Top 10 scores & list membership
STNE is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Top 10 score
32.9 #1320 of 1,379 scored · #217 of 220 in Financials
Valuation 86th (price to earnings 3.7, price to book 1.9) and trend 29th (a trend forming but not yet strong (ADX below 25)); weakest is profitability (9th, return on equity -12.7%). Scored on 5 of 6 pillars — it pays a dividend, but its filings carry no per-share series to count increases from; no annual share count in its filings.
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 (FY2024)
Not assessable from available data. STNE paid a dividend in FY2024, but coverage cannot be assessed from the available data (non_positive_net_income, non_positive_free_cash_flow).
- Earnings payoutnot assessable earnings were not positive that year
- Free-cash-flow payoutnot assessable free cash flow was not positive that year
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2024 (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 STONECO LTD CLASS A looks technically
STONECO LTD CLASS A (STNE) is trading 7.6% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 176 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 22 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is stretched — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 72, in overbought territory (above 70). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day high about 3 trading days ago. It is 40.9% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 7.6% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -7.7% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $10.05 | $10.05 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $12.56 | $12.56 |
| 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 7 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 7 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 8.95. It is the only labelling that fits, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave downward correction, complete |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 176 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 176 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 22 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend) | 21.7 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is stretched — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 72, in overbought territory (above 70) | 71.6 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the top of its 14-day range ($8.95 to $12.06) — its "stochastic" reading is 85 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. | 85.2 |
| 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 $19.64 | $19.64 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 40.9% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -40.9% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 29.6% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +29.6% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 40.9% below its highest point of the past year | 40.9% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day high about 3 trading days ago | 3 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 3 trading days ago | 3 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $95.12 (set on 2021-02-17) | $95.12 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($9.12 to $19.39), and it has recovered roughly a quarter of its fall from last year’s high — 24% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $15.47 to $15.80. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 24.1% |
| From the all-time high | it is 87.8% below its all-time high | -87.8% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.1% above a support level at $11.47 — a price it turned at four times since 2026-05-06, most recently on 2026-08-03. Since 2024-10-08 it has 8 such levels below the current price and 10 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 $6.81 (set on 2022-05-12) | $6.81 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 70.3% above its all-time low | +70.3% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually wide versus its own recent history (wider than about 87% of the past ~6 months) | 87th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.5411 between its high and its low — about 4.7% 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 | $0.5411 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $8.30 and $11.63 — 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 | $8.30 – $9.97 – $11.63 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.7% 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 | 4.7% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 1.8 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (7.7% 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 | 1.8 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps

| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 at essentially the same price it closed at the session before — no meaningful overnight gap | 0.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 13.9% above the previous close 3 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 9.55 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +13.9% |
| Gap filled | a 3.5% gap up opened on 2026-09-03 has been "filled" 24 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 24 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 3 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a fresh 20-day high, MACD momentum is positive, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 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, trading below its 200-day average, its RSI momentum gauge is overbought (a stretched reading), lagging the market over 6 months, near the top of its 14-day range (overbought) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 12% 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 moderate, spanning 3.2% of the share price. | +12.5% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
1
| 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 $12.35 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 188 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -6.1% |

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 $8.95.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
This reading has stood for 1 trading day, since 2026-10-08.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-08.

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.
Short interest (FINRA)
STNE had 13,933,038 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for STNE because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 13,933,038
- Prior settlement (shares) 20,009,096
- Reported change -30.37%
- Days to cover (reported) 2.9
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.
