JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (JELD) closed at $2.93 as of 2026-02-02, trading 75.0% below its 200-week moving average of $11.72. This places JELD in the extreme value zone. The stock moved further from the line this week, up from -77.0% last week. The 14-week RSI sits at 36, indicating neutral momentum.
Over the past 423 weeks of data, JELD has crossed below its 200-week moving average 7 times. On average, these episodes lasted 50 weeks. The average one-year return after crossing below was -35.9%, suggesting these dips have not historically been reliable buying opportunities for this stock.
With a market cap of $250 million, JELD is a small-cap stock. The company generates a free cash flow yield of 26.5%, which is notably high. Return on equity stands at -155.5%. The stock trades at 2.2x book value.
The company has been aggressively buying back shares, reducing its share count by 6.1% over the past three years. This stock also meets the Yartseva multibagger criteria as a small-cap with strong free cash flow yield and reasonable book value.
Over the past 8.2 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in JELD would have grown to $8, compared to $278 for the S&P 500. JELD has returned -27.1% annualized vs 13.3% for the index, underperforming the broader market over this period.
In the past 12 months, corporate insiders have made 12 open-market purchases totaling $6,455,673. Multiple insiders purchased within a 30-day window — a cluster buy pattern that historically signals management confidence in the company's prospects. Notably, these purchases occurred while JELD is trading below its 200-week moving average — insiders are buying when the market is most pessimistic.
Free cash flow has been declining at a -100% compound annual rate. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.
