TechnipFMC PLC (FTI) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy and $50,000-$100,000 available. Despite positive financial growth and a strong subsea contract backlog, the stock's recent price decline, insider selling, and lack of significant trading signals suggest holding off on immediate investment.
The technical indicators show mixed signals. While the MACD is positive and contracting, and the moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200), the RSI is neutral at 76.983. The stock is trading near its resistance level (R1: 61.671), which could limit short-term upside potential.
