HE is trading below its 200-day MA ($13.74) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 23.7 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of -1.2% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 21.7%). The current 33.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
