CSL remains overbought despite in-line earnings. Consumer stocks like JB Hi-Fi and Wesfarmers face pressure from slowing sales growth and high valuations, with the market punishing softer qualitative outlooks." datetime: "2026-08-31T05:23:05.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/297466438.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297466438.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/297466438.md) generator: "portal-rs" --- # The 10 most overbought and oversold ASX 200 stocks – Week 36 Reporting season has done what it always does, separating the market into stocks that can't stop rising and stocks nobody wants to catch. The 14-day Relative Strength Index is a momentum indicator that measures the magnitude and speed of recent price changes to assess whether or not a stock is overbought or oversold. An RSI of 70 or above is considered to be overbought, which means the stock is rising too quickly and likely to experience a pullback. Meanwhile, an RSI of 30 or below is considered to be oversold, which means the stock is falling too quickly and is likely to experience a rebound. Most Overbought ASX 200 Stocks The slow-moving moving Ramsay Healthcare surged into overbought territory after a 13.7% rally on its FY26 result (27-Aug), where earnings and dividends topped market expectations. - Group underlying EBIT up 11.5% to $1,162.2m vs $1,082m ests (7% beat) - Underlying NPAT up 20.6% to $365.4m, or up 23% in constant currency, with every region growing earnings - Full year dividend up 13.8% to 91 cps vs 85 cps ests (7% beat) - FY27 guidance points to further earnings growth and margin improvement in Australia and both UK businesses, with capex falling to $480–520m | Ticker | Company | RSI | 1 Week % | 1 Month % | Close Price | | ------ | ------------------ | --- | -------- | --------- | ----------- | | RHC | Ramsay Health Care | 81 | 14.5% | 16.6% | $51.53 | | PRU | Perseus Mining | 79 | 10.2% | 38.5% | $6.73 | | CSL | CSL | 78 | 2.4% | 34.7% | $172.32 | | RSG | Resolute Mining | 78 | 7.1% | 59.4% | $1.44 | | SDF | Steadfast Group | 78 | 3.2% | 12.3% | $5.83 | | ANN | Ansell | 75 | 17.5% | 24.1% | $40.99 | | GNC | Graincorp | 75 | 11.5% | 10.5% | $6.23 | | NEM | Newmont | 75 | 1.6% | 40.1% | $182.80 | | ALK | Alkane Resources | 74 | 7.2% | 46.4% | $1.93 | | RRL | Regis Resources | 74 | 1.3% | 45.7% | $8.61 | Data as at Friday, 28 August 2026 Most Oversold ASX 200 Stocks A handful of stocks like Centuria Capital, Ingenia Communities and Pexa tumbled on results last week. Downer tumbled 10.3% on the day of its FY26 result (20-Aug) and has failed to bounce, down a further 1.4% since. The numbers weren't all that bad, but the market wasn't tolerant of the qualitative guidance that flagged a larger-than-normal 2H27 skew and decline in revenue and margins in the first half. - Revenue down 7.5% to $9,744.8m vs $10,158m ests (4.1% miss) - Underlying NPAT up 11.0% to $293.9m vs $290m ests (1.3% beat) - Total dividends up 17.3% to 29.2 cps fully franked vs 27.9 cps ests (4.7% beat) - Work-in-hand up 10% to $38.5bn on $12.2bn of new work, with Facilities up 20.2% and around 90% government-related - FY27 guidance qualitative only, targeting revenue and earnings growth with margin improvement but a larger than normal second-half skew and 1H27 below the pcp, against ests of 5% EBITA growth | Ticker | Company | RSI | 1 Week % | 1 Month % | Close Price | | ------ | ----------------------- | --- | -------- | --------- | ----------- | | DOW | Downer EDI | 18 | -0.5% | -15.6% | $6.56 | | HDN | Homeco Daily Needs REIT | 20 | -4.8% | -13.4% | $1.10 | | ALX | Atlas Arteria | 20 | -3.9% | -8.3% | $4.63 | | CNI | Centuria Capital | 22 | -12.8% | -19.3% | $1.20 | | INA | Ingenia Communities | 23 | -13.4% | -14.4% | $3.69 | | WES | Wesfarmers | 26 | -3.1% | -10.6% | $79.79 | | PXA | Pexa Group | 26 | -17.5% | -7.9% | $6.68 | | SCG | Scentre Group | 27 | -4.1% | -9.7% | $3.52 | | RGN | Region Group | 27 | -1.8% | -7.1% | $2.22 | | CHC | Charter Hall | 27 | -5.6% | -16.1% | $19.55 | Data as at Friday, 28 August 2026 Last week's list CSL was last week's most overbought stock and it's kept grinding higher, a reminder that the trend is your friend (until it isn't). The FY26 result was no gamechanger, but it ended a run of five straight results the stock sold off on. The numbers came in better-than-feared and FY27 guidance landed a small beat against consensus. - Total revenue down 1% to US$15.8bn vs US$15,423m ests (2% beat) - Underlying NPATA down 2% to US$3.1bn vs Macquarie's $3.05bn (1.6% beat) - FY27 guidance for revenue in line with FY26 and underlying NPAT growth of approximately 5%, against consensus of ~2% EPS growth and Macquarie's flat growth Last week's most overbought stocks (21-Aug) averaged a 2.0% gain over the following week, though that was largely gold doing the work again. | Ticker | Company | RSI | Prior Week | Last Week | % Chg | | ------ | ------------------ | --- | ---------- | --------- | ----- | | CSL | CSL | 81 | $168.30 | $172.32 | 2.4% | | NEM | Newmont | 78 | $179.85 | $182.80 | 1.6% | | OBM | Ora Banda | 78 | $1.62 | $1.59 | -1.9% | | RSG | Resolute Mining | 77 | $1.34 | $1.44 | 7.1% | | RRL | Regis Resources | 76 | $8.50 | $8.61 | 1.3% | | VAU | Vault Minerals | 75 | $6.78 | $6.93 | 2.2% | | ALK | Alkane Resources | 74 | $1.80 | $1.93 | 6.9% | | GMD | Genesis Minerals | 74 | $8.32 | $8.57 | 3.0% | | RWC | Reliance Worldwide | 74 | $4.41 | $4.17 | -5.4% | | SDF | Steadfast Group | 74 | $5.65 | $5.83 | 3.2% | Data as at Friday, 21 August 2026 | Prior week (14-Aug) vs. Last week (21-Aug) The oversold list went the other way, down an average 1.0%. The market is still punishing the softer consumer-facing results, many of them from stocks trading at elevated multiples (both outright and against historical averages). JB Hi-Fi's FY26 result was broadly in-line with market expectations, but the key concern was the deterioration in sales growth from Q1 to Q4. - Total sales up 4.8% to $11.06bn - NPAT up 2.9% to $489.9m - Full-year ordinary dividend up 22.5% to 337.0 cps - Momentum the issue: JB Hi-Fi Australia total sales growth by quarter ran 6.0% in Q1, 6.5% in Q2, 4.0% in Q3 and just 0.3% in Q4 - On the consumer: "customers are making a choice around where they're willing to spend money... they're trading down by spending a similar amount as they did last year to get a product with less specs." Wesfarmers was broadly in line too, but an in-line result isn't enough to hold up a ~30x multiple. - Revenue up 3.4% to $47,274m vs $47,246m ests (in line) - EBIT (ex-items) up 7.3% to $4,493m vs $4,442m ests (1% beat) - NPAT (ex-items) up 8.3% to $2,874m vs $2,833m ests (1% beat) - Full-year dividend up 7.8% to 222 cps vs 219.2 cps ests (1% beat) | Ticker | Company | RSI | Prior Week | Last Week | % Chg | | ------ | ----------------------- | --- | ---------- | --------- | ----- | | DOW | Downer EDI | 12 | $6.59 | $6.56 | -0.5% | | AZJ | Aurizon Holdings | 23 | $3.65 | $3.76 | 3.0% | | WES | Wesfarmers | 27 | $82.37 | $79.79 | -3.1% | | JBH | JB HI-FI | 27 | $69.20 | $67.08 | -3.1% | | WBC | Westpac | 28 | $33.83 | $33.90 | 0.2% | | QAN | Qantas Airways | 28 | $9.25 | $9.58 | 3.6% | | HDN | Homeco Daily Needs REIT | 28 | $1.16 | $1.10 | -5.2% | | CBA | Commonwealth Bank | 28 | $157.99 | $157.25 | -0.5% | | PMV | Premier Investments | 29 | $11.55 | $11.62 | 0.6% | | CHC | Charter Hall | 29 | $20.71 | $19.55 | -5.6% | Data as at Friday, 21 August 2026 | Prior week (14-Aug) vs. Last week (21-Aug) ### Related Stocks - [CSL.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CSL.AU.md) - [JBH.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JBH.AU.md) - [WES.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/WES.AU.md) - [RHC.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RHC.AU.md) - [DOW.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DOW.AU.md) - [PRU.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PRU.AU.md) - [RSG.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RSG.AU.md) - [SDF.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SDF.AU.md) - [ANN.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ANN.AU.md) - [GNC.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GNC.AU.md) - [NEM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NEM.US.md) - [ALK.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ALK.AU.md) - [RRL.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RRL.AU.md) - [HDN.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HDN.AU.md) - [ALX.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ALX.AU.md) - [CNI.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CNI.AU.md) - [INA.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INA.AU.md) - [PXA.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PXA.AU.md) - [SCG.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SCG.AU.md) - [CHC.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CHC.AU.md) - [OBM.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OBM.AU.md) - [GMD.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GMD.AU.md) - [RWC.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RWC.AU.md) - [CSLLY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CSLLY.US.md) - [CLW.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CLW.AU.md) - [CQR.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CQR.AU.md) - [CQE.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CQE.AU.md) ## Related News & Research - [Downer EDI Steps Up On-Market Share Buy-Back Program](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298511926.md) - [Downer EDI steps up capital management with on-market share buy-back](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298652664.md) - [Downer EDI steps up on-market share buy-back](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298369574.md) - [Downer EDI launches year-long on-market share buy-back](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298236683.md) - [ASX 200 September rebalance: Joining the ASX 200 used to be good news, since 2022 it hasn't been](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298529822.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
