Sirius XM Holdings's 15-minute chart has reached an overbought state according to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and a death cross has been triggered by the KDJ indicator at 08/14/2025 13:45. This suggests that the stock price has risen too quickly and is now unsupported by fundamental factors. Furthermore, the momentum of the stock price is shifting towards the downside, indicating a potential for further decreases in the coming days.
Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI) has recently seen its stock price reach an overbought state according to the Relative Strength Index (RSI), with a death cross triggered by the KDJ indicator on August 14, 2025, at 13:45. These technical indicators suggest that the stock price has risen too quickly and is now unsupported by fundamental factors, indicating a potential for further decreases in the coming days.
The RSI, a momentum oscillator, measures the speed and change of price movements, and an RSI reading above 70 indicates overbought conditions. Additionally, the KDJ indicator, which combines the K and D lines to form a J line, can signal a death cross when the K line crosses below the D line, indicating a potential trend reversal. The combination of these indicators suggests that the current upward momentum in Sirius XM's stock price may be waning.
Sirius XM's financial performance has been mixed. The company reported a decline in revenue from $9 billion in 2023 to $8.7 billion in 2024, with a stagnant subscriber base declining from a peak of 34.9 million in 2019 to 33.2 million in 2024 [1]. Despite these challenges, Sirius XM continues to generate strong free cash flow, with $1 billion in 2024 [1]. The company's business model, which relies heavily on subscription revenue, has remained relatively stable, with a churn rate of under 2% over the last five years [1].
Investor sentiment towards Sirius XM has been negative, reflected in its price-to-free-cash-flow (P/FCF) ratio, which has dropped to 7.3 times, down around 50% over the last five years [1]. Berkshire Hathaway Inc. recently increased its stake in Sirius XM, purchasing an additional 5.03 million shares for approximately $106.5 million between July 31 and August 2, 2025, boosting its stake to roughly 37% of Sirius XM's outstanding shares [2]. This move signals strong confidence in the company's long-term prospects despite recent earnings challenges.
However, the potential exit of Howard Stern from Sirius XM could add short-term pressure on the stock. Stern's five-year contract worth $500 million is set to expire at the end of 2025, and Sirius XM is ready to move on from him. Stern's departure could impact around 2.7 million subscribers, as 15% of his listeners would cancel if he left [2]. This exit could force Sirius XM to add new talent or look in a new direction to maintain and bring in new subscribers.
Investors should monitor these technical indicators and the potential impact of Stern's departure on Sirius XM's subscriber base and stock price. The company's recent financial performance and the market's evolving sentiment towards Sirius XM should also be closely watched.
