Maximus (MMS) is the cleanest 'buy the pullback' setup in this pool. The fundamentals are dirt cheap and healthy: fwdPe 6.61, peg 0.78, pe 8.17, roe 21.11, profitMargin 7.07, debtEq 0.99, recom 1.5, and targetUpsidePct 67.3. Unlike most of the pool, you are NOT chasing — 1d pos_in_21bar_range_pct is 0.37 and 1wk is 5.61, with drawdowns of -12.63% and -19.57% respectively. That is the deep-value zone the screen was designed to catch. The forecast tape confirms without being an extreme single-bar spike: 1d fc_short +12.11%, fc_mid +41.69%, fc_long +26.01%; 1wk fc_short +9.35%, fc_mid +36.96%, fc_long +41.07%; 4h fc_short +29.89%, fc_mid +41.26%, fc_long +49.21%. That is genuine multi-timeframe agreement across 4h/1d/1wk on the medium/long horizon, with bullish_prob 1.0 and near_term_bullish 1.0. Expected_return_pct 40.28 aligns with those forecasts, so this is not one horizon carrying the average. News is a green light rather than a landmine: Q2 (Aug 8) earnings call highlights were reported without a guidance cut or negative surprise, and Chartmill highlighted MMS as a sustainable dividend for quality investors. Compare that to the alternatives — ADMA missed Q2, ORCL/INTU/PDD/WAY are all pinned at 100% of range, NRG/VST show materially negative weekly forecasts, ORLA has a -52% weekly forecast after the Equinox merger, and HDB was just removed from Jefferies' portfolio. MMS is the rare combination of cheap-on-paper AND washed-out-on-tape AND positive-forecast, which is exactly what 'undervalued_emerging' should deliver. Today is the entry because the daily pos_in_range is essentially at floor (0.37), yet 4h has already begun to inflect (fc_short +29.89% off a -6.85% dd) — waiting risks missing the bounce, while the 20% weekly drawdown gives you a defined-risk stop below recent lows. You are being paid ~2:1 to ~4:1 to lean in now.
- Government-services concentration: salesYoY is -3.32% and epsNextY only 4.37%, so any federal contract renewal noise could re-test the low
- operMargin only 10.85% and grossMargin 24% — thin cushion if labor costs re-accelerate
- shortFloat 6.10% and instOwn 111.54% (heavily owned) means forced selling on any miss can be violent
- Small cap ($2.9B) with rsi 39.25 — momentum is not yet confirmed; a lower low would invalidate the 4h fc_short +29.89% forecast
- Sector rotation risk: peers like ICFI already jumped 17.4% in a week, meaning fast money may have front-run the trade
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MMS | BUY NOW | 8.6 | Cheap (fwdPe 6.61) and washed-out (1d pos 0.37) with 1wk fc_mid +36.96% and clean post-earnings news — textbook undervalued_emerging setup. |
| 2 | FIS | BUY NOW | 8.2 | fwdPe 6.33, 1wk fc_long +67.60%, 1d pos 27.47 after -10.49% dd; Cantor keeps Overweight. |
| 3 | MNSO | BUY NOW | 7.9 | peg 0.16, recom 1.17, 1wk fc_long +54.29%, near_term_bullish 1.0 — cheapest quality name in the pool. |
| 4 | HDB | BUY NOW | 7.6 | 1d pos 10.03 with fc_mid +31.76%/fc_long +40.17%; only knock is Jefferies removing it from model portfolio. |
| 5 | BILI | BUY NOW | 7.3 | 1d pos 58.65, fc_mid +37.65%, near_term_bullish 1.0; fwdPe 14.22, peg 0.55. |
| 6 | PFSI | BUY NOW | 7.1 | 1d pos 3.86 after -12.64% dd, 4h fc_long +65.11%, epsNextY +102.69% — offset by PT cut to $96.90. |
| 7 | INTU | BUY PULLBACK | 6.9 | Powerful 1d fc_long +77.18% but sitting at 100% of range across 1h/4h/1d — chase risk. |
| 8 | STEP | BUY NOW | 6.7 | 1d pos 57.08, 4h fc_mid +27.99%, revenue surge post-Q2; ignore negative roe (private-markets acctg noise). |
| 9 | CSV | BUY PULLBACK | 6.6 | 1d pos 0.00 with 1d fc_mid +28.31%, but Q2 missed both lines — need confirmation. |
| 10 | WMG | BUY PULLBACK | 6.5 | peg 0.33, roe 92.17, positive Q3 commentary; 1d pos 31.95, but forecasts modest (fc_mid +10.99%). |
| 11 | TMUS | BUY PULLBACK | 6.4 | 1d pos 30.06, fc_mid +12.81%; Starlink competitive noise capped by CEO pushback. |
| 12 | MLCO | BUY PULLBACK | 6.3 | peg 0.35 and 1wk fc_long +46.40%, but near_term_bullish only 0.4 — wait for 4h confirmation. |
| 13 | LOPE | BUY PULLBACK | 6.2 | recom 1.00 (strong buy consensus), 1d pos 43.29, but forecast magnitudes modest (fc_long +13.48%). |
| 14 | TRMB | BUY PULLBACK | 6.1 | near_term_bullish 1.0 but 1d pos 85.89 — already in the top decile ahead of earnings. |
| 15 | WAY | BUY PULLBACK | 5.9 | Post-earnings upgrade and PT raise, but 1d pos 100 and 1wk fc_mid -1.09 says buy on retrace. |
| 16 | STN | BUY PULLBACK | 5.8 | 1d pos 100 caps upside; 1wk fc_short -2.11 shows tape wobble at the highs. |
| 17 | BIRK | WAIT | 5.6 | shortFloat 20.24 plus a board-member exit — thesis intact but needs to base. |
| 18 | KKR | WAIT | 5.4 | 1wk pos 100 with fc_mid -9.01 and fc_long -8.22; Nvidia AI-financing halo already priced in. |
| 19 | FUTU | WAIT | 5.3 | Great fundamentals (pe 11.94, roe 28.14) but 1wk fc_short/mid/long all negative and HK SFC freeze headline lingers. |
| 20 | PDD | WAIT | 5.1 | 1d pos 91.39 and Seeking Alpha regulatory-risk piece — cheap but chasing. |
| 21 | ADMA | WAIT | 5.0 | Q2 miss plus 1d pos 97.88 and 1wk fc_long -6.38 — screen-perfect but tape rolling over. |
| 22 | DCBO | WAIT | 4.9 | bullish_prob 0.0, 4h/1h forecasts negative despite roe 195; skip until 1d confirms. |
| 23 | ORCL | WAIT | 4.7 | 1wk fc_short -12.53/fc_mid -14.63 and pinned at 99.97 of 4h range — parabolic exhaustion risk. |
| 24 | ORLA | WAIT | 4.5 | peg 0.14 looks amazing but 1wk fc_long -52.11 post Equinox merger — structural overhang. |
| 25 | ACM | AVOID | 4.3 | Just reported Q3 loss and lowered FY26 guidance — thesis broken regardless of screen. |
| 26 | FINV | AVOID | 4.2 | Seeking Alpha rating downgrade citing regulatory pressure directly undercuts the pe 4 story. |
| 27 | NRG | AVOID | 3.6 | 1wk fc_long -33.26 with shares 'crashing' this week — deteriorating trend. |
| 28 | VST | AVOID | 3.5 | 1wk fc_mid -41.88/fc_long -59.87 and salesYoY -25.99 — screen number lies about the trend. |
| 29 | FRSH | AVOID | 3.4 | bullish_prob 0, 4h fc_mid -27.72; post-guidance-raise pop already faded. |
| 30 | VERX | AVOID | 2.8 | pe 564.42, operMargin 1.08, profitMargin 0.45 — 'undervalued' label is a fiction here. |
