Is KOP overbought or oversold?
At the August 27, 2026 close, KOP's RSI(14) was 29.3, 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.
On the balance sheet, KOP has $41.4M in cash with $1.00B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Annual free cash flow of $162.8M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. Return on equity stands at -19.0%, which is negative for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. An ROA of 6.5% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $1.98B (2022) to $1.88B (2025).
Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing KOP.
