Where PKG stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the September 3, 2026 close, PKG finished 2.96% above its 150-day moving average ($226.83) and 5.60% above its 200-day moving average ($221.16). 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 PKG overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, PKG's RSI(14) was 23.5, 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, PKG has $593.8M in cash with $4.40B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Annual free cash flow of $433.0M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. ROE of 14.9% points to decent capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. An ROA of 8.3% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $8.48B (2022) to $8.99B (2025).
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 PKG's risk profile alongside its fundamentals and technical indicators provides a more complete picture.
