Is VHI overbought or oversold?
At the October 20, 2026 close, VHI's RSI(14) was 29.2, 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 $212.4M in cash, though total debt stands at $607.4M. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Annual free cash flow of $132.3M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. Return on equity stands at -3.0%, which is negative for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 0.4% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $2.22B (2022) to $2.08B (2025).
Investors considering Valhi, Inc. should weigh the typical risks associated with VHI's sector, size, and financial profile against their own risk tolerance and investment objectives. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing VHI.
