Position among covered Industrials 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)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, CMRE's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 22%, operating-cash-flow payout 15%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout22% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout15% 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 COSTAMARE INC looks technically
COSTAMARE INC (CMRE) is trading 1.7% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 19 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 18, 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 60, 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
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 1.7% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -1.7% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $15.04 | $15.04 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $15.89 | $15.89 |
| 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 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 13.84. 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 below its 200-day average about 19 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 19 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 18, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend | 17.6 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 60, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 59.6 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($13.84 to $15.83) — its "stochastic" reading is 89 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. | 89.5 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 3 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $17.99 | $17.99 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 13.2% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -13.2% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 44.1% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +44.1% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 13.2% below its highest point of the past year | 13.2% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day low about 9 trading days ago | 9 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 37 trading days ago | 37 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $24.94 (set on 2014-07-24) | $24.94 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($10.87 to $17.91), and it has given back roughly a third of its rise from last year’s low — 33% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $13.33 to $13.56. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 32.5% |
| From the all-time high | it is 37.4% below its all-time high | -37.4% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.6% above a support level at $15.37 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-01-05, most recently on 2026-02-05. Since 2024-08-21 it has 12 such levels below the current price and 5 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 $3.16 (set on 2020-03-19) | $3.16 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 394.3% above its all-time low | +394.3% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 65th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.4536 between its high and its low — about 2.9% 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 | $0.4536 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $14.03 and $15.98 — 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 | $14.03 – $15.00 – $15.98 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.9% 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 | 2.9% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 0.6 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (1.7% 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 | 0.6 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 1.4% 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 | +1.4% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.7% above the previous close 35 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 13.98 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +2.6% |
| Gap filled | a 2.2% gap up opened on 2026-06-11 has been "filled" 46 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 2 sessions to close | 46 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed higher 3 sessions in a row, a +4.62% 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 |

| Bearish technical signals | 4 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, lagging the market over 6 months, near the top of its 14-day range (overbought) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading inside 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 zone traders read as unresolved — neither side has established a trend, and the band is where that gets settled. The band itself is moderate, spanning 4.6% of the share price. | 0.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
1
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 4% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $16.19 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -3.5% |

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.
Short interest (FINRA)
CMRE had 2,056,221 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for CMRE because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.

- Prior settlement (shares) 2,171,375
- Reported change -5.3%

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.
