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, PANL's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 84%, operating-cash-flow payout 30%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout84% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout30% 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. Informational only — not financial advice.
How PANGAEA LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS LTD looks technically
PANGAEA LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS LTD (PANL) is trading 9.4% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 10 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 17, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 65, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It just made a new 20-day high, its first since 2026-05-27, pushing above its recent trading range.
Trend
9
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 9.4% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +9.4% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $7.31 | $7.31 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $7.44 | $7.44 |
| 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 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 completed three-part downward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes below 6.62. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave downward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 10 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 10 sessions |
| Above the 200-day after a dip | it recently dipped to its 200-day average (the long-term trend line) and has since climbed back above it — now about 9.4% above | +9.4% |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 17, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend | 16.8 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 65, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 65.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($6.62 to $8.23) — its "stochastic" reading is 94 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. | 94.4 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 5 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $9.39 | $9.39 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 13.3% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -13.3% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 79.3% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +79.3% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 13.3% below its highest point of the past year | 13.3% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it just made a new 20-day high, its first since 2026-05-27, pushing above its recent trading range | 1 session |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it just made a new 55-day high, its first since 2026-05-27, pushing above its recent trading range | 1 session |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $10.73 (set on 2014-01-27) | $10.73 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($4.56 to $9.35), and it has given back roughly a quarter of its rise from last year’s low — 25% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $6.24 to $6.39. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 25.3% |
| From the all-time high | it is 24.1% below its all-time high | -24.1% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 2.2% above a support level at $7.96 — a price it turned at three times since 2026-02-06, most recently on 2026-06-15. Since 2024-08-21 it has 15 such levels below the current price and 1 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -2.2% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $1.60 (set on 2020-03-19) | $1.60 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 408.8% above its all-time low | +408.8% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are narrower than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (tighter than about 78% of it) | 22nd percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.2777 between its high and its low — about 3.4% 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 | $0.2777 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $7.01 and $8.04 — 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 | $7.01 – $7.53 – $8.04 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.4% 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 | 3.4% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 2.5 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (9.4% 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 | 2.5 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 1.1% 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 | +1.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 7.4% gap down opened on 2026-08-11 has been "filled" 6 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 2 sessions to close | 6 sessions ago |
Price streaks
1
| Closing streak | it has closed higher 5 sessions in a row, a +9.41% move over the run — an unbroken run of up days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 5 sessions up |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 4 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: trading above its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day high, MACD momentum is positive, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 3 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, lagging the market over 6 months, near the top of its 14-day range (overbought) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 5.8% 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 7.2% of the share price. | +5.8% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 5% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $7.75 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 158 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +5.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 8% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-10 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $7.51 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 10 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +8.4% |
Price levels it has turned at before
PANL last closed at $8.14 on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has turned at 15 prices below its last close and 1 above; the 3 nearest below and the nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $7.96 | Support | 2.2% below the last close | turned there three times · 2026-02-06 to 2026-06-15 |
| $7.76 | Support | 4.7% below the last close | turned there twice · 2026-07-24 to 2026-08-03 |

| $9.14 | Resistance | 12.3% above the last close | turned there twice · 2026-01-22 to 2026-02-11 |
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 three-part downward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $6.62.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones. It was chosen from 3 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
This reading has stood for 4 trading days, since 2026-08-18.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-08-21.

- Consensus EPS estimate$0.2367 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-23
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.

PANL had 2.00% 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 4.1 days to cover at the same settlement.

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.
