Is SLM overbought or oversold?

The company holds $4.64B in cash, though total debt stands at $5.84B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. ROE of 30.3% points to exceptionally high capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 2.5% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $1.82B (2022) to $1.98B (2025).
