BULLISH
A technical score of 73 and a BUY signal on the 1D chart keep Littelfuse Inc. (LFUS) firmly in bullish territory. Momentum is firm and sentiment at 76 is aligned with the trend - both inputs are aligned and pointing in the same direction. Price action is constructive, which means the setup doesn't carry the reversal risk that comes with more stretched technical conditions. Trend continuation setups like this reward discipline over aggression: the better trades tend to come from entries near $427.42 rather than chasing current levels. $463.04 remains the upside reference, and a sustained close above it would add confidence to the continuation thesis. The main thing that ends trends like this is a change in character, not a single red day - watch for firm momentum starting to roll over or a close back below $427.42 as the earlier warning signs, well before the BUY designation itself would flip. Until then, the path of least resistance stays toward $463.04.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into LFUS?

RICH

At today's price, Littelfuse Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 27.3% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 10.93% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 19.1% a year, so the market is asking for 8.2 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 40.7% 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 87th percentile — elevated for this stock, 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 -8.6% 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 +16.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 83rd percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year LFUS closed higher on 55% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling 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 +3.7%. 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 154 of 3,267 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 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against LFUS's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
