As of the August 19, 2026 close, LAD finished 18.46% above its 150-day moving average ($300.98) and 16.69% above its 200-day moving average ($305.56). 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 LAD overbought or oversold?
At the August 19, 2026 close, LAD's RSI(14) was 13.0, 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, LAD has $119.1M in cash with $16.56B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Free cash flow comes in at $547.6M, providing flexibility for reinvestment, buybacks, or dividends. Consistent free cash flow generation is often considered a sign of operational health. ROE of 10.7% points to decent capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 3.9% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has grown from $28.19B (2022) to $37.63B (2025), reflecting a 34% increase over the period.
The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. No single metric tells the full story. Reviewing LAD's risk profile alongside its fundamentals and technical indicators provides a more complete picture.
