Is ESI overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, ESI's RSI(14) was 26.9, 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.
The company holds $193.1M in cash, though total debt stands at $2.12B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Free cash flow comes in at $50.8M, providing flexibility for reinvestment, buybacks, or dividends. Consistent free cash flow generation is often considered a sign of operational health. ROE of 6.5% points to modest capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 4.7% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $2.55B (2022) to $2.55B (2025).
The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. Understanding these risk dimensions helps frame what to watch going forward as conditions evolve for Element Solutions Inc and its sector.
