Position among covered Materials 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, MATV's dividend was covered by reported results (free-cash-flow payout 24%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings were not positive that year
- Free-cash-flow payout24% 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 MATIV HOLDINGS INC looks technically
MATIV HOLDINGS INC (MATV) is trading 13.5% 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 18 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 20 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 49, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 7 trading days ago. It is 23.4% below its highest point of the past year. 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.

| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $10.45 | $10.45 |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 7 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 7 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 18 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 18 sessions |

Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 49, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 48.9 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading around the middle of its 14-day range ($11.13 to $12.74) — 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 slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 45.2 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 33 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $15.48 | $15.48 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 23.4% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -23.4% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 67.8% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +67.8% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 23.4% below its highest point of the past year | 23.4% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day low about 7 trading days ago | 7 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 44 trading days ago | 44 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $63.53 (set on 2013-10-29) | $63.53 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($7.22 to $15.05), and it has recovered a bit over half of its fall from last year’s high — 59% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $12.06 to $12.31. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 59.3% |
| From the all-time high | it is 81.3% below its all-time high | -81.3% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.1% above a support level at $11.73 — a price it turned at 11 times since 2024-11-15, most recently on 2026-09-15. Since 2024-10-08 it has 9 such levels below the current price and 5 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -1.1% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $4.34 (set on 2025-04-07) | $4.34 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 173.3% above its all-time low | +173.3% |
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 $0.419 between its high and its low — about 3.5% 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 | $0.419 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $11.54 and $12.44 — 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 | $11.54 – $11.99 – $12.44 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.5% 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 | 3.5% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 3.4 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (13.5% 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 | 3.4 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Candlestick patterns

|---|---|---|
| Since a hammer | 5 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 | 5 sessions ago |
Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 0.6% below 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 | -0.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 12.2% above the previous close 44 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 9.57 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +12.2% |
| Gap filled | a 2.5% gap down opened on 2026-08-07 has been "filled" 43 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 43 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed lower 2 sessions in a row, a -2.87% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 2 sessions down |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 4 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, outperforming the market over 6 months, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bearish state: MACD momentum is negative — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 2.4% above 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 uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is thick, spanning 10.8% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | +2.4% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 16% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $10.25 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 189 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +15.8% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 2% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $12.16 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 46 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -2.5% |
Price levels it has turned at before

MATV had 2.42% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 2.89 days to cover at the same settlement.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 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.
