Is CE overbought or oversold?
At the October 20, 2026 close, CE's RSI(14) was 67.7, 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.
The company holds $1.36B in cash, though total debt stands at $12.40B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. The company generates $949.9M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. Return on equity stands at -22.2%, which is negative for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 2.6% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $9.67B (2022) to $9.54B (2025).
Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence Celanese Corporation's trajectory.
