Where WLK stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the August 28, 2026 close, WLK finished 19.50% below its 150-day moving average ($91.84) and 14.58% below its 200-day moving average ($86.55). 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 WLK overbought or oversold?
At the August 28, 2026 close, WLK's RSI(14) was 40.5, 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, WLK has $1.85B in cash with $5.88B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Annual free cash flow of $23.1M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. ROE of -11.9% points to negative capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. ROA of 0.4% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has pulled back from $15.79B (2022) to $11.17B (2025), a 29% decline worth watching.
The relatively low beta of 0.63 suggests WLK is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence Westlake Corporation's trajectory.
