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: RSI 52 — healthy momentum range; strong 1-year return of +82.3%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-6.91% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-39.2%). Currently 43.9% off its 52-week high. Score: -3/7.
LBRT is trading below its 200-day MA ($24.62) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 52.3 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +82.3% compares to +20.5% for SPY (beat the market by 61.8%). The current 43.9% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
