As of the August 27, 2026 close, ASTE finished 18.07% below its 150-day moving average ($53.68) and 14.64% below its 200-day moving average ($51.52). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is ASTE overbought or oversold?
At the August 27, 2026 close, ASTE's RSI(14) was 49.5, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was positive, so short-term momentum leaned bullish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, ASTE has $78.6M in cash with $393.4M in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Free cash flow is running at -$1.1M, which bears watching. Negative free cash flow can be acceptable during heavy investment periods but needs to improve over time. ROE of 2.9% points to modest capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 4.2% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been uneven over recent years, ranging from $1.27B to $1.41B.
The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. The company is burning cash at the operating level, which is not unusual for growth-phase companies but adds risk if it persists. At over 50x earnings, ASTE carries valuation risk — any slowdown in growth expectations could lead to meaningful price adjustments. Understanding these risk dimensions helps frame what to watch going forward as conditions evolve for Astec Industries, Inc. and its sector.
