Scores as of 21 Aug 2026. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 2.
Dividend coverage
Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which HAYW reported a dividend payment is FY2020, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2020 ratio would not describe HAYW 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 (FY2020) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year.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 Hayward Holdings looks technically
Hayward Holdings (HAYW) is trading 5.0% 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 95 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 17, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 42, 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 13 trading days ago. It is 17.8% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 5.0% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -5.0% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $15.35 | $15.35 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $15.35 | $15.35 |
| 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 high 23 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 23 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 16.41. 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 95 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 95 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 17, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 17.1 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 42, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 41.9 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading right at the bottom of its 14-day range ($14.51 to $16.32) — its "stochastic" reading is 4 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. | 3.9 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 6 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 6 sessions |
Range

| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $17.73 | $17.73 |

| From the 52-week high | it is 17.8% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -17.8% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 12.8% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +12.8% |

| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day high about 13 trading days ago | 13 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 38 trading days ago | 38 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $28.65 (set on 2021-11-18) | $28.65 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($13.08 to $17.31), and it has given back close to two thirds of its rise from last year’s low — 65% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket", and this is inside it — for this company that is $14.56 to $14.70. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 64.5% |
| From the all-time high | it is 49.1% below its all-time high | -49.1% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.1% above a support level at $14.42 — a price it turned at 7 times since 2025-03-20, most recently on 2026-06-23. Since 2024-08-21 it has 4 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. | -1.1% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $7.97 (set on 2022-10-21) | $7.97 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 82.9% above its all-time low | +82.9% |
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 82% of it) | 18th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.4574 between its high and its low — about 3.1% 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 | $0.4574 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $14.34 and $16.18 — 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 | $14.34 – $15.26 – $16.18 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.1% 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 | 3.1% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 1.7 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (5.0% 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 | 1.7 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Candlestick patterns

Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 0.3% above 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 | +0.3% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 3.2% gap up opened on 2026-07-30 has been "filled" 16 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 16 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed lower 2 sessions in a row, a -3.44% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 2 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 3.9% below 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 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 3.9% of the share price. | -3.9% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| 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 $15.15 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 155 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -3.8% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 5% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-29 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $15.38 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 18 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -5.2% |

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 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 $16.41.
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 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 2026-08-21.
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.

- Consensus EPS estimate$0.1548 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-21
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. Informational only, not a forecast and not advice.

- Older filing (2025-10-29) included two specific risk factors regarding AI technologies and litigation/product liability claims; these are not present in newer filing's Risk Factors section.
- Older filing (2025-10-29) stated company had no repurchases in quarter ended September 27, 2025; newer filing shows repurchases occurred in subsequent period.
- Older filing (2025-10-29) showed $450.0 million available under Share Repurchase Program as of September 27, 2025; newer filing shows $440.2 million available as of March 28, 2026.

The older filing contains two substantive risk factors (AI technologies and litigation/product liability) that do not appear in the newer filing's Risk Factors section. The newer filing's Risk Factors section is minimal and references the 10-K for detailed discussion. It is unclear whether these risk factors were removed, relocated to the 10-K, or if this is a periodic variation in 10-Q disclosure.
- The newer filing content provided extends into Item 2 and Item 5 sections covering share repurchases and trading plans; the older filing excerpt ends mid-Item 5. Comparison is limited to the sections actually provided.

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.
