Trend 70th (a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day) and capital return 64th (consecutive years of dividend increases 17 years, net share count bought back over the year -0.1); weakest is valuation (37th, price to earnings 31, price to book 4.6).
Scores as of 20 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, PKG's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 14%, free-cash-flow payout 15%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout14% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout15% 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.

How Packaging Corporation of America looks technically
Packaging Corporation of America (PKG) is trading 4.9% 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 268 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 59, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 6 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 10 trading days ago.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 4.9% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +4.9% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $237.96 | $237.96 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $227.75 | $227.75 |
| 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 low 19 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 19 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 224.8. 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 above its 200-day average about 268 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 268 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | 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) | 20.3 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 59, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 58.7 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($224.80 to $240.24) — its "stochastic" reading is 91 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. | 91.5 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 6 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 6 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $259.98 | $259.98 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 8.1% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -8.1% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 24.7% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +24.7% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 8.1% below its highest point of the past year | 8.1% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day low about 10 trading days ago | 10 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 10 trading days ago | 10 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $259.98 (set on 2026-08-13) | $259.98 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($191.68 to $257.43), and it has given back roughly a quarter of its rise from last year’s low — 28% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $214.69 to $216.80. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 28.1% |
| From the all-time high | it is 8.1% below its all-time high | -8.1% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.9% below a resistance level at $243.45 — a price it turned at four times since 2024-11-06, most recently on 2026-09-21. Since 2024-10-21 it has 9 such levels below the current price and 3 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +1.9% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $9.66 (set on 2009-03-06) | $9.66 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 2373.3% above its all-time low | +2,373% |
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 79% of it) | 21st percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $4.79 between its high and its low — about 2.0% 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 | $4.79 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $224.62 and $240.55 — 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 | $224.62 – $232.58 – $240.55 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.0% in a typical session — calmer than most 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 | 2.0% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 2.3 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (4.9% 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 | 2.3 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Candlestick patterns

| Since a doji | 1 session ago it opened and closed at almost the same price after trading through a wider range — a "doji", the classic picture of buyers and sellers finishing the session level | 1 session ago |
|---|---|---|
| Since a bullish engulfing | 8 sessions ago it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | 8 sessions ago |
Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-20 0.3% 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 | -0.3% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 2.0% gap up opened on 2026-09-21 has been "filled" 15 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 6 sessions to close | 15 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed higher 4 sessions in a row, a +3.9% move over the run — an unbroken run of up days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 4 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: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, trading above its 200-day average, MACD momentum is positive, outperforming the market over 6 months — 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: near the top of its 14-day range (overbought) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading inside the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-14 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 thin, spanning 1.8% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | 0.0% |
|---|
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 $227.04 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 198 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +5.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 1% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-23 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $240.52 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 63 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -0.7% |

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 $224.80.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
This reading has stood for 17 trading days, since 2026-09-28.

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.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-30 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.
