Top 10 scores & list membership
CHRD is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Long-term score
64.2 #101 of 987 scored · #9 of 64 in Energy
Valuation 87th (price to book 1, price to earnings 9.9) and growth 78th (revenue growth year over year 19.2%, 3-year revenue CAGR 10.2%); weakest is capital return (11th, consecutive years of dividend increases 1 year).
Short-term score
55.8 #436 of 1,704 scored · #29 of 86 in Energy
Trend 76th: the price is 7% above the average price paid over the period covered, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain; catalysts 64th: the analyst consensus rating has improved toward "buy" since the prior reading; weakest is volume and participation 38th: trading volume is about normal versus 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, CHRD's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (earnings payout 715%, operating-cash-flow payout 16%). A payout above 100% in one year is not necessarily unsustainable, but it is not fully covered by that measure.
- Earnings payout715% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout16% 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 Chord Energy looks technically
Chord Energy (CHRD) is trading 25.4% 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 116 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 20, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 65, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day high about 2 trading days ago. It is 3.4% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year).
Trend

|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $129.63 | $129.63 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $117.91 | $117.91 |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| 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 128.35. 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 116 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 116 sessions |
| Above the 200-day after a dip | it recently dipped to its 200-day average (the long-term trend line) and has since climbed back above it — now about 25.4% above | +25.4% |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 20, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend | 19.7 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 65, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 64.8 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($128.35 to $153.00) — its "stochastic" reading is 79 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. | 79.1 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 5 sessions |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $190.23 (set on 2024-04-12) | $190.23 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($84.99 to $149.65), and it has given back only a small part of its rise from last year’s low — 3% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $107.62 to $109.69. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 2.8% |
| From the all-time high | it is 22.3% below its all-time high | -22.3% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.1% below a resistance level at $149.46 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-03-31, most recently on 2026-05-05. Since 2024-08-21 it has 12 such levels below the current price and 1 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +1.1% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $0.07 (set on 2020-10-12) | $0.07 |

Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 37th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $4.95 between its high and its low — about 3.4% 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 | $4.95 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $126.74 and $149.67 — 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 | $126.74 – $138.21 – $149.67 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.4% 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 | 3.4% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 6.1 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (25.4% 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 | 6.1 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 0.4% 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 | +0.4% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.1% above the previous close 9 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 131.35 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +2.1% |
| Gap filled | a 2.9% gap down opened on 2026-08-04 has been "filled" 8 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 5 sessions to close | 8 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 6 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, a fresh 20-day high, MACD momentum is positive, outperforming the market over 6 months, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 6 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 0 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 0 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 12% above 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 uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is moderate, spanning 6.5% of the share price. | +12.3% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 19% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $124.10 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 159 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +19.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 7% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $138.51 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 13 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +6.8% |
Price levels it has turned at before
CHRD last closed at $147.85 on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has turned at 12 prices below its last close and 1 above; the 3 nearest below and the nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $149.46 | Resistance | 1.1% above the last close | turned there twice · 2026-03-31 to 2026-05-05 |

| $129.77 | Support | 12.2% below the last close | turned there three times · 2024-09-11 to 2026-05-29 |
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 $128.35.
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 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. Informational only, not a forecast and not advice.

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.

CHRD had 3,729,308 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
CHRD had 6.82% 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 5.01 days to cover at the same settlement.

- Reported change 12.31%
- Days to cover (reported) 5.01
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.
