A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Top 10 scores & list membership
CC is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Long-term score
13.2 #985 of 987 scored · #66 of 66 in Materials
Long-term trend 26th (a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day) and valuation 20th (price to book 7.1); weakest is profitability (2nd, return on equity -164.4%, operating margin -2%).
Short-term score
29.3 #1648 of 1,704 scored · #82 of 83 in Materials
Setup 42nd: over the past year its closes ranged, and it has retraced well over two thirds of its move over the past year — 69% of it; momentum 41st: MACD momentum is positive; weakest is volume and participation 4th: trading volume is unusually light — only about 45% of its 30-day average.
Scores as of 21 Aug 2026. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 2.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Exceeded at least one reported measure. In FY2025, CC's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (free-cash-flow payout 153%). 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
- Free-cash-flow payout153% 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 CHEMOURS looks technically
CHEMOURS (CC) is trading 10.7% 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 138 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 28, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 46, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 6 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 13 trading days ago. It is 44.3% below its highest point of the past year. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 45% of its 30-day average.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 10.7% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -10.7% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $18.08 | $18.08 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $17.89 | $17.89 |
| 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 11 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 11 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed five-part downward sequence — the pattern Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — which on that reading would now be due a pullback rather than more of the same; the labelling fails if price closes below 14.47. It is the only labelling that fits, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible five-wave downward sequence, complete |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 138 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 138 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 28, with sellers in control | 28.1 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 46, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 46.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($14.47 to $17.97) — its "stochastic" reading is 43 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. | 42.9 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 6 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 6 sessions |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($10.48 to $27.94), and it has given back well over two thirds of its rise from last year’s low — 69% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $16.59 to $17.15. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 68.6% |
| From the all-time high | it is 72.5% below its all-time high | -72.5% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.6% below a resistance level at $16.22 — a price it turned at three times since 2024-09-11, most recently on 2026-02-20. Since 2024-08-21 it has 5 such levels below the current price and 9 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 $3.06 (set on 2016-01-27) | $3.06 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 421.9% above its all-time low | +421.9% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 31st percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.9012 between its high and its low — about 5.6% 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 | $0.9012 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $14.13 and $17.79 — 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 | $14.13 – $15.96 – $17.79 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 5.6% 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 | 5.6% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 2.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (10.7% 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 | 2.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 0.8% above 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 10.7% below the previous close 12 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 17.93 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -10.7% |
| Gap filled | a 2.9% gap up opened on 2026-08-12 has been "filled" 6 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 1 session to close | 6 sessions ago |
Price streaks

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 | 4 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, 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 | 4 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 17% 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 thick, spanning 23.1% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | -16.7% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 17% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $19.19 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 158 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -16.8% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 4% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-04 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $15.30 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 14 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +4.4% |
Price levels it has turned at before

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 complete.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $14.47.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones. It was chosen from 3 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
This reading has stood for 5 trading days, since 2026-08-17.
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.

- Consensus EPS estimate$0.2681 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. Informational only, not a forecast and not advice.

Risk Factors
The two filings could not be meaningfully compared for this section.
AI-assisted comparison of two SEC filing sections. It describes wording and theme changes only, makes no materiality, legal, or investment judgement, and is not financial advice. Informational only — not financial advice.
Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for CC — recent Form 4 activity was compensation-related (awards, option exercises, or tax withholding), not open-market buying or selling.
View full insider trading history → View SEC Form 3/4/5 filingsOnly 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 CC as of 2026-03-31 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 5
- Reported shares held 30,394,025
- Reported value $669,580,386
reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 0 new, 1 increased, 4 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)
CC had 12,793,201 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
CC had 8.50% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 6.5 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 12,793,201
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 8.50%
- Prior settlement (shares) 11,684,336
- Reported change 9.49%
- Days to cover (reported) 6.5
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.
