Today's pick · Model AlignedDYBUY NOW8.2 / 108/31/2026

Dycom (DY) is the cleanest setup on this list right now: deeply oversold, technically aligned on the near-term timeframes the screen prioritizes, and fundamentally validated by both analysts and last week's results. RSI is 22.9 with position in the 21-bar range at 0-13% across 4h/1d/1wk and drawdown of -32% from the 4h/1d high — this is a washout, not a chase. Kronos flags bullish_prob=1 with near_term_bullish=1, and the 1h/4h/1d forecasts all inflect positive (4h fc_mid +47.2%, fc_long +38.9%; 1d fc_mid +22.5%; 1h fc_mid +40.9%). Model score of 56 is the top actionable reading in the pool (CXAI's 131 is a mirage — bullish_prob=0, near_term=0, -446% profit margin, $8.4M microcap, weekly fc_long -58%). Fundamentals back the bounce thesis: fwdPe 14.44, PEG 0.53, ROE 19.2%, salesYoY +37.8%, recom 1.08 (strong buy), fundamental_score 8. The 8/28 headlines are constructive — Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated Overweight with a $476 PT (~62% upside from $294), and even the 'price target cut' headline still landed at $555. The Insider Monkey piece flags acquisition-driven growth, but organic is still solid and revenue just grew 46%. There's no landmine here — no guidance cut, no legal issue, no dilution. Why today vs. waiting: the 4h and 1d are pinned at the very bottom of the range (pos 0%) with RSI in the low 20s and short-horizon forecasts turning positive. That's the exact geometry where mean-reversion bounces trigger. Waiting for confirmation typically costs 5-8% in this kind of setup. The one honest caveat is the weekly forecast (fc_mid -39.5%, fc_long -53.6%) — this is a tactical bounce trade, not a hold-forever position. Manage it as such. Runners-up: BURL has an even more extreme RSI (18.01) and positive UBS/BofA catalysts but a smaller magnitude bounce forecast; NSSC has the cleanest 4-TF alignment (including weekly fc_long +3.8%) but a director sold $1.73M and market cap is only $1.26B; RCL has clean fundamentals and near_term=1 but is not as oversold. DY wins on the combination of oversold + magnitude + analyst catalyst.

Entry zone

$290-$298 (scale in; current $294 is fine, add on any dip to $288)

Stop loss

$268 (below the 4h/1d 21-bar low and gives ~9% risk)

First target

$335-$345 (roughly the 1d fc_short/mid zone, ~14-17% gain)

Longer target

$415-$450 (approaches Cantor's $476 PT and captures the 4h fc_mid/long +40-47% projection)

Risks

Weekly forecast is bearish (fc_mid -39.5%, fc_long -53.6%) — this is a bounce, not a trend-hold; must trail stops aggressively above $340
DebtEq 1.48 is elevated, and 46% revenue growth was largely acquisition-driven per Insider Monkey — a soft organic print could re-crack the chart
Sector-wide construction/engineering weakness — MTZ, STRL, AGX all showing similar drawdowns; a group-wide flush would take DY back to $270
RSI 22.9 can stay oversold longer than expected; a failure to hold $285 invalidates the bounce and targets $250
Price target was just CUT 11.4% (even though still bullish at $555) — signals sell-side momentum is softening

Honorable mentions

BURLRSI 18.01 is the most extreme oversold in the pool, pos_in_range 1-3% across 4h/1d/1wk, bullish_prob=1, near_term=0.8, and fresh UBS/BofA bullish notes on H2 market-share gains and tariff refund reinvestment. Slightly lower forecast magnitude than DY (1d fc_mid +10.1%) is the only reason it's #2.

NSSCOnly name with all 4 timeframes forecasting positive including weekly (fc_long +3.8%), bullish_prob=1, near_term=1, recom 1.0 (unanimous strong buy), debtEq 0.03, operMargin 30.5%. Smaller magnitude bounce (1d fc_mid +9.97%) and recent $1.73M director sale keep it #3.

#	Symbol	Verdict	Score	Read
1	DY	BUY NOW	8.2	Deeply oversold (RSI 22.9, pos 0%) with bullish_prob=1, 4h fc_mid +47%, and Cantor $476 PT — best combination of setup + catalyst.
2	BURL	BUY NOW	7.8	RSI 18 washout with fresh UBS/BofA bullish notes and clean bullish_prob=1 across all TFs.
3	NSSC	BUY NOW	7.4	Cleanest multi-TF alignment in pool (all 4 forecasts positive), recom 1.0, but smaller magnitude.
4	RCL	BUY NOW	7.1	pos 0-1%, near_term=1, fwdPe 13.7, ROE 45%, profit margin 23.5% — solid but less oversold.

7	NVMI	BUY PULLBACK	6.2	Strong fundamentals (28% margins) and bullish_prob=1, but weekly fc_long -54.5% is a red flag.
