Dividend coverage (FY2025)

Covered by reported results. In FY2025, GFF's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 78%, free-cash-flow payout 13%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.

  • Earnings payout78% dividends / net income
  • Free-cash-flow payout13% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)

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 GRIFFON CORP looks technically

GRIFFON CORP (GFF) is trading 4.9% 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 306 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 13, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a 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 bearish about 7 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-08-03, breaking below its recent trading range. It is 15.1% 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.

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($90.68 to $98.71) — its "stochastic" reading is 18 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.18.3

Typical daily rangein a typical session it travels about $2.59 between its high and its low — about 2.8% of its price.

Bearish technical signals3 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast3 of 9

Trend (Ichimoku cloud)

1
Vs the Ichimoku cloudtrading 5.3% 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 thin, spanning 0.6% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily.-5.3%

Vs the average paid since it last reportedthe price is 6% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water.

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 $90.68.

It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.

This reading has stood for 5 trading days, since 2026-10-02.

    • Older filing (2026-05-07) included a forward-looking description that the ONCAP joint venture 'will be managed' and 'will hold' a 57% equity interest, subject to customary closing conditions expected by end of June 2026, which is replaced by completed-transaction language.
    • Older filing (2026-05-07) included the statement that as of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a loss of $22,648 on assets held for sale because carrying value of U.S. and Canada AMES businesses exceeded estimated fair value less cost to sell.

    • Newer filing (2026-08-05) changes results of operations period from three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 to three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

  • Notes:
    • The newer MD&A section is truncated at 'Income (loss) from continuing operations' and the older MD&A section is truncated at 'Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 w', so changes after those points cannot be assessed.
    • Because the two filings cover different fiscal periods (newer: three/nine months ended June 30, 2026; older: three/six months ended March 31, 2026), certain differences are period-related rather than textual changes.

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.

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)

GFF had 1,782,506 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).

GFF had 3.94% 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 5.79 days to cover at the same settlement.

  • Reported short interest (shares) 1,782,506
  • Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 3.94%
  • Prior settlement (shares) 1,682,701
  • Reported change 5.93%
  • Days to cover (reported) 5.79

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.
