Here’s whether ExlService Holdings, Inc. (EXLS) is worth buying in 2026 —
based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
🟡
Caution
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+0.34% over 10 days). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); weak 1-year return of -31.5%; 3-month momentum negative (-20.2%). Currently 35.0% off its 52-week high. Score: -2/7.
EXLS is trading below its 200-day MA ($38.44) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 66.5 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -31.5% compares to +27.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 59.3%). The current 35.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
