As of the September 1, 2026 close, ESS finished 5.85% above its 150-day moving average ($267.32) and 7.56% above its 200-day moving average ($263.07). 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 ESS overbought or oversold?
At the September 1, 2026 close, ESS's RSI(14) was 50.6, 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.
The company holds $67.5M in cash, though total debt stands at $6.75B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Free cash flow comes in at $1.04B, providing flexibility for reinvestment, buybacks, or dividends. Consistent free cash flow generation is often considered a sign of operational health. ROE of 7.7% points to modest capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 3.0% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been uneven over recent years, ranging from $1.61B to $1.89B.
The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing ESS.
