Liberty Energy Inc.
Here’s whether Liberty Energy Inc. (LBRT) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Bearish.
Positives: strong 1-year return of +34.0%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-6.63% over 10 days); RSI 28 — oversold; 3-month momentum negative (-47.0%); rising volume on a downtrend (distribution, 1.25x avg). Currently 49.6% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
LBRT is trading below its 200-day MA ($24.15) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 28.4 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of +34.0% compares to +16.5% for SPY (beat the market by 17.5%). The current 49.6% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
