Where ASTI stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the July 15, 2026 close, ASTI finished 23.64% below its 150-day moving average ($5.16) and 9.63% below its 200-day moving average ($4.36). 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 ASTI overbought or oversold?
At the July 15, 2026 close, ASTI's RSI(14) was 17.6, in oversold territory (below 30). 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.
With $16.1M in cash and $1.3M in debt, ASTI maintains more liquidity than leverage. This favorable balance sheet position can be an asset when capital markets become less accommodating. Free cash flow is running at -$3.7M, which bears watching. Negative free cash flow can be acceptable during heavy investment periods but needs to improve over time. ROE of -86.2% points to negative capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. Revenue has pulled back from $1.2M (2022) to $77K (2025), a 94% decline worth watching.
A beta of 2.20 means ASTI is more volatile than average. Investors should be prepared for wider price swings relative to broader indices. The strong cash position relative to debt provides a financial cushion that reduces balance sheet risk. The company is burning cash at the operating level, which is not unusual for growth-phase companies but adds risk if it persists. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc.'s trajectory.
