Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, EPSN's dividend was covered by reported results (operating-cash-flow payout 29%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings were not positive that year
- Operating-cash-flow payout29% 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 EPSILON ENERGY LTD looks technically
EPSILON ENERGY LTD (EPSN) is trading 4.2% 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 94 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 50, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 7 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day low about 8 trading days ago. It is 15.6% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend
9
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 4.2% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +4.2% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $5.51 | $5.51 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $5.38 | $5.38 |
| 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 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 completed three-part downward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes below 5.26. 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 94 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 94 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 4.2% above | +4.2% |
| 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) | 13.9 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 50, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 49.9 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading around the middle of its 14-day range ($5.26 to $5.98) — its "stochastic" reading is 49 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. | 48.6 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 7 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 7 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $6.65 | $6.65 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 15.6% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -15.6% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 33.6% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +33.6% |

| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 42 trading days ago | 42 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $8.86 (set on 2008-06-18) | $8.86 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($4.25 to $6.49), and it has given back roughly a third of its rise from last year’s low — 39% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $5.03 to $5.11. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 39.3% |
| From the all-time high | it is 36.7% below its all-time high | -36.7% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a support level at $5.58 — a price it turned at five times since 2024-11-01, most recently on 2026-06-30. Since 2024-08-26 it has 6 such levels below the current price and 6 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.5% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $0.3 (set on 2015-06-04) | $0.3 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 1770.0% above its all-time low | +1,770% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are narrower than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (tighter than about 80% of it) | 20th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.211 between its high and its low — about 3.8% 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 | $0.211 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $5.33 and $5.91 — 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 | $5.33 – $5.62 – $5.91 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.8% 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 | 3.8% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 1.1 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (4.2% 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 | 1.1 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-24 0.4% 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 | -0.4% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 7.2% below the previous close 7 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 5.94 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -7.2% |
| Gap filled | a 2.1% gap up opened on 2026-08-18 has been "filled" 4 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 4 sessions ago |
Price streaks

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, trading above its 200-day average, outperforming the market over 6 months — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bearish state: MACD momentum is negative — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 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 7.1% of the share price. | 0.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is sitting right on the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is roughly break-even. That average is $5.58 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 160 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +0.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 4% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2025-08-13 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $5.40 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 258 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +3.8% |

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 $5.26.
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 reading has stood for 2 trading days, since 2026-08-21.

Key risks (from latest filing)
["Exposure to commodity price volatility for natural gas, crude oil, and NGL — the company's revenues are directly tied to market prices for these commodities, which fluctuate based on global supply and demand dynamics.","Unprofitability and negative net margins — despite 53.71% revenue growth YoY, the company reported a net margin of -14.89%, indicating operational losses and cash burn that may constrain capital allocation and debt servicing capability.","Reserve depletion and production decline risk — the company's reserves are finite and subject to depletion; continued production growth depends on successful acquisition and development of new reserves, and operational challenges in any of the company's core basins could impact production volumes."]

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.

reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 0 new, 3 increased, 2 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.

Short interest (FINRA)
EPSN had 1,377,876 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
EPSN had 4.55% 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 10.25 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 1,377,876
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 4.55%
- Prior settlement (shares) 1,282,153
- Reported change 7.47%
- Days to cover (reported) 10.25
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.
