Is TAC overbought or oversold?
At the September 3, 2026 close, TAC's RSI(14) was 36.8, 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, TAC has $302.0M in cash with $4.24B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. The company generates $290.9M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. Return on equity stands at -1.4%, which is negative for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 2.4% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has pulled back from $2.98B (2022) to $2.40B (2025), a 19% decline worth watching.
With a beta below 0.7, TransAlta Corporation typically sees smaller price swings than the overall market, offering a degree of stability during turbulent periods. The debt-to-cash ratio suggests meaningful leverage on the balance sheet, a factor worth monitoring if credit conditions tighten. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing TAC.
