Where DAC stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the September 3, 2026 close, DAC finished 24.13% above its 150-day moving average ($123.51) and 31.80% above its 200-day moving average ($116.32). 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 DAC overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, DAC's RSI(14) was 74.5, in overbought territory (above 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.
With $1.23B in cash and $1.21B in debt, DAC maintains more liquidity than leverage. This favorable balance sheet position can be an asset when capital markets become less accommodating. The company generates $4.5M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. Return on equity stands at 14.1%, which is decent for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. An ROA of 6.4% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $993.3M (2022) to $1.04B (2025).
As with any equity investment, DAC carries market risk, sector-specific risk, and company-specific risk that investors should evaluate in the context of their own portfolios. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence Danaos Corporation's trajectory.
