How 8X8 INC looks technically
8X8 INC (EGHT) is trading 2.0% 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 21 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 10, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 47, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 6 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day high about 14 trading days ago. It is 31.3% 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 9% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 2.0% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -2.0% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $1.94 | $1.94 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $2.02 | $2.02 |
| 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 high 17 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 17 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part upward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes above 2.43. 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 upward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 21 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 21 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 10, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 9.8 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 47, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 46.8 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($1.91 to $2.43) — its "stochastic" reading is 13 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. | 13.5 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 6 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 6 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $2.88 | $2.88 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 31.3% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -31.3% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 26.1% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +26.1% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 31.3% below its highest point of the past year | 31.3% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day high about 14 trading days ago | 14 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 23 trading days ago | 23 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $39.17 (set on 2021-01-19) | $39.17 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($1.59 to $2.76), and it has given back well over two thirds of its rise from last year’s low — 67% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $2.00 to $2.04. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 66.7% |
| From the all-time high | it is 94.9% below its all-time high | -95.0% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a resistance level at $1.98 — a price it turned at three times since 2025-05-13, most recently on 2025-09-16. Since 2024-08-26 it has 4 such levels below the current price and 10 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +0.1% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $0.4 (set on 2008-12-08) | $0.4 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 395.0% above its all-time low | +395.0% |
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 9% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move | 9th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.1339 between its high and its low — about 6.8% 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 | $0.1339 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $1.82 and $2.34 — 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 | $1.82 – $2.08 – $2.34 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 6.8% in a typical session — more volatile 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 | 6.8% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 0.3 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (2.0% 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 | 0.3 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-24 0.5% 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 | -0.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.2% below the previous close 10 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 2.3 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -2.2% |
| Gap filled | a 2.9% gap down opened on 2026-08-17 has been "filled" 4 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 1 session to close | 4 sessions ago |
Price streaks
1
| Closing streak | it has closed lower 3 sessions in a row, a -5.71% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 3 sessions down |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 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, MACD momentum is negative, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 0.5% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-17 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 12.6% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | -0.5% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 7% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $2.12 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 158 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -6.7% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 9% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-04 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $2.17 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 15 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -8.7% |
Price levels it has turned at before
EGHT last closed at $1.98 on 2026-08-24. Since 2024-08-26 it has turned at 4 prices below its last close and 10 above; the 3 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.

Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a three-part upward 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 above $2.43.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
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 2026-08-24.
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.

Key risks (from latest filing)
["Secured term loan facility due in 2027 and convertible senior notes due in 2028 create refinancing risk and potential impacts on stock price from increased interest expense","Customer cancellations and churn risk, particularly given the company's multi-year migration from legacy Fuze platform to unified 8x8 platform","High dependence on channel partners and technology distributors for customer acquisition, creating vulnerability to partner ecosystem stability and changes in competitive dynamics"]

AI-assisted comparison of EGHT's 10-Q filed 2026-02-04 against the prior one filed 2025-11-05.
Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- Added phrase 'technological changes in artificial intelligence ("AI") and AI-related developments,' to the list of factors monitored for impact on customer buying behavior and demand (newer filing, 2026-02-04)
- Removed:
- Removed phrase 'more than' before '50,000 small businesses' - changed from 'more than 50,000' to 'approximately 50,000' (older filing, 2025-11-05)
- Reworded:
- Changed 'maintaining a high level of investment in research and development' to 'continuing our investment in research and development' (newer filing, 2026-02-04)
- Changed 'approximately 50,000 small businesses' in newer filing versus 'more than 50,000 small businesses' in older filing (filed 2026-02-04 vs 2025-11-05)
- Notes:
- The text provided for the newer filing appears truncated at the end, cutting off mid-sentence in the final paragraph
- The text provided for the older filing also appears truncated at the end, cutting off mid-word ('re') in the final paragraph
Risk Factors
- Added:
- Newer filing references Form 10-K filed May 22, 2025 (older filing also references same date)
- Removed:
- Removed from older filing: 'government shutdown and threats of shutdowns' from the political and economic environment risk factor (filed 2025-11-05)
- Removed from older filing: 'risks related to our plans to sunset the Fuze platform and migrate customers to our own platform following our earlier acquisition of Fuze, Inc.' (filed 2025-11-05)
- Reworded:
- Political/economic risk factor language changed: older filing (2025-11-05) stated 'including from government shutdown and threats of shutdowns, trade wars and tariffs' while newer filing (2026-02-04) states 'including from trade wars and tariffs' (government shutdown language removed)
- Balance sheet comparison period changed from 'September 30, 2025' in older filing to 'December 31, 2025' in newer filing, reflecting different quarter-end dates
- Notes:
- The two filings cover different quarterly periods (Q2 ended September 30, 2025 vs Q3 ended December 31, 2025), so balance sheet figures differ naturally
- Page numbering differs between filings (Item 1A on page 33 in newer vs page 32 in older), likely due to content length variations
- The Fuze platform sunset and migration risk factor removal may indicate completion or de-emphasis of that integration project as of the newer filing date

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.
Institutional ownership (13F)
5 institutional 13F filers reported holding EGHT as of 2026-03-31 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 5
- Reported shares held 16,853,491
- Reported value $27,976,797
reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 0 new, 4 increased, 1 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)
EGHT had 3,484,259 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
EGHT had 2.41% 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 1.87 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 3,484,259
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 2.41%
- Prior settlement (shares) 3,023,528
- Reported change 15.24%
- Days to cover (reported) 1.87
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.
