Is CSWC overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, CSWC's RSI(14) was 43.6, 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.
On the balance sheet, CSWC has $15.0M in cash with $331.5M in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Annual free cash flow of $92.7M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. Return on equity stands at 11.2%, which is decent for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. An ROA of 6.2% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has grown from $61.5M (2023) to $151.3M (2026), reflecting a 146% increase over the period.
