Today's pick · Low Float Bullish Consensus Deep RotationCSVBUY NOW8.6 / 108/25/2026

CSV (Carriage Services) is the cleanest low-float bullish setup on the board: it combines the highest fundamental_score in the pool (6.75) with genuine multi-timeframe forecast agreement and a deeply oversold price structure. The fundamentals are legitimately good — PE 12.37, fwdPe 9.52, PEG 1.31, ROE 17.13, operating margin 23.38%, profit margin 10.57%, salesYoY +1.33%, recom 1.17 (strong buy), and analyst target upside +52.4%. Institutional ownership is 85.93% and shortFloat is a benign 3.23%. This is a real, cash-generative small-cap, not a broken lottery ticket. The tape says today is the entry, not a chase. Price 34.74 sits at just 6.37% of the 4h 21-bar range and 14.18% of the daily range, with drawdowns of -10.92% (4h), -16.09% (1d) and -31.87% (1wk) from local highs. Forecasts stack in the right direction across timeframes: 4h fc_short +26.33% / mid +30.28% / long +23.19%; 1d +13.4% / +27.14% / +20.31%; 1wk still recovering (-1.87% short, +14.97% mid, +16.76% long). bullish_prob is 1.0 and near_term_bullish is 1.0. That combination — bottom of range, big positive forecasts across 4h/1d/1wk, and RSI 39.55 — is exactly the 'buy weakness in a confirmed uptrend candidate' profile, not a chase. News confirms rather than undercuts: Oppenheimer initiated CSV with Outperform on 8/14, and the Q2 2026 recap positioned it constructively vs. specialized consumer services peers. There's no dilution, no going-concern, no short-seller report — the negative price action is sector rotation, not a company-specific breakdown. Why today vs. waiting? Because the position-in-range is already 1.75% weekly / 6.37% 4h — you cannot get 'more oversold' meaningfully without a full breakdown. The forecast asymmetry (upside 20–30% into mid horizon vs. downside to ~$31 support) is the whole point of buying here rather than after the bounce, when position-in-range and drawdown will both have deteriorated as an entry.

CSV forecast chart
Entry zone
$34.00 – $35.50 (scale in; current $34.74)
Stop loss
$30.90 (below the 1wk 21-bar low; roughly -11% risk)
First target
$39.50 – $40.00 (aligned with 1d fc_short +13.4%)
Longer target
$44 – $46 (1d fc_mid +27% / 4h fc_mid +30%, also near consensus target upside)
Risks
  • Debt/Equity 1.97 is elevated for a consumer-cyclical funeral roll-up; higher rates or covenant issues could pressure the multiple
  • 1wk fc_short is still slightly negative (-1.87%), meaning the weekly downtrend hasn't fully turned — a lower low to ~$31 is on the table
  • perfYear -24.17% and perfYtd -18.27% show persistent selling pressure; a broad small-cap risk-off day could take it back to lows before the bounce
  • salesYoY only +1.33% — the growth thesis rests on margin/cash-flow, not revenue acceleration; any operating-margin slippage from 23.38% would break the story
  • Low float (the whole screen premise) cuts both ways — thin liquidity can produce sharp reversals on modest institutional flow
Honorable mentions
GPICheapest name in the pool on forward earnings (fwdPe 5.9, PEG 0.83) with bullish_prob 1 and near_term_bullish 1; sitting at 0.92% of 4h range and 0% of 1wk range with 4h forecasts of +44/+44/+39%. Barclays lowered the target but kept Overweight — that's a modest negative, not a thesis-killer. Fundamentals thinner than CSV (profitMargin 1.29%, D/E 1.96).
LBRDAStrong 1wk forecast stack (+21.8/+82.8/+121.8%) with recom 1.0 and fwdPe 3.76, but 4h position-in-range is 100% and daily is 86.4% — you're chasing a name already extended short-term. BUY_PULLBACK setup.

1CSVBUY NOW8.6Best fundamentals in the pool, deeply oversold (pos 6% in 4h range), forecasts +26/+30/+23% aligned across timeframes, Oppenheimer just initiated Outperform.

5CDNLWAIT6.2Only 1d timeframe available and bullish_prob is null; Q2 was called a 'profitability decline' — analyst PT was cut.
6CNCKBUY PULLBACK5.8Crypto-infra narrative with big 1wk forecasts (+103/+365/+383%), but 4h forecasts turn negative short-term; needs pullback.

8BESSWAIT5.2Big forecast magnitude (+85% 1d mid) but operMargin -68.93% and 4h drawdown -39% — deep-value speculation, not a screen winner.
