CPRT is the cleanest setup in the pool because it combines full multi-timeframe forecast alignment with a NOT-extended entry point. The 1h forecast is +1.46/+7.37/+9.2%, 4h is +0.99/+15.28/+19.76%, and the 1d chain is a massive +2.6/+29.88/+38.4%. Even the 1wk mid/long prints +16.98/+32.96% after a -2.09% short-horizon shakeout. Kronos bullish_prob is 1.0 across the entire stack. Unlike VNT, TEL, YMM, and AWI (all pinned at 100%/98%/93% of their 21-bar range with negative weekly forecasts), CPRT sits at just 36% of its 1d range and 8.99% of its 1wk range with a -25.26% weekly drawdown — you are buying the washout, not chasing the breakout. The narrative is genuinely underpriced: Copart is down 38.47% YoY and 27.74% YTD despite a fortress balance sheet (debtEq 0.01), 33.48% profit margin, 36.57% operating margin, and 17.69% ROE. Sell-side targetUpside is 41.4%, and today's StockStory piece '3 Reasons CPRT Has Explosive Upside Potential' is a legit tailwind headline into a bombed-out contrarian name. Novelty score 74, story-stocks score 90 — highest in the pool. Why TODAY: the 1h posture is already turning up (recent_21bar +3.83%, dd only -0.97%), which suggests the intraday capitulation has ended, yet the daily/weekly still show deep discount. Waiting for a lower entry risks missing the mean-reversion the forecast is pricing (+29.88% mid-horizon on 1d). The only yellow flag is near_term_bullish of 0.4 — meaning some choppiness in the next few sessions is possible — which is why the plan is scale-in rather than full-size market order. I passed on JOBY despite the eye-popping +41/+57% 1d forecasts because the 1wk forecast flips negative (-8.22/-25.84%), profit margin is -1232%, and the CPO just sold 27,932 shares at $7.53 — insider selling into a broken chart is a landmine. HDB is the runner-up with the best fundamentals (peg 0.96, recom 1.07) and clean 1d/1wk bullish forecasts.
- Near_term_bullish is only 0.4 and 1wk fc_short is -2.09% — expect chop or one more retest before the move
- Position at 81.33% of 1h range means an intraday pullback to $27.80-$28.00 is likely before continuation
- Stock is down 38.47% YoY and 27.74% YTD — clearly in a downtrend, so this is a mean-reversion trade, not a trend trade; a break of $26.40 invalidates the thesis
- PEG of 3.25 is elevated despite fair PE of 17.63 — if EPS growth disappoints on next print, the multiple compresses fast
- SalesYoY of only 1.05% shows the fundamental deceleration that caused the sell-off is real; catalyst must materialize soon
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | CPRT | BUY NOW | 8.5 | Full multi-TF forecast alignment (+29.88% 1d mid, +32.96% 1wk long), 8.99% weekly range position, fortress balance sheet, positive catalyst headline today. |
| 2 | HDB | BUY NOW | 7.6 | Best fundamentals in pool (recom 1.07, peg 0.96) with 1d fc_long +27.79% and bullish_prob 1.0; slight near-term chop expected. |
| 3 | JOBY | BUY PULLBACK | 6.4 | Monster short-TF forecasts (+41/+57%) and 0% range position, but insider selling and -25.84% 1wk long forecast demand caution. |
| 4 | VNT | BUY PULLBACK | 5.5 | Cheap (fwdPe 8.24) with 1d +16.85/+23.56% forecast, but pinned at 100% of 1h/4h/1d range — wait for a pullback to $28.50. |
| 5 | ALLE | WAIT | 5.0 | Solid 1d forecasts (+10% mid/long) but 90.69% range position and negative 1wk (-10.29% long) argue for waiting past earnings. |
| 6 | YMM | WAIT | 4.6 | Best fundamental_score (8) but RSI 67.75 and 93.94% of 1wk range means the picks-shovels narrative is already priced. |
| 7 | AWI | WAIT | 3.9 | 1d fc_long +12.59% is nice, but 98.76% of 4h range and 1wk fc_long -26.5% is a red flag. |
| 8 | TEL | AVOID | 3.4 | At 100% of 1h/4h range with 1wk fc_long -33.26% and Citi cutting target — bad reward/risk today. |
| 9 | P | AVOID | 3.2 | PE 103.94, 1wk fc_long -33.95%, insider selling headline — narrative doesn't offset the setup damage. |
| 10 | HON | AVOID | 2.6 | Bullish_prob only 0.4, near_term 0.2, all forecasts negative — broken setup despite the JM acquisition news. |
