Today's pick · Swing SetupCALXBUY NOW8.6 / 108/3/2026

Calix is the cleanest swing setup on the board today: every timeframe forecast is pointing UP into the mid/long horizon while the stock is sitting near the bottom of its 21-bar range — the textbook 'coiled spring after a healthy pullback' setup this screen is designed to catch. On the 1h it sits at pos_in_21bar_range_pct = 0 with fc_short/mid/long of +21.35 / +20.82 / +20.68. The 4h has already inflected (recent_21bar +2.67%) with a monster 4h fc_long of +56.95%. The 1d shows fc_mid +44.41 / fc_long +33.68 with only a -9.43% drawdown from the 21-bar high, and even the weekly turns positive by fc_long (+26.13). That's a rare 4-out-of-4 alignment where the higher-timeframe forecast is actually the strongest — meaning the pullback is being bought, not sold. The fundamentals reinforce it: fundamental_score 7.25, PEG 0.44, fwdPe 15.59 (very reasonable for 27.84% sales growth and 33.78% next-year EPS growth), debtEq 0.02 (essentially debt-free), instOwn 92.45%, recom 1.22, and targetUpsidePct 73.6%. RSI 41.5 is in the lower half of the 40–62 screen band — plenty of room to run before any overbought signal. bullish_prob is 1.0 and near_term_bullish is 1.0 (the maximum), which is the highest tier of confidence in the pool alongside STEP and KVYO — both of which are pinned at the TOP of their ranges (STEP 77–97%, KVYO 83–100%), forcing chase behavior. CALX gives you the same conviction without the entry penalty. Recent news is a genuine positive catalyst rather than a landmine: ChartMill flagged it as 'affordable growth combining strong earnings acceleration with a reasonable valuation' (7/25), Simply Wall St. wrote about three new rural-AI broadband provider deployments (7/24), and SeekingAlpha's thesis is that 'contract growth is what matters' (7/23). No insider selling headlines, no guidance cut, no dilution, no legal issue — a clean tape. Why today and not wait? Because on the 1h the price is at the absolute floor of the 21-bar range (pos = 0) with an -8.66% drawdown from the recent high AND a still-positive short-horizon forecast (+21.35%). Waiting for further weakness means either missing the 4h inflection that's already visible (recent_21bar +2.67%) or accepting a worse risk/reward when the 1wk fc_long is already lit up at +26.13. This is where the screen was designed to buy — modestly beat down, technically inflecting, cheap on forwards, growing, with analyst support.

Entry zone

$35.80 – $37.00 (current $36.58, buy any dip toward the 1h/1d lows)

Stop loss

$33.00 (below the 21-bar 1d drawdown floor of -9.4% and roughly -10% from entry)

First target

$42.50 (approx +16%, aligns with 1d fc_mid ~44% probability-weighted and reclaim of prior range high)

Longer target

$50 – $53 (approx +37–45%, aligns with 4h fc_long of +56.95% and midway toward analyst target upside of 73.6%)

Risks

Weekly fc_short is slightly negative (-3.34%) — an initial dip is possible before the mid/long-term forecast (+3.42% / +26.13%) plays out.
shortFloat 10.04% is elevated; a broader tech pullback could trigger squeeze-inverse behavior against the setup.
Operating margin only 5.51% and profit margin 4.61% — thin cushion if enterprise/telco capex slows or a customer delays a deployment.
PE 47.77 is optically rich even though fwdPe 15.59 is reasonable; a broader multiple compression would hurt disproportionately.
1h fc_short/mid/long are clustered tightly around +20% — the model sees limited near-term acceleration; move may be grindy rather than explosive.

Honorable mentions

BKVFundamental_score 8, PE 7.4, PEG 0.72, profitMargin 27.91%, salesYoY 52.41. All available timeframes forecast up (1h +19.3 long, 4h +14.76 long, 1d +6.74 long), position_in_21bar_range 0/0/18 — bottom of range with drawdown -11%. No weekly data drops it a tier vs. CALX, but the setup is otherwise nearly identical.

EQXHighest score in the pool (15.5), PEG 0.18, fwdPe 6.12, ROE 8, salesYoY 67.44, and the Orla merger just closed on 7/31 — a real catalyst. 1h/4h forecasts are huge (+58/+54/+58 and +41/+53/+56) with pos 3.68 / 0 (deep bottom). Docked to #3 only because the 1wk forecast is deeply negative (-15/-27/-31) suggesting the longer-term tape is still bearish — swing-worthy but manage risk.

4	SRAD	BUY NOW	7.4	bullish_prob 1, position 0 across TFs, fc_long 35–52% multi-TF; recent PT cuts are the offset.
5	KTOS	BUY PULLBACK	7.2	1h/4h/1d forecasts +50/+69/+53 long, but 1wk fc_long -50.7 and 4h already at 13% of range — take a real dip.

7	KRMN	BUY PULLBACK	6.5	Strong forecasts (+47 to +71) and RBC Outperform, but no weekly TF and pe 212 leaves valuation exposed.
8	CELH	BUY PULLBACK	6.2	salesYoY 123%, target upside 88.3%, but 1h/4h forecasts weak and Q2 earnings 8/6 = binary risk before entry.
9	AVAV	BUY PULLBACK	6.0	1d fc_long +59%, positive SeekingAlpha thesis, but 1h at 98.81% of range — wait for pullback.

11	CAI	WAIT	5.5	1d fc_long +66% but 1h forecast negative and no 1wk data; wait for stabilization.
12	CLBT	WAIT	5.2	Fundamental_score 6.75 solid, but CEO sold $1.6M in July and 1wk fc_long -28% is a red flag.
13	MNDY	BUY PULLBACK	5.0	1d/1wk forecasts strong (+55/+137), but 20% layoffs/AI pivot narrative and at 100% of range.
14	VFS	WAIT	4.9	Positive forecasts across TFs, but profitMargin -110%, grossMargin -51% — speculative.
15	BTDR	BUY PULLBACK	4.7	1h/4h/1d forecasts +45/+18/+21 long, position 0/0/32, but shortFloat 43% and 1wk fc_long -19%.
16	VRDN	WAIT	4.5	4h fc_long +38% and 1d +22%, but profitMargin -482% and analyst sees above fair value.
17	EXK	WAIT	4.3	PEG bullish, but 1wk fc_long -60% dominates the setup — silver miner exposure only.
18	CNR	WAIT	4.2	recom 1.0 and near_term_bullish 1.0, but grossMargin 0.76% and profitMargin -1.49% — no cushion.
19	HMY	WAIT	4.0	Strong fundamentals (ROE 33, PEG 0.09), but 1wk fc_long -69% flags major long-term risk.
20	GLXY	WAIT	3.9	1d fc_mid +44%, but PS 0.14/grossMargin 2% signal transitional model — new AI DC catalyst too fresh.
21	BRZE	WAIT	3.5	All TFs forecast negative (fc_long -8 to -16); CBO just sold 51K shares — trend fading.
22	IRTC	WAIT	3.3	1d/4h forecasts positive, but 1wk fc_long -18% and debtEq 4.52 with negative margins.
23	NTSK	WAIT	3.1	Gartner Leader award positive, but fwdPe 582 and operMargin -95% make risk asymmetric wrong way.
24	TGTX	AVOID	2.4	bullish_prob 0, up 74% YTD/47% YoY — fundamentals great but tape says exhausted.
25	HAPN	AVOID	2.2	bullish_prob 0, 1d and 1wk fc_long -17% and -30%, positive earnings already priced in.
26	LC	AVOID	2.0	All available TFs forecast negative (fc_long -6 to -26); bullish_prob null.
