As of the October 15, 2026 close, LUV finished 6.91% below its 150-day moving average ($42.26) and 8.89% below its 200-day moving average ($43.18). 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 LUV overbought or oversold?
At the October 15, 2026 close, LUV's RSI(14) was 36.1, 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.
The company holds $3.62B in cash, though total debt stands at $6.87B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Free cash flow is running at -$612.9M, which bears watching. Negative free cash flow can be acceptable during heavy investment periods but needs to improve over time. ROE of 13.9% points to decent capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 3.0% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been uneven over recent years, ranging from $23.81B to $28.06B.
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. Understanding these risk dimensions helps frame what to watch going forward as conditions evolve for Southwest Airlines Co. and its sector.
