Today's pick · Value (control)INTUBUY NOW9.1 / 108/4/2026

Intuit is the standout because the fundamentals-plus-tape confluence is the cleanest in this pool. On paper it passes with room to spare: fwd P/E 11.62, PEG 0.76, ROE 22.5%, profit margin 21.9%, sales YoY +15.1%, and a strong-buy-leaning recom of 1.89 with 38.7% target upside. This is a franchise software name trading at a hardware multiple after a brutal -51.9% YTD / -59% YoY drawdown, and the screen is essentially calling out the dislocation. The multi-timeframe tape confirms rather than fights the value case. 1h fc_short +3.57%, 4h fc_mid +13.62% / fc_long +17.96%, 1d fc_short +13.47% / fc_mid +44.33% / fc_long +93.06%, and 1wk fc_mid +41.30% / fc_long +74.66% — every horizon points up, and the daily and weekly forecast magnitudes are the largest in the pool for a mega-cap value name. Near-term bullish score is 1.0 and bullish_prob is 1.0. Crucially, price is NOT stretched: pos_in_21bar_range is 62.8% on the daily and just 23.7% on the weekly, with a -31.4% weekly drawdown still unrepaired — this is a base-building recovery, not a chase. News is a tailwind, not a landmine: Zacks flagged INTU as "Poised to Beat Earnings Estimates Again" (Aug 3), and the broader software tape (WDAY, ADBE, CRM, ADSK) staged a July rebound, so INTU is riding sector reflation into its own catalyst. There is no guidance cut, no regulatory overhang, no dilution — the Fundsmith trim is portfolio-manager color, not a thesis-breaker. Why today rather than wait: the 4h and 1d timeframes already flipped positive with recent_21bar_pct of +9% and +10.7%, meaning the reversal is underway but only about a third of the way back through the weekly drawdown. Waiting for a deeper pullback risks missing the earnings-driven leg given the +13.5% short-horizon 1d forecast. This is the rare setup where fundamentals, multi-TF forecasts, position-in-range, and news all agree.

Entry zone

$305–$312 (scale in around current $310; add on any dip to the rising 4h base near $295–$300)

Stop loss

$285 (below the 4h -6.89% drawdown floor and the 1h low structure; ~8% risk)

First target

$345 (retrace toward the 1wk 21-bar high area, ~+11%, aligns with 1d fc_short +13.5%)

Longer target

$395–$430 (aligns with 1d fc_mid +44% and 1wk fc_mid +41%; also implied by 38.7% analyst target upside)

Risks

Earnings/print risk — INTU is set up as a beat-and-raise, but a soft SMB/QuickBooks read could unwind the multi-TF thesis quickly given the 1wk -31.4% drawdown context
1h fc_mid is only +0.86% and fc_long -0.25%, meaning the very short-term tape is soft and entries within a couple percent of $310 can chop
Software sector rotation risk — the July rebound (WDAY/ADBE/CRM/INTU) has already run; any macro/rates shock could reverse it
YTD -51.9% and 1yr -58.98% mean sentiment is fragile; a second guidance miss would break the base at $285
Consensus recom of 1.89 is only 'buy-lean,' not the 1.0–1.4 strong-buy cluster seen on ORLA/WAY/AGI — analyst conviction is moderate

Honorable mentions

WAYRecent Zacks upgrade to Buy, 1d fc_mid +37% / fc_long +26.6%, 1wk fc_long +34.2%, position_in_range 52.5% (mid-range, not chasing), recom 1.16, and fwd P/E 12.08. Clean multi-TF alignment; only knocked below INTU by smaller ROE (3.77%) and higher pe (32.27).

MNSOBest pure value + growth combo: fwd P/E 8.04, PEG 0.17, salesYoY +30.5%, profit margin 9%, recom 1.17. All four timeframes green with 1wk fc_long +50.2% and 1d fc_long +41.2%. Slightly hotter on the tape (pos 69.5% 1d) and China-ADR discount keeps it #3.

16	ORLA	BUY PULLBACK	6.2	Peg 0.13, 1d fc_long +38.9%, but 1wk fc_long -53% and 100% of 1h range; wait for pullback post-EQX merger noise.

19	EQX	BUY PULLBACK	5.8	Merger completed with ORLA, 4h fc_long +71%, but 1wk fc_long -31.9% and 8% of weekly range signal exhaustion.

22	PFSI	WAIT	5.5	Fwd P/E 7.0 but Piper Sandler downgrade, debtEq 5.46, and 1wk forecast still negative.
23	CELH	WAIT	5.4	Q2 earnings on deck — huge 1d fc_mid +62% but pe 67 and shortFloat 21% make binary print unattractive.
24	BIRK	BUY PULLBACK	5.3	Bullish_prob 0.8, near-term 0.4, 4h/1d forecasts weak; shortFloat 20% adds volatility risk.
25	CRM	BUY PULLBACK	5.2	$1.6B VA contract positive but 1h forecast negative and pos 81.7% of daily range.
26	FUTU	WAIT	5.0	All TFs at 100% of range and DOJ probe / HK SFC asset freeze headline overhang — legal landmine outweighs forecast.
27	ADBE	WAIT	4.9	Fwd P/E 9.14 attractive but targetUpsidePct 0.6, recom 2.65, and Figma is preferred by analysts.
28	CCC	AVOID	4.6	pe 89.4, profit margin 3.8%, upside likely priced in per SWS — passes screen only on fwd P/E.
29	KKR	AVOID	4.4	bullish_prob 0.0, 1wk fc_long -11%, at 100% of weekly range — top-of-run entry.
30	FRSH	AVOID	4.2	bullish_prob 0.0, targetUpsidePct 8.5, operMargin 1.79 — weakest tape signal in pool.
