Here’s whether Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (LW) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Bullish.
Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+2.19% over 10 days); 3-month momentum positive (+11.9%); rising volume confirms the move (1.28x 30d avg).

LW is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($44.61) and 200-day ($48.53) moving averages. An RSI of 68.3 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -15.4% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 31.9%). The current 26.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
