Flowserve Corporation
Here’s whether Flowserve Corporation (FLS) 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: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); strong 1-year return of +55.2%. Concerns: below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-1.25% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-9.5%); rising volume on a downtrend (distribution, 1.36x avg). Currently 22.5% off its 52-week high. Score: +0/7.
FLS is holding above its long-term 200-day MA ($68.04) but has slipped below the 50-day MA ($79.88), pointing to short-term weakness in an otherwise intact trend. An RSI of 33.2 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +55.2% compares to +24.4% for SPY (beat the market by 30.9%). The current 22.5% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
