When stocks in the consumer discretionary sector get beaten down, they might represent buying opportunities. Here's a look at three companies with RSI readings below 30, signaling they're technically oversold and potentially due for a bounce.

Sometimes the most interesting opportunities in the stock market show up in the beaten-down corners. The consumer discretionary sector has its share of oversold names right now, and for traders who understand momentum indicators, that might mean something.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator that compares how strong a stock is on up days versus down days. Think of it as a temperature reading for whether a stock has been pushed too far in one direction. When the RSI drops below 30, the conventional wisdom says a stock is oversold—which doesn't guarantee it'll bounce back, but it does suggest the selling pressure might be getting exhausted.

Here are three major consumer discretionary stocks currently sitting near or below that 30 threshold, along with what's been driving them down.

Stride Inc. (LRN)

Stride Inc. (LRN) operates virtual education programs, and it's had a rough six months. The stock has dropped around 55% during that stretch, landing at a 52-week low of $60.61. But here's the interesting part: on November 3, the company authorized a $500 million stock repurchase program. That's management putting money where their mouth is, signaling they think the stock is undervalued.

RSI Value: 29.8

Recent Price Action: Shares of Stride gained 1.1% to close at $63.41 on Thursday.

Additional Metrics: The stock carries a Momentum score of 6.59 with a Value rating of 82.83.

Oxford Industries Inc. (OXM)

Oxford Industries Inc. (OXM) had a particularly brutal week, with shares falling around 21% over five days. The apparel company dropped to a 52-week low of $30.57 after reporting third-quarter results on December 10 and cutting its full-year fiscal 2025 guidance below analyst estimates. The fourth-quarter outlook also came in light.

Chairman and CEO Tom Chubb offered some insight into what's happening: "Our third quarter results came in as expected and reflect the disciplined execution across our brands in a highly competitive and promotional environment. While we witnessed pockets of strength within our businesses, consumers have become increasingly choiceful, especially with respect to the more discretionary aspects of their wardrobe. As we entered the holiday season, our customers have been highly value-driven, seeking both compelling promotions and new, innovative products."

Translation: people are still buying clothes, but they're being extremely picky about when and what they buy. Not great news for a company trying to maintain margins.

RSI Value: 24.6

Recent Price Action: Shares of Oxford Industries fell 21.2% to close at $31.86 on Thursday.

Coupang Inc. (CPNG)

Coupang Inc. (CPNG), often called the Amazon of South Korea, has dropped about 10% over the past month to a 52-week low of $19.02. The catalyst? On December 10, CEO Park Dae-Jun resigned following a data breach at the company. Leadership changes after security incidents tend to make investors nervous, and this was no exception.

RSI Value: 28.6

Recent Price Action: Shares of Coupang fell 0.8% to close at $25.86 on Thursday.

These three stocks represent different flavors of trouble in the consumer discretionary space—one facing education sector headwinds, one dealing with choosy shoppers, and one managing a security crisis. But they all share that oversold technical signal. Whether that represents opportunity or a value trap depends on how you read the underlying business fundamentals. The RSI tells you the momentum story. The rest is up to you.
