Three stocks in the consumer discretionary sector are exhibiting overbought conditions, based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI is a widely used momentum indicator that helps gauge whether a stock is overbought or oversold. An RSI above 70 typically suggests that a stock may be overbought, meaning its price could be due for a pullback. The following companies are currently in this category:
Brinker International (EAT)
Brinker International, the parent company of Chili's, reported stronger-than-expected financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, prompting a 31% rise in its stock over the past month. The stock recently reached a 52-week high of $123.66. With an RSI of 81.03, Brinker shares are showing significant momentum, but they may be reaching a point where a correction could occur.
Service Corporation International (SCI)

The company’s stock has gained approximately 13% in the last month, with a 52-week high of $88.32. The stock’s RSI is currently at 71.81, signaling that it may be overbought despite strong performance.
DoorDash (DASH)

Shares of DoorDash have risen 13% over the past month, reaching a 52-week high of $178.16. With an RSI of 74.05, the stock’s momentum may be unsustainable in the short term, and traders may want to monitor the situation closely.
While all three companies have shown strong performance and growth in recent months, the elevated RSI levels suggest that these stocks could be vulnerable to short-term corrections. Traders focusing on momentum may want to assess the sustainability of these gains before making any decisions.
