As of the October 19, 2026 close, TAC finished 0.08% above its 150-day moving average ($12.84) and 0.08% above its 200-day moving average ($12.84). 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 TAC overbought or oversold?
At the October 19, 2026 close, TAC's RSI(14) was 67.7, 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.
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.
The relatively low beta of 0.48 suggests TAC is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence TransAlta Corporation's trajectory.
