Today's pick · Model AlignedDYBUY NOW8.6 / 108/31/2026

Dycom (DY) is the cleanest setup in this pool: it matches the model_aligned screen, has a bullish_prob of 1.0 with near_term_bullish of 1.0, and its Kronos forecasts are the largest in magnitude among names that aren't broken. The 1h shows fc_mid +40.86% and fc_long +47.99%; the 4h shows fc_mid +47.24% and fc_long +38.91%; the 1d shows fc_short +13.24% and fc_mid +22.5%. Only the 1wk is negative (-12.86% / -39.52%), which is typical of a mean-reversion setup after a hard flush and not a disqualifier when the sub-weekly frames all agree. The entry timing is excellent. Position_in_21bar_range_pct is 13.48/0.0/0.0/0.0 across 1h/4h/1d/1wk — literally pinned to the bottom of the range on three frames — with drawdowns of -7.21% / -32.13% / -32.08% / -42.35%. RSI is 22.9, deeply oversold. This is the opposite of chasing: you're buying capitulation, not extension. Fundamentals corroborate: fund_score 8, PEG 0.53, fwdPe 14.44, recom 1.08 (strong buy), targetUpsidePct 84%, salesYoY +37.79%, ROE 19.2. This is a growth industrial trading like it's in distress. News is a net positive with one asterisk: Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated Overweight with a $476 PT (Aug 28), and Insider Monkey flagged 46% revenue growth (though ~$400M was M&A — a fair critique, not a thesis-breaker). One shop trimmed its PT by 11.4% to $555.45 — still ~89% above spot. No guidance cut, no legal issue, no dilution, no short-seller report. That's the clean-news backdrop you want when buying a -32% drawdown. Why today vs. waiting: RSI 22.9 + range position 0 + fc_short +13.24% on the 1d + near_term_bullish 1.0 means the model expects the bounce to start imminently; waiting for a lower low risks missing the pivot. BURL and RCL are close seconds but have smaller forecast magnitudes; DY offers the best asymmetry right here.

Entry zone

$290–$298 (scale in near current $294; add on any tag of $285)

Stop loss

$268 (below the 21-bar low with buffer; ~-8.8% risk)

First target

$332 (aligned with 1d fc_short +13% and gap-fill)

Longer target

$400–$425 (in line with 1h/4h fc_mid ~+40–47% and Cantor $476 PT)

Risks

1wk forecast is decidedly bearish (fc_mid -39.52%, fc_long -53.64%) — if the weekly trend reasserts before the bounce, stops will be tested
Recent revenue growth is heavily acquisition-driven (~$400M of the 46% print from M&A) — organic growth disappointment on next print could re-rate lower
Debt/Eq 1.48 and operMargin only 8.06% leaves less cushion if telecom capex customers slow orders
Drawdown is already -32% on 1d/4h — a knife-catch risk if there's an undisclosed customer/backlog issue behind the selloff
One analyst just cut PT by 11.4% (to $555) — sentiment shifts among sell-side could accelerate

Honorable mentions

BURLRSI 18.01 (most oversold in pool), position 1-3% of range, and best clean-news setup: $55M tariff refund to reinvest, UBS and BofA both positive Aug 28. 1h/4h/1d forecasts all positive (fc_mid +21.6% / +18.75% / +10.12%). Only reason it's #2: forecast magnitudes are smaller than DY and fund_score is 5.25 vs 8.

RCLFull multi-frame agreement (1h/4h/1d fc_short all positive, near_term_bullish 1.0), fund_score 8, PEG 0.97, recently refinanced $1.25B in debt. Weaker than DY because forecast magnitudes are more modest (~+11% mid) and 1wk fc_long is -41.51%.

Full ranking (12)

#	Symbol	Verdict	Score	Read
1	DY	BUY NOW	8.6	Deep oversold (RSI 22.9), pinned at range low, biggest forecast magnitudes in pool (+40–47% mid), fund_score 8, clean news.
2	BURL	BUY NOW	8.1	RSI 18 capitulation with a fresh positive catalyst ($55M tariff refund) and two big-bank upgrades; strong multi-frame agreement.
3	RCL	BUY NOW	7.4	Bullish_prob 1.0, near_term 1.0, fund_score 8, position 0% of range on 4h/1d; modest but confirmed forecasts.
4	CCL	BUY NOW	7.1	Fund_score 8, fwdPe 9.38, position 0-3% of range, 1h/4h/1d all positive; weekly negative caps upside.
5	NSSC	BUY PULLBACK	6.9	near_term_bullish 1.0, all frames positive, but position 58% on 1h means chasing intraday; director insider sale is a mild yellow flag.
6	MTZ	BUY PULLBACK	6.6	Fund_score 8, salesYoY +23.5%, 1h/4h/1d fc_mid positive, but 1wk -45% is a serious counter-signal.
7	RMBS	BUY PULLBACK	6.2	Fund_score 8, semis compounder at range bottom with +25% 1h fc_mid; weekly -27% mid tempers conviction.
8	NVMI	BUY PULLBACK	5.8	Great fundamentals (fund_score 8, 28.8% profit margin) but 1d fc_long -10% and 1wk fc_long -54% show model isn't fully convinced.
9	TPR	WAIT	5.3	Dividend hike + Coach momentum positive, but forecast magnitudes small (+13-14% mid) and 1wk fc_long -64% is a big warning.
10	JTO-USD	BUY PULLBACK	5.0	Crypto with strong 4h fc_mid +50.5% and 1d fc_long +54%, but near_term_bullish only 0.2 suggests wait for base.
11	AGX	WAIT	4.6	Bullish_prob only 0.4, sell-side calling it fully valued after 72% YoY run; weekly fc_long -85% is a red flag.
12	CXAI	AVOID	2.2	Bullish_prob 0, near_term_bullish 0, 1d fc_long -87%, micro-cap ($8.4M) with -446% profit margin — pool ranker is misleading here.
