Position among covered Consumer Discretionary 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
Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which DORM reported a dividend payment is FY2012, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2012 ratio would not describe DORM today.
Coverage is derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures, comparing dividends paid against net income and free cash flow for the SAME fiscal year. It is not shown here because the latest fiscal year with a reported dividend payment (FY2012) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year. Informational only — not financial advice.
How DORMAN PRODUCTS INC looks technically
DORMAN PRODUCTS INC (DORM) is trading 1.4% 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 61 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 14, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 40, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 9 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 14 trading days ago. It is 25.8% below its highest point of the past year. Day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 1% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 1.4% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -1.4% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $128.81 | $128.81 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $123.44 | $123.44 |
| 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 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 five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in the fourth leg, a pullback against that downward direction; the labelling fails if price closes above 124.44. It is one of several labellings that fit, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 4 (one of several readings) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 61 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 61 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 14, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 14.4 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 40, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 40.4 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($118.30 to $127.00) — its "stochastic" reading is 39 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. | 38.7 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 9 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 9 sessions |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $166.89 (set on 2025-09-08) | $166.89 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($100.50 to $158.03), and it has recovered roughly a third of its fall from last year’s high — 37% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $136.05 to $137.89. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 36.8% |
| From the all-time high | it is 27.1% below its all-time high | -27.1% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.1% below a resistance level at $122.97 — a price it turned at 11 times since 2025-02-12, most recently on 2026-09-02. Since 2024-10-08 it has 4 such levels below the current price and 7 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 $3.06 (set on 2009-03-09) | $3.06 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 3876.1% above its all-time low | +3,876% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 1% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move | 0th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $3.57 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 | $3.57 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $119.90 and $126.99 — 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 | $119.90 – $123.45 – $126.99 |
| 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 0.5 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (1.4% 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 | 0.5 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 0.2% below 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% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 9.7% gap up opened on 2026-08-04 has been "filled" 29 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 17 sessions to close | 29 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 3 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, outperforming the market over 6 months — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 9.4% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 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 moderate, spanning 4.0% of the share price. | -9.4% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 2% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $123.66 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 190 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -1.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 7% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-03 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $131.12 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 48 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -7.2% |
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 in leg 4 of five, a pullback against that direction.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $124.44.
This is one of several labellings that fit the same swings, so treat it as a reading rather than the reading. It was chosen from 2 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 $121.55 and $124.44 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction, which fails on a close below $118.30.
This reading has stood for 2 trading days, since 2026-10-07.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-08.
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.

AI-assisted comparison of DORM's 10-Q filed 2026-08-04 against the prior one filed 2026-05-04.
Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Reworded:
- In the newer filing (2026-08-04), the heading line 'Operations' appears on the same line as 'Financial Condition and Results of', whereas in the older filing (2026-05-04) 'Operations' appears on a separate line after a line break.
- Notes:
- The two texts are effectively identical in substantive content; only a line-break/formatting difference in the heading is present. The provided text excerpt in the newer filing appears to end mid-sentence ('Please refer to "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information" and "'), so only the visible portion was compared.
Risk Factors
- Added:
- Newer filing (filed 2026-08-04) states: 'In the six months ended June 27, 2026, we introduced 1,885 new distinct parts to our customers and end-users, including 528 “New-to-the-Aftermarket” parts.'
- Removed:
- Older filing (filed 2026-05-04) stated: 'As of December 31, 2025, we marketed approximately 144,000 distinct parts compared to approximately 138,000 as of December 31, 2024, many of which we designed and engineered.' The newer filing states only 'As of December 31, 2025, we marketed approximately 144,000 distinct parts, many of which we designed and engineered,' removing the comparison to approximately 138,000 as of December 31, 2024.
- Older filing (filed 2026-05-04) stated: 'In the three months ended March 28, 2026, we introduced 936 new distinct parts to our customers and end-users, including 229 “New-to-the-Aftermarket” parts.' This sentence is absent from the newer filing.
- Reworded:
- Older filing (filed 2026-05-04) used 'vehicles aged 7 to 14 years old'; newer filing (filed 2026-08-04) uses 'vehicles aged 7 to 14 years' (removed the word 'old').
- Notes:
- Both source texts appear to be truncated at the same point in the 'Vehicles in Operation' section, limiting comparison of later text.
- The sections provided are labeled 'Risk Factors' but the body content appears to be from the MD&A/introductory discussion rather than the Item 1A risk factors disclosure.

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.

reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 3 increased, 1 decreased, 1 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.

Short interest (FINRA)
DORM had 1,567,771 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
DORM had 5.28% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 8.8 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 1,567,771
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 5.28%
- Prior settlement (shares) 1,541,650
- Reported change 1.69%
- Days to cover (reported) 8.8
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 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.
