LFUS is a momentum leader on the 1D chart: a Technical Score of 88 with strong momentum and strong trend strength. The score ranks stocks against each other, so a reading this high says Littelfuse Inc. has been one of the stronger performers in the universe, not that it is overbought. Sentiment at 29 is diverging from that strength. $398.40 is the level to watch on any dip, and $444.05 is the next upside reference beyond $431.60. A top momentum rank reflects the prior year of trading, so it changes gradually. Day to day, price levels give the earlier read: a decisive close below $398.40 would say more about near-term risk than the rank itself, while holding above it keeps $431.60 in play.

LFUS is trading with the trend behind it, which is what pushes the technical read bullish. Institutional coverage is thorough here, so shifts in analyst expectations show up in price quickly.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into LFUS?

RICH

At today's price, Littelfuse Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 24.7% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 10.85% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 19.1% a year, so the market is asking for 5.6 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis LFUS looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
55%

Littelfuse Inc. is currently running 44.0% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against LFUS's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 91st percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 27.5%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

LFUS is trading -13.7% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -22.5%, and the deepest was -45.3% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +9.2% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 64th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year LFUS closed higher on 55% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, LFUS finished the month higher 9 of 13 times, with a median return of +6.3% and an average of +3.4%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +4.7% on average, its weakest March at -3.1%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: LFUS has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 155 of 3,266 sessions (4.7% of the time), with the largest gaps running +12.5% and -17.1%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,267 daily closes between 2013-10-14 and 2026-10-09, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against LFUS's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.

What did this article say?
Littelfuse shares fell in the afternoon session as Treasury yields climbed and oil prices rose, dampening investor sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September meeting minutes. The 10‑year Treasury yield reached 5.33% and the 30‑year yield advanced to 5.71%, increasing borrowing costs and lowering the present value of future earnings. Rising crude prices added uncertainty to corporate expense structures and economic growth prospects. The decline reflected broader market concerns about higher interest rates and inflationary pressures.
