Here’s whether DNOW Inc. (DNOW) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Bearish.
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-5.78% over 10 days); RSI 72 — overbought, elevated pullback risk; weak 1-year return of -16.7%; 3-month momentum negative (-13.8%). Currently 22.3% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
DNOW is trading below its 200-day MA ($14.04) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 72.1, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -16.7% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 41.0%). The current 22.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
