Intuit is the cleanest 'quality growth at a bombed-out price' setup in this pool. The stock has already absorbed a -58.98% one-year drawdown and sits -31.07% off its weekly 21-bar high, yet the multi-timeframe forecast tape is turning up sharply: 4h fc_mid/long of +13.0%/+17.3%, 1d fc_mid/long of +43.5%/+92.0%, and 1wk fc_mid/long of +40.5%/+73.7% — with bullish_prob=1 and near_term_bullish=1.0. Crucially, it is NOT extended: pos_in_21bar_range is 6.25% on 1h, 59% on 4h, 65% on 1d and just 24.6% on the weekly, so I'm buying into a base, not chasing a breakout. Fundamentals justify pounding the table: fwdPE 11.62, PEG 0.76, profitMargin 21.91%, ROE 22.5%, operMargin 27.47%, salesYoY 15.07%, and next-year EPS growth of 15. Analyst recom 1.89 with targetUpsidePct 38.7%. This is a market-leading SaaS franchise (TurboTax/QuickBooks/Credit Karma/Mailchimp) trading like an average industrial. Compared to peers in the pool: PDD has cheaper fundamentals but weaker forecast magnitude (1d long only +14.4%); ZTS has bigger forecast prints but just had a price target cut of -14%; FUTU is at pos_in_range=100/100/100 with negative 1wk forecasts AND a DOJ probe headline; SE is at 100/100 range and shows negative near-term forecasts. The news tape is a genuine positive catalyst rather than a landmine: 'Why Intuit is Poised to Beat Earnings Estimates Again' (Aug 3), and the broader software basket (WDAY, ADBE, INTU, ADSK, CRM) is being flagged as a July rebound trade. The Fundsmith trim is noise. Contrast with FICO (Wolfe downgrade Aug 3), KMPR (leadership exit + 'sell' article), and MNSO (downgrade to Hold + stock sinking headline) — all of which have news actively working against the setup. Why TODAY vs. waiting: the 1h recent_21bar_pct is -2.9% and pos_in_range is only 6.25%, meaning you're buying near the intraday low of the base, not chasing green candles. The 1d/1wk forecasts are pointing to 40–90%+ moves and mid/long horizon dominance means this is a swing setup, not a scalp. Waiting for another leg down risks missing the pre-earnings positioning that the tape is already sniffing out.
- Perf YTD -51.94% and Perf Year -58.98% — this is a fallen angel; if the next earnings print disappoints, sub-$290 is in play fast
- 1h forecast is only +3.0% short and -0.79% long horizon — near-term momentum is weakest timeframe, so entry timing matters
- PE 19.28 is fine but PS 4.16 and marketCap $87B mean this is not a small-cap rocket; magnitude of forecasted moves may compress in reality
- shortFloat 5.91% is moderate but Fundsmith just sold in Q2 — institutional sentiment is mixed
- Broader software sector already had a sharp July rebound (per headline); risk of a mean-reversion pullback in the group before the next leg
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | INTU | BUY NOW | 8.6 | Deep-value SaaS reset with 1d/1wk forecasts of +43/+92% and +40/+74%, pos_in_range 24% weekly, and a pre-earnings 'poised to beat' catalyst. |
| 2 | PDD | BUY NOW | 8.2 | Best pure fundamentals (PE 9.83, PEG 0.65, ROE 25.5%) with clean multi-TF forecast agreement and modest 29% 1h range position. |
| 3 | ZTS | BUY PULLBACK | 7.9 | Huge weekly forecast (+101.5% long) and only 7.7% up the weekly range, but 1h forecasts turned negative and a fresh -14% price-target cut argues for a better entry. |
| 4 | PEGA | BUY NOW | 7.6 | Multi-TF forecasts all strongly positive (4h +23/43/55, 1d +23/49/33, 1wk +22/33 mid/long), pos_in_range 31/55/73/25 — undervalued and not chased, plus special cash dividend catalyst. |
| 5 | WAY | BUY NOW | 7.4 | Fresh Zacks upgrade to Buy, recom 1.16, 1d fc_mid +37% and 1wk fc_long +34.2%, pos_in_range only 52% on 1d. |
| 6 | PODD | BUY PULLBACK | 7.2 | Strong 4h/1d/1wk forecasts (+51/+45/+48 mid) and salesYoY 31.9%, but pos_in_range 90/96/87 on shorter TFs argues for a dip entry into pre-earnings. |
| 7 | MNSO | BUY PULLBACK | 7.0 | Best PEG in pool (0.17), recom 1.17, strong multi-TF forecasts, but a recent SeekingAlpha downgrade to Hold and 'MNSO sinks' headline warrant patience. |
| 8 | TIGR | BUY PULLBACK | 6.8 | Explosive forecasts (1d fc_mid +71%, 1wk long +62.6%) and weekly pos 16.7%, but small-cap ADR risk and elevated 1h/4h range position. |
| 9 | TRMB | BUY PULLBACK | 6.6 | Solid 1d fc_long +24.6% and 4h alignment, but daily pos_in_range 100% — extended; wait for a pullback. |
| 10 | ACM | BUY PULLBACK | 6.5 | Lisbon Airport win and 1d fc_mid +29.9%, but pos_in_range 100% on 1d and grossMargin only 7.7% caps enthusiasm. |
| 11 | STN | BUY NOW | 6.3 | Recom 1.31, multi-TF forecasts positive, pos_in_range 11% on weekly leaves plenty of upside; forecast magnitude is modest though. |
| 12 | CRM | BUY PULLBACK | 6.2 | $1.6B VA contract is a real catalyst and 1wk fc_mid/long +19/+22, but 1h forecasts turned negative and pos_in_range 85% on 1d. |
| 13 | MLCO | BUY PULLBACK | 6.1 | PEG 0.35 and 1wk fc_long +44%, but pos_in_range 94/98% on shorter TFs and low-margin business (profitMargin 4.3%). |
| 14 | ADSK | BUY PULLBACK | 6.0 | ROE 50.4% and multi-TF green, but forecast magnitudes are modest (1d fc_mid only +14.8%) and pos_in_range 71% weekly. |
| 15 | NOW | BUY PULLBACK | 5.8 | $1B AI ACV milestone is a real catalyst but PE 71 and negative 1h/4h short forecasts (-12%/-11%) argue for waiting for a base. |
| 16 | FINV | BUY PULLBACK | 5.7 | PE 4.2, recom 1.0, targetUpside 46.2%, but pos_in_range 85–97% and salesYoY only 0.84% — value trap risk. |
| 17 | STEP | WAIT | 5.5 | salesYoY +69.9% and pos_in_range 100% on 1d, but weekly forecasts turned negative (-2.1/-7.5) and profitMargin -26.7%. |
| 18 | PODD_dup | WAIT | 5.4 | duplicate placeholder — ignore |
| 19 | GDDY | WAIT | 5.3 | 1h/1wk short forecasts negative and debtEq 573 — leveraged and near-term signal weak despite ROE 442%. |
| 20 | ADBE | WAIT | 5.2 | targetUpsidePct only 0.6% (essentially at price target) and pos_in_range 81% on 4h; sector already rebounded per headline. |
| 21 | SE | AVOID | 5.0 | pos_in_range 100/100 on 1d/1wk and 1h/4h short forecasts of -18.5%/-15.2% — this is a distribution top, not an entry. |
| 22 | PTC | WAIT | 4.9 | RSI 67.6, PEG 2.26, 1h/4h forecasts modest to negative — pause after Q2. |
| 23 | TME | WAIT | 4.8 | PEG 4.37, Perf Year -53.6%, insufficient forecast detail visible — bullish narrative but weak setup data. |
| 24 | LRN | WAIT | 4.7 | Earnings just reported; shortFloat 16.3% and RSI 39 — wait for reaction to settle. |
| 25 | QTWO | WAIT | 4.6 | RSI 72.16 overbought and 'growth decelerating, better bargains exist' headline — pass. |
| 26 | FIGR | WAIT | 4.5 | Two analyst price target cuts recently; bullish_prob null and no 1wk data — insufficient conviction. |
| 27 | SPRO | AVOID | 4.0 | $66M micro-cap, weekly forecasts negative, RSI 21 — falling knife despite headline forecast prints. |
| 28 | FUTU | AVOID | 3.8 | pos_in_range 100/100/100 on 1h/4h/1d, 1wk fc_long -20.8%, plus DOJ probe headline — top of range with a landmine. |
| 29 | CCC | AVOID | 3.6 | 1h fc_short -20.99% and pos_in_range 100% on weekly — 'upside already priced in' per headline. |
| 30 | KMPR | AVOID | 3.5 | 1h forecasts -19.9%/-18.5%/-21.8%, auto leadership exit, '3 reasons to sell' article — near-term tape is broken. |
| 31 | FICO | AVOID | 3.2 | Fresh Wolfe downgrade to Peer Perform, RSI 35 and 1h pos_in_range 0% — no bid, no catalyst. |
