A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Top 10 scores & list membership
WDFC is in the Consumer Staples Long-term Top 10.
Consumer Staples Long-term Top 10 — since 18 Aug 2026
Long-term score
49.3 #522 of 987 scored · #8 of 49 in Consumer Staples
Capital return 71st (consecutive years of dividend increases 5 years) and profitability 68th (return on equity 33.1%, operating margin 17.5%); weakest is valuation (15th, price to book 10.9, price to earnings 35).
Short-term score
38.2 #1470 of 1,704 scored · #57 of 69 in Consumer Staples
Volume and participation 72nd: it gapped 8.2% above the previous close and has not traded back through the level it left behind — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed; setup 57th: over the past year its closes ranged, and it has retraced close to two thirds of its move over the past year — 62% of it; weakest is trend 20th: the price is 10% below the average price paid over the period covered, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water.

Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, WDFC's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 55%, free-cash-flow payout 60%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout55% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout60% 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. Informational only — not financial advice.
How WD-40 looks technically
WD-40 (WDFC) is trading 0.2% 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 46 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 19, 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 37, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 2 trading days ago. It is 27.4% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 0.2% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -0.1% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $235.04 | $235.04 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $217.41 | $217.41 |
| 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 high 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 upward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes above 238.446. 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 upward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 46 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 46 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 19, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend | 18.7 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 37, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 37.4 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($210.11 to $238.45) — its "stochastic" reading is 25 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. | 24.6 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 28 sessions |
Range

| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $298.90 | $298.90 |

| From the 52-week high | it is 27.4% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -27.4% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 23.8% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +23.8% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 27.4% below its highest point of the past year | 27.4% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day low about 2 trading days ago | 2 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 31 trading days ago | 31 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $333.42 (set on 2021-02-12) | $333.42 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($187.52 to $264.91), and it has given back close to two thirds of its rise from last year’s low — 62% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket", and this is inside it — for this company that is $214.61 to $217.08. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 61.8% |
| From the all-time high | it is 34.9% below its all-time high | -34.9% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a resistance level at $217.87 — a price it turned at twice since 2025-09-17, most recently on 2026-07-29. Since 2024-08-21 it has 5 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. | +0.4% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $21.81 (set on 2009-03-09) | $21.81 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 895.3% above its all-time low | +895.3% |
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 $7.20 between its high and its low — about 3.3% 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 | $7.20 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $216.73 and $240.78 — 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 | $216.73 – $228.76 – $240.78 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.3% 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 | 3.3% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 0.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (0.2% 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 | 0.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps

| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 0.6% above 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 | +0.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 8.2% above the previous close 48 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 205.55 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +8.2% |
| Gap filled | a 4.5% gap down opened on 2026-07-29 has been "filled" 16 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 1 session to close | 16 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 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, MACD momentum is negative, 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 12% below 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 downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 5.7% of the share price. | -11.7% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 3% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $222.95 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 156 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -2.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 10% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-09 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $242.04 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 32 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -10.3% |
Price levels it has turned at before

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 upward 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 above $238.45.
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.

- Consensus EPS estimate$1.13 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-18
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. Informational only, not a forecast and not advice.

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. Informational only — not financial advice.

- Reported change 2.29%
- Days to cover (reported) 3.71
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.
