Top 10 scores & list membership
LINE is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Long-term score
36.3 #887 of 987 scored · #78 of 84 in Real Estate
Valuation 87th (price to book 1.2) and long-term trend 52nd (it is 9.0% below its highest point of the past year); weakest is profitability (8th, return on equity -2.1%, operating margin 2.5%).
Short-term score
41.0 #1344 of 1,704 scored · #68 of 94 in Real Estate
Setup 61st: day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 2% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move; catalysts 53rd: analysts have raised their average price target by 0.5% since the prior reading; weakest is volume and participation 2nd: trading volume is unusually light — only about 41% of its 30-day average.
Scores as of 21 Aug 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 2.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Exceeded at least one reported measure. In FY2025, LINE's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (free-cash-flow payout 274%). A payout above 100% in one year is not necessarily unsustainable, but it is not fully covered by that measure.
- Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings were not positive that year
- Free-cash-flow payout274% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
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 Lineage, Inc. looks technically
Lineage, Inc. (LINE) is trading 8.6% 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 50 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 8, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 48, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 12 trading days ago. Day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 2% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 41% of its 30-day average.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 8.6% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +8.6% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $42.63 | $42.63 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $38.32 | $38.32 |
| 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 high 8 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 8 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five; the labelling fails if price closes above 43.135. 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 three-part correction in leg C. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 3 (one of several readings) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 50 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 50 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 8, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 8.1 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 48, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 47.7 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($40.37 to $43.13) — its "stochastic" reading is 45 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. | 44.9 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 35 sessions |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $89.85 (set on 2024-07-31) | $89.85 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($31.80 to $45.10), and it has given back roughly a quarter of its rise from last year’s low — 26% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $36.45 to $36.88. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 26.2% |
| From the all-time high | it is 53.7% below its all-time high | -53.7% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a support level at $41.51 — a price it turned at 8 times since 2025-05-06, most recently on 2026-06-03. Since 2024-08-21 it has 6 such levels below the current price and 10 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.2% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $31.33 (set on 2026-03-30) | $31.33 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 32.8% above its all-time low | +32.8% |
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 2% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move | 2nd percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.28 between its high and its low — about 3.1% 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 | $1.28 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $40.29 and $43.62 — 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 | $40.29 – $41.96 – $43.62 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.1% 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 | 3.1% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 2.6 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (8.6% 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 | 2.6 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 1.4% 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 | +1.4% |
|---|---|---|

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 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 — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: MACD momentum is negative, lagging the market over 6 months — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |

1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading inside 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 zone traders read as unresolved — neither side has established a trend, and the band is where that gets settled. The band itself is moderate, spanning 7.5% of the share price. | 0.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 7% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $38.90 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +7.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is sitting right on the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is roughly break-even. That average is $41.56 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 13 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +0.1% |

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 downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $43.13.
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 $35.64 and $38.51 — 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 three-part correction in leg C, which fails on a close above $43.13.
This reading has stood for 2 trading days, since 2026-08-20.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-08-21.

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.
