Position among covered Consumer Staples 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.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, JBSS's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 41%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout41% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payoutnot assessable free cash flow was not positive that year
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 JOHN B SANFILIPPO AND SON INC looks technically
JOHN B SANFILIPPO AND SON INC (JBSS) is trading 5.0% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 175 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 16, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 30, in oversold territory (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-01-16, breaking below its recent trading range. It is 19.9% below its highest point of the past year. Trading volume is running unusually high — about 2.1× its 30-day average, a sign of heightened interest.
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 $83.11 | $83.11 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $77.57 | $77.57 |
| 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 7 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 7 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 87.24. It is the only labelling that fits, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave upward correction, complete |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 175 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 175 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 16, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend | 16.0 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 30, in oversold territory (below 30) | 29.7 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($72.57 to $87.24) — its "stochastic" reading is 8 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. | 7.8 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 3 sessions |
Range

|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 19.9% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -19.9% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 24.8% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +24.8% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 19.9% below its highest point of the past year | 19.9% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-01-16, breaking below its recent trading range | 1 session |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it just made a new 55-day low, its first since 2026-01-16, breaking below its recent trading range | 1 session |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $127.26 (set on 2023-06-23) | $127.26 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($59.50 to $90.60), and it has given back around half of its rise from last year’s low — 54% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $70.39 to $71.38. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 54.3% |
| From the all-time high | it is 42.1% below its all-time high | -42.1% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a resistance level at $73.99 — a price it turned at 7 times since 2025-02-14, most recently on 2026-06-02. Since 2024-08-21 it has 7 such levels below the current price and 9 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +0.4% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $4.01 (set on 2009-04-22) | $4.01 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 1738.4% above its all-time low | +1,738% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are wider than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (wider than about 78% of it) | 78th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $3.09 between its high and its low — about 4.2% 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 | $3.09 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $76.85 and $89.19 — 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 | $76.85 – $83.02 – $89.19 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.2% 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 | 4.2% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 1.2 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 | 1.2 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

| Since a bearish engulfing | today it opened above the previous session's close and finished below that session's open — a "bearish engulfing" pair, where one down day more than undid the up day before it | today |
Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 0.2% 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 | +0.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 7.1% below the previous close 1 session ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 81.3 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -7.1% |
| Gap filled | a 3.3% gap up opened on 2026-06-11 has been "filled" 1 session ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 47 sessions to close | 1 session ago |
Price streaks

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 3 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, its RSI momentum gauge is oversold (a beaten-down reading), near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, 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 11% 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 3.6% of the share price. | -10.8% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
1
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 8% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $79.96 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -7.8% |
|---|

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here.

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. Informational only — not financial advice.
Short interest (FINRA)
JBSS had 373,950 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for JBSS because the newest share count we hold predates that settlement by more than 180 days, and a buyback or issuance in between would move the base. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 373,950
- Prior settlement (shares) 354,059
- Reported change 5.62%
- Days to cover (reported) 3.12
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.
