Is NEU overbought or oversold?
At the October 14, 2026 close, NEU's RSI(14) was 54.4, 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.
On the balance sheet, NEU has $93.6M in cash with $939.9M in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. The company generates $435.5M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. ROE of 25.1% points to strong capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. Return on assets of 11.1% further supports the picture of efficient asset utilization. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $2.76B (2022) to $2.73B (2025).
The relatively low beta of 0.56 suggests NEU is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. 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 NEU.
