Intuit is the cleanest 'buy the dip' setup in this pool: it passed the strict screen (recom 1.89, RSI 59.93, ~$87B cap), the fundamentals are actually cheap for a franchise software name (fwdPe 11.62, PEG 0.76, ROE 22.5, profitMargin 21.91%, salesYoY 15.07%), and it's coming off a brutal −51.94% YTD / −58.98% one-year drawdown — you're not chasing strength, you're buying capitulation in a category leader with 38.7% target upside. The forecast tape is where INTU separates from the field. Near-term bullish reads a perfect 1.0 (highest tier in the set), and the multi-timeframe forecasts stack: 4h fc_long +17.97%, 1d fc_short +13.48% / fc_mid +44.35% / fc_long +93.08%, and 1wk fc_short +5.08% / fc_mid +41.32% / fc_long +74.68%. Critically, position_in_21bar_range is NOT extended — 1h at 0%, 1d at 62.77%, 1wk at only 23.69% with a −31.45% drawdown from the 1wk high. That's the exact profile we want: mid/long horizon strongly bullish, entry at the lower half of the recent range, no evidence of chasing. Today's timing is favored by an earnings catalyst — an Aug 3 Zacks note flags INTU as 'Poised to Beat Earnings Estimates Again.' Compared to peer picks: PODD/PDD/WAY are sitting at 87–100% of their 1h/4h ranges (chase risk); FUTU is disqualified as a #1 by a Jul 3 DOJ probe / class-action headline that materially undercuts the thesis; ZTS has a compelling Burry angle and huge 1wk fc_long (+101.51%), but its 1h forecasts turn negative (fc_mid −15.77%, fc_long −12.53%) and its price target was just cut 14.15%. INTU offers the best combination: strongest set of fundamentals in the top tier, a positive near-term catalyst, MTF forecasts that don't diverge, position on the lower half of the range, and a name that's already been de-risked by a 50%+ drawdown. That's the trifecta this lens is designed to find.
- Earnings binary: with an earnings-beat setup priced in, a guidance miss could crush the stock 10–15% given the −58.98% one-year drop already signals weak sentiment
- 1h forecast fc_long is slightly negative (−0.24%), indicating short-term chop risk before the mid-horizon move plays out
- Elevated fwdPe cushion is thin if AI-tax competition (TurboTax, Credit Karma pressure) narrative resurfaces — salesYoY is 15% but decelerating history is a risk
- recom 1.89 is the weakest analyst score among the top-5 screen-passers (PODD 1.54, MNSO 1.17, WAY 1.16)
- Broader tape: PLTR-driven risk-on could reverse; INTU has beta and would sell off with software group on any macro shock
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | INTU | BUY NOW | 9.0 | Deep drawdown + near-term bullish 1.0 + 1d/1wk forecasts +74–93% with entry near lower half of range. |
| 2 | ZTS | BUY NOW | 8.6 | 1wk pos 7.7% (max washout) with fc_long +101.51% and Burry catalyst; 1h wobble is a modest offset. |
| 3 | MNSO | BUY NOW | 8.4 | PEG 0.17, recom 1.17, all four TFs positive with 1wk fc_long +50.2% — cheap deep-value growth. |
| 4 | PODD | BUY PULLBACK | 8.2 | Strong screen and 1d fc_long +57.69%, but stretched at 90–96% of 1h/4h range; wait for a dip. |
| 5 | WAY | BUY NOW | 8.0 | Fresh Zacks upgrade to Buy, recom 1.16, and 1wk fc_long +34.19%; mid-range positioning is clean. |
| 6 | TRMB | BUY NOW | 7.7 | 1d/4h forecasts stacking positive with 1d pos still 95%; small chase risk offset by earnings tailwind. |
| 7 | PDD | BUY PULLBACK | 7.6 | fwdPe 7.28, PEG 0.65, but RSI 63.3 near ceiling of screen and 1h forecast only +12.9%. |
| 8 | PEGA | BUY PULLBACK | 7.4 | 1wk fc_long +32.9% off a −28% drawdown, but recom 1.93 and short float 17.79% add risk. |
| 9 | ADSK | BUY NOW | 7.3 | 1wk pos 68% with fc_long +16.11%; solid ROE 50.4, but 1h at bottom limits immediate conviction. |
| 10 | TMDX | BUY PULLBACK | 7.2 | Highest 1h forecast strength (+22.8%) but 1wk fc_short/mid turn negative; wait for cleaner setup. |
| 11 | STN | BUY NOW | 7.1 | recom 1.31, 1d fc_long +34.83%, and 1wk pos only 11.36% — classic value dip. |
| 12 | ACM | BUY PULLBACK | 7.0 | Portugal airport catalyst plus 1d fc_mid +29.93%, but 1d already at 100% of range. |
| 13 | CRM | BUY NOW | 6.8 | $1.6B VA contract news, 1d fc_long +22.87%, and MTF stack; a workable core-tech add. |
| 14 | MMS | BUY PULLBACK | 6.7 | Cheap (fwdPe 6.86) with near-term bullish 1.0, but 1h forecasts negative and 1d at 100% of range. |
| 15 | ACN | BUY PULLBACK | 6.6 | 1wk fc_long +94.45% is huge but targetUpsidePct only 5.8% — model/analyst disagreement. |
| 16 | TYL | BUY PULLBACK | 6.4 | 1d fc_long +37.11% and 1wk pos 33%, but recent SeekingAlpha rating downgrade dampens conviction. |
| 17 | STEP | BUY PULLBACK | 6.3 | PE negative and operMargin −45.64%; forecasts decent but fundamentals too shaky. |
| 18 | MLCO | BUY PULLBACK | 6.2 | PEG 0.35 and 1wk fc_long +44.08%, but $2.17B cap is smallest and 1h at 94% of range. |
| 19 | FIGR | WAIT | 6.1 | bullish_prob null, 1d fc_mid +31.81% mixed with recent PT cuts from KBW ($45) and Piper ($65). |
| 20 | CCC | BUY PULLBACK | 5.9 | Q2 outperformance and 1wk fc_long +55.28%, but 1h/4h forecasts turn negative and pe 89.36. |
| 21 | NOW | WAIT | 5.8 | 1h/4h forecasts sharply negative (−11 to −12%), layoffs headline mixed — wait for stabilization. |
| 22 | BR | WAIT | 5.7 | 1h fc_long −20.74% ahead of earnings tomorrow; binary risk, no edge in taking it here. |
| 23 | TME | WAIT | 5.6 | Big 1d fc_long +75.91% but 1h forecasts all negative; conflicting signals. |
| 24 | AUGO | WAIT | 5.5 | Only +YTD name (+12.29%) and perfYear +132.77%, but expected_return only 18.8% — mean-reversion risk. |
| 25 | VRSK | WAIT | 5.4 | 1h/4h forecasts negative and recom 1.96 weakest tier; 1wk fc_long +12.09% not enough alpha. |
| 26 | SE | WAIT | 5.2 | 1wk pos 100% and 1h fc_long −18.54% — extended and near-term bearish, worst chase risk. |
| 27 | NICE | WAIT | 5.1 | Low targetUpside 21% and no strong TF forecast; unremarkable setup. |
| 28 | DSGX | WAIT | 5.0 | 1h/4h forecasts negative and ps 8.71 rich; wait for reset. |
| 29 | FRMI | WAIT | 4.6 | No fundamentals, no bullish_prob, recent PT cut to $11 — speculative only. |
| 30 | FUTU | AVOID | 4.5 | Strong screen, but Jul 3 DOJ probe + US class actions is a landmine; 1wk fc_long −20.85% confirms concern. |
