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 +95.8%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-8.00% over 10 days); RSI 81 — overbought, elevated pullback risk; 3-month momentum negative (-33.2%). Currently 36.2% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
LBRT is trading below its 200-day MA ($24.56) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 80.9, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of +95.8% compares to +20.4% for SPY (beat the market by 75.5%). The current 36.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
