A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Exceeded at least one reported measure. In FY2025, HSHP's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (earnings payout 152%, operating-cash-flow payout 52%). A payout above 100% in one year is not necessarily unsustainable, but it is not fully covered by that measure.
- Earnings payout152% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout52% 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 HIMALAYA SHIPPING LTD looks technically
HIMALAYA SHIPPING LTD (HSHP) is trading 33.4% 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 276 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 9, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 60, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It just made a new 20-day high, pushing above its recent trading range. It is 2.8% below its all-time high.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 33.4% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +33.4% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $15.09 | $15.09 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $12.44 | $12.44 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 9 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 9 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 14.52. 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 276 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 276 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) | 9.4 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 60, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 60.2 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($14.52 to $17.06) — its "stochastic" reading is 82 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. | 81.5 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 5 sessions |

| Since a 55-day breakout | it just made a new 55-day high, pushing above its recent trading range | 1 session |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $17.06 (set on 2026-08-21) | $17.06 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($7.19 to $16.59), and it has given back essentially none of its rise from last year’s low — 0% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $10.48 to $10.78. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 0.0% |
| From the all-time high | it is 2.8% below its all-time high | -2.8% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 3.5% above a support level at $16.00 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-07-14, most recently on 2026-08-05. Since 2024-08-21 it has 15 such levels below the current price and 0 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -3.5% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $4.29 (set on 2025-04-09) | $4.29 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 286.7% above its all-time low | +286.7% |
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 $0.6558 between its high and its low — about 4.0% 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 | $0.6558 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $14.77 and $16.57 — 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 | $14.77 – $15.67 – $16.57 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.0% 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 | 4.0% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 6.3 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (33.4% 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 | 6.3 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 4.0% 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 | +4.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 4.0% above the previous close today and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 16.12 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +4.0% |
| Gap filled | a 3.4% gap up opened on 2026-08-20 has been "filled" 1 session ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 1 session ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed higher 3 sessions in a row, a +4.8% move over the run — an unbroken run of up days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 3 sessions up |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 6 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, a fresh 20-day high, MACD momentum is positive, outperforming the market over 6 months, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 6 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bearish state: near the top of its 14-day range (overbought) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 12% above 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 uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is thin, spanning 0.3% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | +12.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
1
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 23% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $13.50 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 152 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +22.9% |
|---|

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.

It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
This reading has stood for 4 trading days, since 2026-08-18.
