Valuation 85th (price to earnings 14.9, price to book 1.7) and capital return 61st (consecutive years of dividend increases 6 years, net share count bought back over the year 0.6); weakest is growth (17th, revenue growth year over year -5.9%, 3-year revenue CAGR 1.7%).
Scores as of 8 Oct 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 4.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, KRG's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 79%, operating-cash-flow payout 55%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout79% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout55% 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.

How KITE REALTY GROUP TRUST REIT looks technically
KITE REALTY GROUP TRUST REIT (KRG) is trading 7.3% 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 1 trading day ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 41, with sellers in control. Momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 28, in oversold territory (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 2 trading days ago. It is 19.5% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 7.3% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -7.3% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $25.88 | $25.88 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $25.97 | $25.97 |
| 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 low 38 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 38 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 1 trading day ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 1 session |

Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 28, in oversold territory (below 30) | 27.9 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($23.74 to $25.47) — its "stochastic" reading is 20 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. | 19.7 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 14 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $29.92 | $29.92 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 19.5% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -19.5% |

| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 2 trading days ago | 2 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $87.20 (set on 2007-06-04) | $87.20 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($21.33 to $29.83), and it has given back well over two thirds of its rise from last year’s low — 68% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $24.30 to $24.58. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 67.7% |
| From the all-time high | it is 72.4% below its all-time high | -72.4% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.4% below a resistance level at $24.43 — a price it turned at five times since 2024-10-31, most recently on 2026-01-08. Since 2024-10-08 it has 5 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. | +1.4% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $6.87 (set on 2020-04-03) | $6.87 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 250.5% above its all-time low | +250.5% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 70th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.4331 between its high and its low — about 1.8% 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 | $0.4331 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $23.59 and $26.16 — 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 | $23.59 – $24.87 – $26.16 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 1.8% in a typical session — among the calmest in the catalog. 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 | 1.8% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 4.4 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (7.3% 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 | 4.4 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

| Since a hammer | 9 sessions ago, after a stretch of decline, it sold off hard during the session and then closed back near its high — a "hammer", the long lower wick showing the drop was bought back before the close | 9 sessions ago |
Price gaps

| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 at essentially the same price it closed at the session before — no meaningful overnight gap | +0.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 2.4% gap down opened on 2026-09-24 has been "filled" 10 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 10 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: 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 | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 7 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, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 7 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 10% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 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. | -10.2% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| 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 $26.24 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 190 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -8.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 7% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-30 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $26.03 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 50 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -7.5% |

Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-08.
