The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- AOS closes above its 50-day average ($59.28) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($63.26): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $64.55, AOS is 21.2% below its 1-year high of $81.87, set on February 12, 2026, and 19.2% above its 1-year low of $54.16 (May 20, 2026).
- Over the past month AOS rose 14.1%, from $56.56 to $64.55.
- AOS trades at 18.0x its last twelve months of earnings and 17.1x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 5.6% higher.
- Its P/E is 47.2% below the 34.1x median of the 3 other specialty industrial machinery companies we track (GE, ETN, PH).
- AOS's 30-day volatility, 36.3% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.3%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 1.04: over five years of monthly returns, AOS moved about 1.04% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $59.28 (−8.2%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 6.7% to cross the 200-day at $63.26.
- A close above $81.87 (+26.8%) would be a new 1-year high; below $54.16 (−16.1%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for AOS, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under specialty industrial machinery among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for AOS by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
