Here’s whether EMPIRE STATE REALTY TRUST, INC. (ESRT) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
Positives: 50-day MA is rising (+1.61% over 10 days); RSI 45 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); weak 1-year return of -34.9%. Currently 39.8% off its 52-week high. Score: -2/7.
ESRT is trading below its 200-day MA ($6.48) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 45.5 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -34.9% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 59.2%). The current 39.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
