AECOM is the cleanest setup on the board today: it's the only name that combines strong multi-timeframe forecast agreement WITH a genuine pullback entry rather than a top-of-range chase. All four timeframes point up (1h fc_long +19.04%, 4h fc_long +31.31%, 1d fc_long +32.02%, 1wk fc_long +17.98%) with bullish_prob 1.0 and near_term_bullish 0.6. Crucially, the weekly bar sits at pos_in_21bar_range 25.81% with a -18.55% drawdown from the weekly high — this is a stock recovering from a real pullback, not a parabolic runner. Contrast that with MNSO/PDD/PODD/BILI, which all print 95-100% range position on daily — buying those today is chasing. The fundamentals are among the best-in-slate for a large-cap industrial: fwdPe 10.95, PEG 0.83, ROE 27.71%, analyst recom 1.38 (near strong-buy), 33.5% targetUpsidePct, and fundamental_score 7.5. Yes, gross margin (7.73%) and profitMargin (3.88%) look thin, but that's the E&C services model — the ROE of 27.7% is what matters and it's elite. Debt/equity 1.47 is manageable for the sector. The catalyst engine just fired: on 7/27 AECOM was named designer for Portugal's New Lisbon Airport — a marquee, multi-year, high-margin infrastructure win. RBC reiterated Outperform (7/22). There's no negative news landmine here. Compare to FUTU (DOJ probe + class actions — disqualifying for #1), TMUS (SpaceX direct-to-mobile threat crushed telecom on 7/29), MNSO (SeekingAlpha downgrade to Hold on 7/28), and PODD (earnings imminent — coin flip). TODAY is the right entry because: (1) weekly is basing at the low end of the range, (2) daily has already reclaimed 88% of range with +10% 21-bar momentum confirming trend change, (3) the Lisbon catalyst is fresh and undigested, and (4) waiting for a deeper pullback risks missing the mid-horizon forecasted +29.5% on the daily and +18% on the weekly. This is buy the recovery, not chase the top.
- Cyclical engineering/services exposure: salesYoY is -0.38% — top-line has stalled and a broader industrial slowdown would hit backlog conversion
- Thin operating margin 6.71% and gross margin 7.73% mean small execution slips on large fixed-price contracts (like Lisbon) can compress earnings
- Debt/equity 1.47 is elevated; a rate re-acceleration hurts both discount rate and refinancing costs
- Short float 6.77% is moderate — not a squeeze setup, but a broken $70 support could see momentum sellers pile on
- 1h fc_short is only +5.99% while 1d pos_in_range is already 88.52% — a 2-4% near-term pullback to fill the gap is very possible before the next leg
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ACM | BUY NOW | 8.6 | Multi-TF agreement + weekly pullback + fresh Lisbon airport catalyst + fwdPe 10.95/ROE 27.7 — cleanest risk/reward today. |
| 2 | PDD | BUY PULLBACK | 8.3 | Cheapest fundamentals in the pool (fwdPe 7.13, PEG 0.63) with full 4-TF bull alignment, but daily at 100% of range — wait for a dip. |
| 3 | PODD | BUY PULLBACK | 8.0 | Highest mid/long forecasts (+58% 1d fc_long) with mid-range 1h entry, but Q2 earnings imminent make it a coin-flip today. |
| 4 | BILI | BUY NOW | 7.6 | 1h/4h/1d forecasts +21-35% with bullish_prob 1.0 and PEG 0.56; weekly still shows -25% dd — recovery play with SeekingAlpha buy reiteration. |
| 5 | MNSO | BUY PULLBACK | 7.4 | PEG 0.17 and near_term_bullish 1.0 with monster 4h fc_long +48%, but 1d pos_in_range 100% and a fresh SeekingAlpha downgrade take the edge off. |
| 6 | TMDX | BUY PULLBACK | 7.1 | 1d fc_mid +55.8%, ROE 45%, profitMargin 27%; capped by 23.23% short float and weekly dd -37% signaling real broken trend. |
| 7 | NICE | BUY NOW | 6.8 | 1wk fc_long +61.4% with fwdPe 8.31 and clean multi-TF bull; downside is targetUpsidePct only 15.9% and RingCentral partner news is neutral. |
| 8 | MLCO | BUY PULLBACK | 6.5 | PEG 0.36 and 1wk fc_long +40.9% with Citi Buy; small cap, thin margins, and 1h forecast is flat — needs conviction. |
| 9 | TLK | BUY NOW | 6.3 | Fresh SeekingAlpha upgrade + 4h fc_long +36% and defensive high-yield ADR; salesYoY -4.78% is the drag. |
| 10 | WAY | BUY PULLBACK | 6.1 | Just popped +17.9% on Q2 beat and raised 2026 guide — great story, but 1h forecast negative and buying the spike is chasing. |
| 11 | CCC | BUY PULLBACK | 5.9 | 1wk fc_long +89.9% and Elliott stake rumor is a real catalyst, but pe 110 and 1h forecasts red — event-driven only. |
| 12 | NCNO | BUY PULLBACK | 5.6 | 1wk fc_long +29% and momentum buy list, but pe 155, short float 17.8%, and 1h/4h forecasts negative — froth risk. |
| 13 | PFSI | BUY PULLBACK | 5.4 | Cheap (fwdPe 7.21) with big forecasts but JUST missed Q2 estimates today — need to see how the tape digests. |
| 14 | INTR | BUY PULLBACK | 5.3 | PEG 0.22 and huge forecasts (+53% 4h fc_mid) but 1wk dd -35% and earnings imminent — wait for print. |
| 15 | SHAK | WAIT | 5.0 | 1d fc_mid +51.8% but pe 64, weekly dd -39%, and pre-earnings decline expected — no edge today. |
| 16 | CMG | BUY PULLBACK | 4.9 | Q2 print jumped stock overnight, but 1h/4h forecasts turn negative and PEG 2.38 is stretched — buy any red day. |
| 17 | CRM | WAIT | 4.8 | 1d fc_long +25% but analysts split on AI growth and fair-value trimmed; better mega-cap software setups exist. |
| 18 | AUGO | WAIT | 4.6 | PEG 0.09 and 1h fc_long +76%, but Zacks Strong Sell and no bullish_prob signal — screen noise, not confirmation. |
| 19 | DSGX | WAIT | 4.5 | Daily at pos 94.77 with negative 1h/4h forecasts — high quality but bad entry. |
| 20 | TMUS | WAIT | 4.4 | SpaceX direct-mobile threat just hit the group hard on 7/29 — thesis undercut regardless of fundamentals. |
| 21 | FUTU | AVOID | 4.2 | DOJ probe + class actions is a disqualifying headline for a full-conviction buy today despite +48% 4h forecast. |
| 22 | PTC | WAIT | 4.1 | Post-earnings pop with 1h/4h forecasts negative and PEG 2.19 — wait for consolidation. |
| 23 | MMYT | WAIT | 4.0 | pe 121, fwdPe 58, recom 1.0 but no TF data in signals block — story stock, not a today buy. |
| 24 | SE | WAIT | 3.9 | 1h fc_long -15.6% and analyst EPS cuts flagged — trend deteriorating despite the screen pass. |
| 25 | NOW | WAIT | 3.8 | near_term_bullish 0.0 with 1h fc_long -10.7% — high quality name but wrong week. |
| 26 | BIRK | AVOID | 3.7 | bullish_prob only 0.4 and 4h fc_mid -10.2%; short float 20.24% adds risk. |
| 27 | EFX | WAIT | 3.6 | 1h/1d forecasts near flat, targetUpside only 11.7%, and daily at pos 99.4 — no juice left. |
| 28 | FRMI | AVOID | 3.4 | No bullish_prob, no fundamentals, 1d fc_long -19.35% — Mizuho PT cut adds cold water. |
| 29 | ETOR | WAIT | 3.2 | expected_return_pct only 10.2% and 1wk data missing; no bullish_prob signal — insufficient conviction. |
| 30 | PLNT | WAIT | 2.9 | perfYtd -48% and earnings on Aug 6 — event risk with no near-term catalyst edge. |
