As of the September 3, 2026 close, RCL finished 8.43% below its 150-day moving average ($290.05) and 7.13% below its 200-day moving average ($286.00). 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 RCL overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, RCL's RSI(14) was 10.6, 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.
The company holds $876.0M in cash, though total debt stands at $23.52B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. The company is burning cash, with free cash flow at -$1.52B. This typically occurs when a company is investing aggressively in growth, but sustained cash burn can strain the balance sheet. ROE of 44.7% points to exceptionally high capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. An ROA of 7.7% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has grown from $8.84B (2022) to $17.93B (2025), reflecting a 103% increase over the period.
With a beta above 1.5, RCL tends to amplify broader market moves — both up and down. This higher volatility means larger price swings are common. The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. 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. No single metric tells the full story.
