What Hooker Furnishings Corp does
Hooker Furnishings is a designer, marketer, and importer of residential, hospitality, and contract furnishings, including casegoods, leather, and fabric-upholstered furniture. The company operates through two main segments—Hooker Branded and Domestic Upholstery—and maintains a hospitality division specializing in furniture for four and five-star hotels. Following a strategic divestiture of its Home Meridian value-priced brands, the company currently focuses on medium to upper-price point residential furnishings.
Recent developments
The company reported profitability for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, driven by tariff recoveries related to previously invalidated IEEPA tariffs and sustained annualized cost reductions of over $17.5 million. Additionally, consolidated order backlogs increased sequentially and year-over-year, indicating improved order momentum.

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.

Dividend coverage (FY2026)
Covered by reported results. In FY2026, HOFT's dividend was covered by reported results (free-cash-flow payout 58%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings were not positive that year
- Free-cash-flow payout58% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2026 (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.

How Hooker Furnishings Corp looks technically
Hooker Furnishings Corp (HOFT) is trading 5.3% 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 5 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 9, 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 bullish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 8 trading days ago. It is 29.0% 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. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 32% of its 30-day average.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 5.3% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -5.3% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $13.34 | $13.34 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $13.56 | $13.56 |
| 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 12.4. 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 below its 200-day average about 5 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 5 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 9, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 9.3 |
Momentum

| 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) | 46.9 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($12.40 to $13.64) — its "stochastic" reading is 35 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 climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 35.5 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 3 sessions |
Range

| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $18.09 | $18.09 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 29.0% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -29.0% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 48.6% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +48.6% |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $52.75 (set on 2017-12-06) | $52.75 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($8.75 to $17.83), and it has given back around half of its rise from last year’s low — 55% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $11.93 to $12.22. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 55.0% |
| From the all-time high | it is 75.7% below its all-time high | -75.7% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.2% above a support level at $12.68 — a price it turned at twice since 2025-01-13, most recently on 2025-02-20. Since 2024-10-21 it has 9 such levels below the current price and 5 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -1.2% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $5.11 (set on 2009-03-06) | $5.11 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 151.4% above its all-time low | +151.4% |
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 $0.4887 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 | $0.4887 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $12.39 and $13.39 — 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 | $12.39 – $12.89 – $13.39 |
| 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 1.5 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (5.3% 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 | 1.5 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-20 1.0% above the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and had not traded back through that level by the close | +1.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 8.3% gap up opened on 2026-09-11 has been "filled" 27 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 27 sessions ago |

Signal agreement

| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 4 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, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 4.6% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-14 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 13.1% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | -4.6% |

Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 9% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $14.06 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 198 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -8.7% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 2% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-09-11 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $13.07 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 28 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -1.8% |

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 $12.40.
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 7 trading days, since 2026-10-12.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- In the newer filing, risk item (11) was added: 'risks associated with domestic manufacturing operations, including fluctuations in capacity utilization and the prices and availability of key raw materials, as well as changes in transportation, warehousing and domestic labor costs, availability of skilled labor, and environmental compliance and remediation costs.'
- Reworded:
- In the introductory segment description, the older filing describes 'All Other' as including 'Samuel Lawrence Hospitality product line', while the newer filing describes it as including 'Samuel Lawrence Hospitality' (the words 'product line' were removed).
- Risk items were renumbered between the two filings: For example, the older filing's item (11) on the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement became item (17) in the newer filing; the older filing's item (12) on domestic manufacturing became item (11); the older filing's item (13) on self-insured healthcare became item (16); the older filing's item (14) on disruptions and damage became item (12); the older filing's item (15) on government regulations became item (13); the older filing's item (16) on product defects became item (14); the older filing's item (17) on ERP became item (15); and the older filing's item (18) on distribution became item (18) in the newer filing.
- Notes:
- The newer filing appears to be incomplete/truncated, ending mid-item 22; items 23 onward are not available for comparison.
- The risk item numbering differences appear to result from insertion of a new item, but the comparison is based on the visible portion of both texts.

HOFT had 0.81% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-30 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 1.9 days to cover at the same settlement.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-30 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.
