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. A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
How MARINEMAX INC looks technically
MARINEMAX INC (HZO) is trading 71.4% 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 226 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong uptrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 32, with buyers in control. Momentum is stretched — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 82, in overbought territory (above 70). It made a new 20-day high about 9 trading days ago. It is trading right at its highest price of the past year (its 52-week high).
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 71.4% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +71.4% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $38.45 | $38.45 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $30.45 | $30.45 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been higher than the one before it and each dip has been shallower — the pattern chart-watchers call an uptrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | higher highs and higher lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 10 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 10 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part upward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in the fourth leg, a pullback against that upward direction; the labelling fails if price closes below 36.86. It is one of several labellings that fit, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction. | possible upward five-wave sequence, in wave 4 (one of several readings) |

| 14-day RSI | momentum is stretched — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 82, in overbought territory (above 70) | 81.7 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading right at the top of its 14-day range ($32.09 to $52.46) — its "stochastic" reading is 99 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. | 98.7 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in positive territory (momentum leaning bullish) | 15 sessions |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $70.89 (set on 2021-05-10) | $70.89 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($21.43 to $52.46), and it has given back essentially none of its rise from last year’s low — 1% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $32.29 to $33.28. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 0.8% |
| From the all-time high | it is 26.4% below its all-time high | -26.4% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 27.2% above a support level at $37.99 — a price it turned at twice since 2024-09-18, most recently on 2026-06-25. Since 2024-08-21 it has 16 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. | -27.2% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $1.19 (set on 2009-03-09) | $1.19 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 4286.6% above its all-time low | +4,287% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually wide versus its own recent history (wider than about 96% of the past ~6 months) | 96th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.48 between its high and its low — about 2.8% 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 | $1.48 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $26.85 and $60.65 — 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 | $26.85 – $43.75 – $60.65 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.8% in a typical session — calmer than most 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 | 2.8% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 14.7 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (71.4% 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 | 14.7 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 at essentially the same price it closed at the session before — no meaningful overnight gap | +0.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 45.4% above the previous close 9 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 35.68 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +45.4% |
| Gap filled | a 3.6% gap down opened on 2026-07-23 has been "filled" 21 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 21 sessions ago |
Price streaks

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 6 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a strong uptrend, with buyers in control, a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, trading above its 200-day average, 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 | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: its RSI momentum gauge is overbought (a stretched reading), near the top of its 14-day range (overbought) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 49% 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 moderate, spanning 4.3% of the share price. | +48.9% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 45% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $35.98 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 158 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +45.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 7% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-23 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $48.85 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 22 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +6.8% |
Price levels it has turned at before
HZO last closed at $52.20 on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has turned at 16 prices below its last close and 0 above; the 3 nearest below are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $37.99 | Support | 27.2% below the last close | turned there twice · 2024-09-18 to 2026-06-25 |
| $36.19 | Support | 30.7% below the last close | turned there twice · 2026-05-22 to 2026-07-16 |
| $33.50 | Support | 35.8% below the last close | turned there five times · 2024-10-15 to 2026-07-13 |
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 five-part upward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 4 of five, a pullback against that direction.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $36.86.
This is one of several labellings that fit the same swings, so treat it as a reading rather than the reading. It was chosen from 2 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $42.27 and $47.65 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction, which fails on a close above $52.46.
This reading has stood for 4 trading days, since 2026-08-18.
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.

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.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- Newer filing (2026-04-23) adds: 'our plans to accelerate our growth through acquisitions' in forward-looking statements (removes reference to 'new store openings' from older version)
- Removed:
- Older filing (2026-01-29) contained references to three specific acquisitions: 'In October 2023, we acquired AGY, a luxury charter management agency based in Athens, Greece. In March 2024, we acquired Williams, a premier distributor and retailer for UK-based Williams Jet Tenders Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of rigid inflatable jet tenders for the luxury yacht market. In March 2024, we also acquired Native Marine, a boat dealer based in Islamorada, Florida.' - these sentences are removed in newer filing (2026-04-23)
- Reworded:
- Forward-looking statements section changed from 'our plans to accelerate our growth through acquisitions and new store openings' (older, filed 2026-01-29) to 'our plans to accelerate our growth through acquisitions' (newer, filed 2026-04-23) - removal of 'and new store openings'
- Notes:
- The text provided is truncated at the end of both versions; comparison limited to complete sentences available
- Newer filing appears to consolidate acquisition history by removing specific historical acquisitions from October 2023 and March 2024, retaining only October 2024, January 2025, and March 2025 acquisitions

Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for HZO — recent Form 4 activity was compensation-related (awards, option exercises, or tax withholding), not open-market buying or selling.
View full insider trading history → View SEC Form 3/4/5 filingsOnly 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. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.

reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 0 new, 2 increased, 2 decreased, 1 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. 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)
HZO had 2,927,051 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
HZO had 13.3% 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 8.7 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 2,927,051
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 13.3%
- Prior settlement (shares) 2,592,596
- Reported change 12.9%
- Days to cover (reported) 8.7
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.
