural disasters","Rising operating expense pressure: Real estate taxes, utilities, and insurance premiums are significant and subject to uncontrollable increases through inflation and reassessment, which cannot always be offset by rental rate increases","Competitive market pressures and economic sensitivity: Occupancy levels, rental rates, and property values are highly sensitive to economic conditions, inflation, unemployment, and supply-demand imbalances in multifamily markets; larger competitors with greater resources have significant advantages"]

Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for BRT — recent Form 4 activity was compensation-related (awards, option exercises, or tax withholding), not open-market buying or selling.

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.

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.
