A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Exceeded at least one reported measure. In FY2025, PSTL's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (earnings payout 217%, operating-cash-flow payout 69%). A payout above 100% in one year is not necessarily unsustainable, but it is not fully covered by that measure.
- Earnings payout217% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout69% 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 POSTAL REALTY TRUST INC CLASS A looks technically
POSTAL REALTY TRUST INC CLASS A (PSTL) is trading 5.7% 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 316 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 18, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 39, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 2 trading days ago. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 40% of its 30-day average.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 5.7% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +5.7% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $23.22 | $23.22 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $21.20 | $21.20 |
| 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 high 22 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 22 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part upward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes above 24.62. It is the only labelling that fits, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave upward correction, complete |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 316 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 316 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 18, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend | 18.0 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 39, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 39.5 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($22.18 to $24.14) — its "stochastic" reading is 12 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. | 12.0 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 12 sessions |
Range

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $25.22 (set on 2026-07-01) | $25.22 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($14.63 to $24.98), 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 $18.25 to $18.58. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 24.8% |
| From the all-time high | it is 11.1% below its all-time high | -11.1% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.0% above a support level at $22.18 — a price it turned at five times since 2026-05-15, most recently on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-10-08 it has 11 such levels below the current price and 2 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -1.0% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $10.84 (set on 2020-03-23) | $10.84 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 106.7% above its all-time low | +106.7% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 58th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.5276 between its high and its low — about 2.4% 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 | $0.5276 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $22.10 and $24.40 — 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 | $22.10 – $23.25 – $24.40 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.4% 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 | 2.4% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 2.3 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (5.7% 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 |

|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 2.1% gap up opened on 2026-09-21 has been "filled" 13 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 13 sessions ago |

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, near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — 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 fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 3.0% 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 2.2% of the share price. | -3.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 3% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $21.77 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 188 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +3.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 4% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-04 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $23.34 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 47 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -4.0% |

PSTL had 2,516,713 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
PSTL had 8.32% 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 6.63 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.
