Where GAB stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the September 3, 2026 close, GAB finished 1.43% above its 150-day moving average ($5.58) and 0.89% above its 200-day moving average ($5.61). 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 GAB overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, GAB's RSI(14) was 34.6, 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.
On the balance sheet, GAB has $553K in cash with $102.6M in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Annual free cash flow of $6.2M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. ROE of 15.8% points to strong capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 0.4% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has grown from -$198.0M (2022) to $305.3M (2025), reflecting a 254% increase over the period.
Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. No single metric tells the full story. Reviewing GAB's risk profile alongside its fundamentals and technical indicators provides a more complete picture.
