Today's pick · Low Float Mid Cap UndervaluedGPIBUY NOW8.4 / 108/6/2026

Group 1 Automotive (GPI) is the standout buy today because it's the only candidate where a compelling fundamental setup lines up with a bombed-out tape and a bullish forecast. Fundamentally, GPI is the cheapest name in the pool on forward earnings (fwdPe 6.17, PEG 0.75), analyst recom is a supportive 1.87, institutional ownership is 99.09%, and the target upside is the largest in the group at +39.7%. It has been beaten down hard (perfYtd -29.42%, perfYear -33.91%), which is exactly the kind of undervaluation the screen is designed to surface — you are not chasing a top here. The tape confirms that view. GPI's near_term_bullish is 1.0 and bullish_prob is 1.0 — the only candidate with both maxed. Position in the 21-bar range is 4.23% on the daily and 0% on the weekly, with drawdown -21.5% (1d) and -21.33% (1wk). That's the definition of 'not at the top of the range.' Forecasts are strongly positive and accelerating across horizons: 4h fc_short/mid/long = +20.95% / +26.45% / +30.42%; daily = +12.85% / +35.15% / +37.95%; weekly = -0.78% / +4.14% / +7.85%. Multi-timeframe agreement is unusually clean — every horizon beyond the immediate week is up, with mid/long magnitudes among the biggest in the pool. Headlines are a mild net negative (JPM lowered PT to $275, Evercore trimmed to $360 but kept Outperform) — but crucially, no guidance cut, no legal issue, no dilution. The PT cuts are already priced in given the -33% year and the RSI of 37.85. Compare that to MORN, which has the best forecast-vs-fundamentals combo on paper but is pinned at pos_in_21bar_range 100% across all timeframes with dd 0% — that's chasing an extended name whose own 4h/1d forecasts are negative. NMM has great fundamentals (fwdPe 4.44, PEG 0.20) but forecasts are catastrophically bearish (-42% to -52% on the weekly). SAH's tape is broken (-24% to -35% mid/long forecasts) and JPM just cut it to $72 Underweight. ABG is middling on everything. TODAY is the right entry because GPI is sitting near the bottom of its 21-bar range with RSI 37.85 (oversold), a fresh earnings print behind it, analyst PT cuts absorbed, and a forecast pointing to +35% on the mid horizon. Waiting risks missing the mean-reversion off this washout low.

GPI forecast chart
Entry zone
$278–$284 (scale in near current $281, add on any dip to $275)
Stop loss
$262 (below the recent 21-bar low, ~6.8% risk)
First target
$318 (13% move, aligned with 4h fc_short +20.95% partial and prior consolidation)
Longer target
$375–$385 (aligned with daily fc_mid/long +35% to +38% and Evercore's $360 PT)
Risks
  • Auto retail cyclical exposure — sector-wide guidance risk if consumer weakens further; profit margin is thin at 1.29%
  • JP Morgan Neutral PT cut to $275 on 8/4 sits right at current price and could cap near-term upside
  • Weekly fc_short is -0.78% and recent_21bar_pct is -11.57%, meaning the very-near-term tape is still soft before the projected bounce
  • Debt/Equity 1.96 is elevated — sensitive to rate moves and floorplan financing costs
  • SalesYoY only +0.81% — the growth case rests on margin recovery and multiple re-rating, not top-line acceleration
Honorable mentions
MORNBest fundamentals in the pool (roe 31.96, profitMargin 16.43, fundamental_score 7.25) and weekly forecast is bullish (+14% mid, +24% long), but pos_in_21bar_range is pinned at 100% across all timeframes with 0% drawdown and RSI 68.19 — buy the pullback, not the breakout.
ABGCleanest headline setup (Fintel PT raised +15.93% to $264.72, Citi raised to $250) and reasonable valuation (fwdPe 7.25), but forecasts are muted (+4.88% long on 4h, -0.34% long on 1d) and near_term_bullish is 0.
