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, CLDT's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (earnings payout 117%, operating-cash-flow payout 27%). A payout above 100% in one year is not necessarily unsustainable, but it is not fully covered by that measure.
- Earnings payout117% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout27% 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 CHATHAM LODGING TRUST REIT looks technically
CHATHAM LODGING TRUST REIT (CLDT) is trading 48.0% 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 131 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). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 62, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 2 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 10 trading days ago. It is 2.3% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year).
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 48.0% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +48.0% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $13.10 | $13.10 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $9.16 | $9.16 |
| 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 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 five-part upward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 5 of five; the labelling fails if price closes below 12.2. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible upward five-wave sequence, in wave 5 (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 131 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 131 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) | 18.9 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 62, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 61.6 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($12.20 to $13.75) — its "stochastic" reading is 88 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. | 87.7 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 2 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 2 sessions |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($6.23 to $13.78), 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 $8.87 to $9.11. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 2.9% |
| From the all-time high | it is 57.1% below its all-time high | -57.1% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 25.7% above a support level at $10.07 — a price it turned at twice since 2024-12-11, most recently on 2026-05-07. Since 2024-08-21 it has 11 such levels below the current price and 0 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -25.7% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $3.44 (set on 2020-03-19) | $3.44 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 294.2% above its all-time low | +294.2% |
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 $0.3646 between its high and its low — about 2.7% 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 | $0.3646 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $12.38 and $13.92 — 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 | $12.38 – $13.15 – $13.92 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.7% 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 | 2.7% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 12.1 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (48.0% 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 | 12.1 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 0.2% 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 | +0.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 7.1% above the previous close 48 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 11.53 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +7.1% |
| Gap filled | a 3.8% gap up opened on 2026-08-04 has been "filled" 12 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 1 session to close | 12 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed higher 3 sessions in a row, a +4.55% move over the run — an unbroken run of up days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 3 sessions up |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 5 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, MACD momentum is positive, outperforming the market over 6 months, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bearish state: near the top of its 14-day range (overbought) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 6.9% above 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 uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is thick, spanning 12.0% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | +6.9% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 32% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $10.30 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +31.7% |
|---|---|---|
| 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 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $13.05 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 14 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +3.9% |
Price levels it has turned at before
CLDT last closed at $13.56 on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has turned at 11 prices below its last close and 0 above; the 3 nearest below are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10.07 | Support | 25.7% below the last close | turned there twice · 2024-12-11 to 2026-05-07 |
| $8.96 | Support | 34.0% below the last close | turned there five times · 2024-12-02 to 2026-04-21 |
| $8.43 | Support | 37.8% below the last close | turned there six times · 2025-01-10 to 2026-05-04 |
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 5 of five.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $12.20.
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.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $13.10 and $14.56 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
This reading has stood for 5 trading days, since 2026-08-17.

Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for CLDT — 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.
