Graphic Packaging Holding Company
Here’s whether Graphic Packaging Holding Company (GPK) 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: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+1.36% over 10 days); RSI 59 — healthy momentum range; 3-month momentum positive (+17.6%). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); weak 1-year return of -47.8%; declining volume on rally — weak conviction (0.77x 30d avg). Currently 49.0% off its 52-week high. Score: +0/7.
GPK is trading below its 200-day MA ($12.21) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 59.2 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -47.8% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 68.2%). The current 49.0% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
