Where FA stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the August 27, 2026 close, FA finished 34.73% above its 150-day moving average ($15.23) and 36.80% above its 200-day moving average ($15.00). 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 FA overbought or oversold?
At the August 27, 2026 close, FA's RSI(14) was 28.3, 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.
On the balance sheet, FA has $240.0M in cash with $2.04B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Annual free cash flow of $215.1M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. ROE of 1.9% points to modest capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 2.8% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has grown from $810.0M (2022) to $1.57B (2025), reflecting a 94% increase over the period.
The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. The elevated P/E ratio means the stock is priced for significant future growth. If earnings disappoint, the price correction could be sharp. No single metric tells the full story.
