Where JHS stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the July 15, 2026 close, JHS finished 1.26% below its 150-day moving average ($11.10) and 1.53% below its 200-day moving average ($11.13). 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 JHS overbought or oversold?
At the July 15, 2026 close, JHS's RSI(14) was 56.4, 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.
On the balance sheet, JHS has $24K in cash with $91.3M in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. The company generates $7.9M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. ROE of 6.3% points to modest capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 2.9% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has grown from -$42.0M (2022) to $11.4M (2025), reflecting a 127% increase over the period.
The relatively low beta of 0.52 suggests JHS is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence John Hancock Income Securities Trust's trajectory.
