Is FLO overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, FLO's RSI(14) was 30.4, 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 $252.7M in cash, though total debt stands at $1.47B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Annual free cash flow of $240.0M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. Return on equity stands at 5.4%, which is modest for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. An ROA of 5.3% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $4.81B (2022) to $5.26B (2025).
The relatively low beta of 0.40 suggests FLO is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. Flowers Foods, Inc. carries a heavier debt load relative to its cash position, which introduces financial risk that investors should weigh. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing FLO.
