Here’s whether StoneCo Ltd. Class A Common Shares (STNE) 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 54 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-4.76% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -19.2%; 3-month momentum negative (-19.6%). Currently 43.6% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
STNE is trading below its 200-day MA ($15.28) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 54.0 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -19.2% compares to +22.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 42.1%). The current 43.6% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
