It does appear as the classic symptoms of overfeeding. Underfeeding will not, usually, be an issue.

It could, also, be that it is receiving too much sun. It looks to be a type of Dracaena and they don't tolerate full sun.

They are also quite sensitive to cool temperatures, so it falls below 50 or so, you will notice symptoms like this.
