As of the September 2, 2026 close, KALU finished 4.91% above its 150-day moving average ($155.66) and 13.24% above its 200-day moving average ($144.21). 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 KALU overbought or oversold?
At the September 2, 2026 close, KALU's RSI(14) was 28.9, 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.
The company holds $58.5M in cash, though total debt stands at $1.07B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. The company generates $33.0M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. Return on equity stands at 26.4%, which is strong for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. An ROA of 7.8% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $3.43B (2022) to $3.37B (2025).
A beta of 1.60 means KALU is more volatile than average. Investors should be prepared for wider price swings relative to broader indices. 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 KALU's risk profile alongside its fundamentals and technical indicators provides a more complete picture.
