Is PPLI overbought or oversold?
At the September 1, 2026 close, PPLI's RSI(14) was 38.0, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was positive, so short-term momentum leaned bullish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
The company holds $1.11B in cash, though total debt stands at $1.41B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. The company generates $76.4M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. ROE of 9.0% points to decent capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 0.4% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has pulled back from $5.24B (2022) to $2.39B (2025), a 54% decline worth watching.
