Is MSM overbought or oversold?
At the July 29, 2026 close, MSM's RSI(14) was 67.1, 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 $74.1M in cash, though total debt stands at $555.4M. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Annual free cash flow of $195.2M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. ROE of 16.3% points to strong capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. An ROA of 8.7% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $3.69B (2022) to $3.77B (2025).
Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc.'s trajectory.
