Is ASTE overbought or oversold?
At the October 20, 2026 close, ASTE's RSI(14) was 39.2, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
Astec Industries, Inc. carries $393.4M in total debt against $78.6M in cash reserves — debt is roughly 5.0x the cash position. Managing this leverage effectively will be important for long-term financial stability. 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.
Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. The company is burning cash at the operating level, which is not unusual for growth-phase companies but adds risk if it persists. No single metric tells the full story. Reviewing ASTE's risk profile alongside its fundamentals and technical indicators provides a more complete picture.
