Where JACK stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the September 3, 2026 close, JACK finished 8.63% above its 150-day moving average ($14.60) and 0.06% below its 200-day moving average ($15.87). 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 JACK overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, JACK's RSI(14) was 31.9, 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, JACK has $46.3M in cash with $2.48B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Free cash flow is running at -$9.3M, which bears watching. Negative free cash flow can be acceptable during heavy investment periods but needs to improve over time. ROA of 4.2% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $1.47B (2022) to $1.47B (2025).
The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. Negative free cash flow means the company is currently spending more than it generates, which may require future fundraising or debt if the trend continues. No single metric tells the full story. Reviewing JACK's risk profile alongside its fundamentals and technical indicators provides a more complete picture.
