As of the October 20, 2026 close, WFG finished 0.80% below its 150-day moving average ($66.23) and 1.23% below its 200-day moving average ($66.52). 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 WFG overbought or oversold?
At the October 20, 2026 close, WFG's RSI(14) was 27.4, 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 $74.0M in cash, though total debt stands at $391.0M. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. Free cash flow is running at -$423.5M, which bears watching. Negative free cash flow can be acceptable during heavy investment periods but needs to improve over time. Return on equity stands at -19.3%, which is negative for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. Revenue has pulled back from $9.70B (2022) to $5.46B (2025), a 44% decline worth watching.
Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. 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. It is important to consider these factors alongside broader market conditions and individual financial goals when reviewing WFG.
