A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Top 10 scores & list membership
SNA is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Top 10 score
56.4 #387 of 1,379 scored · #51 of 238 in Industrials
Profitability 76th (operating margin 25.8%, return on equity 17.1%) and financial health 75th (debt to equity 0.2); weakest is growth (29th, 3-year revenue CAGR 1.6%, revenue growth year over year 5%).
Scores as of 8 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 (FY2026)
Covered by reported results. In FY2026, SNA's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 45%, operating-cash-flow payout 43%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout45% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout43% dividends / operating cash flow — capital spending was not reported, so this does not subtract it
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2026 (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 Snap-on looks technically
Snap-on (SNA) is trading 5.3% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 253 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 29, with sellers in control. Momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 29, in oversold territory (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 10 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-03-30, breaking below its recent trading range. It is 15.2% 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 4% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 5.3% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -5.3% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $386.37 | $386.37 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $379.15 | $379.15 |
| 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 49 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 49 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 253 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 253 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 29, with sellers in control | 28.7 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 29, in oversold territory (below 30) | 28.6 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($355.42 to $378.29) — its "stochastic" reading is 15 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. | 15.1 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 10 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 10 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $423.02 | $423.02 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 15.2% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -15.2% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 11.9% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +11.9% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 15.2% below its highest point of the past year | 15.2% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-03-30, breaking below its recent trading range | 1 session |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it just made a new 55-day low, its first since 2026-03-30, breaking below its recent trading range | 1 session |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $423.02 (set on 2026-08-06) | $423.02 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($327.33 to $419.31), and it has given back well over two thirds of its rise from last year’s low — 66% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $359.52 to $362.47. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 65.7% |
| From the all-time high | it is 15.2% below its all-time high | -15.2% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.2% above a support level at $354.54 — a price it turned at 9 times since 2024-11-19, most recently on 2026-05-19. Since 2024-10-08 it has 6 such levels below the current price and 4 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -1.2% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $20.51 (set on 2009-03-05) | $20.51 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 1649.8% above its all-time low | +1,650% |
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 4% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move | 4th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $6.17 between its high and its low — about 1.7% 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 | $6.17 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $360.05 and $378.40 — 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 | $360.05 – $369.23 – $378.40 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 1.7% in a typical session — among the calmest in the catalog. 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 | 1.7% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 3.3 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (5.4% below 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 | 3.3 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

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, its RSI momentum gauge is oversold (a beaten-down reading), MACD momentum is positive, near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 9.4% 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 thin, spanning 1.6% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | -9.4% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 6% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $381.12 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 190 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -5.8% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 8% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-23 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $389.42 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 55 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -7.8% |

Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-08.
An Elliott-wave count describes the swings already printed and the level that would disprove it. It is not a forecast, a target, or advice.

- In newer filing: paragraph explaining GAAP accounting principles and potential volatility from reserve establishment for major contingencies
- In newer filing: detailed Non-GAAP Measures section defining 'organic sales' and explaining management's rationale for using this metric
- In newer filing: Results of Operations for three months ended April 4, 2026 versus March 29, 2025 with complete financial table and analysis
- Removed:
- Older filing contained narrative risk factor discussion specifically referencing Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, mentioning U.S. tariffs announced in Q1 2025 and tariffs on China, Canada, and European Union
- Older filing contained specific statement: 'in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, Snap-on mitigated the effects of incremental tariffs'
- Older filing contained Results of Operations for three months ended September 27, 2025 versus September 28, 2024
- Older filing contained detailed Q3 2025 analysis including $22.0 million legal settlement benefit and related commentary
- Older filing contained Results of Operations for nine months ended September 27, 2025 versus September 28, 2024
- Reworded:
- Older filing stated risk factors from 'Annual Report on Form 10-K'; newer filing presents risks as standalone Item 1A list without 10-K reference
- Tariff discussion changed from specific narrative about Q1 2025 announcements and ongoing negotiations to general risk factor language about 'Price and supply fluctuations related to raw materials, components and certain purchased finished goods'
- Older filing emphasized company being 'relatively advantaged' because 'generally manufacturing products in the markets where they are sold'; newer filing uses identical language but within general supply chain risk bullet point
- Newer filing adds language about 'rapid continuous improvement and other cost reduction initiatives' as formal risk factor, whereas older filing discussed RCI only in operational context
- Notes:
- The two filings compare different quarterly periods (Q1 2026 in newer filing vs. Q3 2025 in older filing), making period-specific operational comparisons not directly comparable
- The Risk Factors section structure changed fundamentally: older version referenced 10-K and included tariff narrative; newer version presents comprehensive bulleted risk list
- Text appears truncated at end of older filing ('Net earnings attributable to Snap-on Inc. $ 756.2 19.8 % $ 785.8 2'), potentially affecting completeness of comparison

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.

reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 4 increased, 2 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
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.

Short interest (FINRA)
SNA had 3,597,666 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
SNA had 6.96% 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 14.69 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 3,597,666
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 6.96%
- Prior settlement (shares) 3,360,787
- Reported change 7.05%
- Days to cover (reported) 14.69
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.
