Today's pick · Low Float Mid Cap UndervaluedMORNBUY NOW7.8 / 107/17/2026

Morningstar (MORN) is the cleanest setup on the board today. The daily and weekly forecasts show strong, aligned upside: 1d fc_short +7.25%, fc_mid +15.89%, fc_long +16.22%, and 1wk fc_short +8.27%, fc_mid +29.95%, fc_long +46.12%. Bullish probability is 1.0, near-term bullish is 1.0, and analyst recom is 1.67 with a 30.7% target upside. That's the rare configuration where the tape, the model probability, and the sell-side all agree. Fundamentals justify the screen: fwdPe 12.93, PEG 0.74, ROE 30.66%, profit margin 16.06%, sales YoY +8.39%, and EPS next year growth 12.87%. The stock has been punished (-39.98% perfYear, -19.98% YTD) which explains why a quality compounder at 30%+ ROE is trading at a sub-13x forward multiple — that's the setup thesis. Fundamental_score of 8 is the highest in the pool. The main knock is the 1h/4h horizon looks stretched: 1d and 4h pos_in_21bar_range_pct = 100 and short-term forecasts on 1h/4h are slightly negative (-5% and -2.86%). That argues for scaling in rather than a full-size market order — but the weekly is only at 57.77% of range with -8% drawdown from the 21-bar high, so the swing entry is NOT extended. NMM's daily/weekly forecast is deeply negative (-26% to -53% long-horizon) despite good fundamentals and insider buying, which disqualifies it as a buy today. GPI's weekly forecast is negative (-7% to -9%) and three analysts just cut price targets last week, undercutting the paper thesis. Today is the right entry because the daily/weekly signals are constructive and MORN is coming off a beaten-down base (weekly 21-bar -4.48%, -8% from high), not chasing an extension. Waiting risks missing the reversion — but given the hot 1h tape, use a staged entry.

MORN forecast chart
Entry zone
Scale in: 1/2 position at $173-176 today, add 1/2 on any pullback to $167-170 (near weekly midpoint)
Stop loss
$159 (below the weekly -8% drawdown zone; ~9% risk from $175)
First target
$189-192 (roughly +8% aligned with 1wk fc_short and 1d fc_short)
Longer target
$225-235 (aligned with 1wk fc_mid +29.95% and analyst target upside +30.7%)
Risks
  • 1h and 4h pos_in_21bar_range at 100% with short-term forecasts of -5% and -2.86% — near-term pullback likely
  • perfYear -39.98% shows this is a falling knife tape; sentiment could stay negative if next earnings disappoints
  • debtEq 1.87 is elevated for a data/analytics firm, adds rate sensitivity
  • Float ≤ 20M means low liquidity — expect wider spreads and gap risk on any news
  • Weekly fc_long of +46% is aggressive; if broader small/mid-cap tape rolls over (per Yahoo 'Small-Caps Offer Rare Value' framing), model magnitude may not fully realize
Honorable mentions
GPIScreens cheap (fwdPe 7.16, PEG 0.87) with bullish daily forecast (+17.28% mid) and strong analyst recom 1.6, but weekly forecast is negative (-7% to -9%), 1h is pinned at 100% of range, and three brokers just cut price targets July 10-15. Wait for pullback to $300 area.
NMMBest pure valuation (fwdPe 4.39, PEG 0.20, profit margin 24.52%) with multiple insider buys July 10, but the multi-timeframe forecast is decisively bearish: 1d fc_long -26.79%, 1wk fc_long -53.28%, bullish_prob 0. Tape says avoid despite the paper appeal.
