Today's pick · Low Float Mid Cap UndervaluedMORNBUY NOW7.4 / 107/29/2026

Morningstar (MORN) is the only name in this pool where the forecast tape actually confirms the fundamental screen. On the daily it prints fc_short -1.35%, fc_mid +6.48%, fc_long +9.34%, and the weekly stacks even better at fc_short +0.83%, fc_mid +16.0%, fc_long +24.68% — a clean upward-sloping term structure. Bullish probability is a full 1.0, and the fundamentals are the highest-quality of the three: ROE 30.66%, profit margin 16.06%, operating margin 22.52%, sales growth +8.39%, EPS next year 12.87, fwd P/E 14.43, PEG 0.83, and analyst recom 1.67 with 16.4% target upside. Fundamental score 7.25 backs that up. The honest catch is that MORN sits at 100% of its 21-bar daily/weekly range with zero drawdown and RSI 69.7 — this is not a pullback entry, it's a breakout entry. The short-horizon 1h/4h forecasts are mildly negative (-3.4% to -9.1%), which is exactly what you'd expect from a name that just ran. But the mid/long weekly forecast (+24.68%) dwarfs that near-term chop, and the YTD is still -10.67% with a -31.3% one-year, meaning the tape is recovering from a real drawdown, not extending a parabolic move. Both alternatives are broken on the tape. NMM has a fundamental_score 7.75 and PEG 0.20 but bullish_prob is 0 and every single timeframe forecast is deeply red — 1wk fc_long -55.77%, 1d fc_long -26.73%, sitting at 100% of range after a +84.79% one-year run. Classic ‘cheap for a reason, tape says top.’ GPI has decent daily forecasts (+9.63% long) but the weekly rolls over to -12.96% long, profit margin is only 1.43%, and the Ford recall headline is a direct negative for a dealership group. News-wise MORN is clean: a CRSP-to-Morningstar index rebrand (a positive brand/franchise catalyst), Q2 earnings preview coverage, and a Bloomberg value-investing tailwind piece. No landmines. TODAY is the entry because the weekly forecast is accelerating (+16% mid → +24.68% long), earnings is a near-term catalyst, and waiting for a pullback risks missing the move if Q2 prints in line with the +8.4% sales trend.

MORN forecast chart
Entry zone
$191–$194 (current $194.12; scale in, add on any dip to $188 which is ~-3% and near the 1h fc_short target)
Stop loss
$179 (roughly -7.8%, below the recent breakout base and pre-earnings support)
First target
$212 (+9.3%, aligns with 1d fc_long)
Longer target
$242 (+24.7%, aligns with 1wk fc_long over swing horizon)
Risks
  • Position at 100% of 21-bar range on both daily and weekly with RSI 69.71 — elevated chase risk; 1h fc_long is -16.77% signaling near-term mean reversion
  • Q2 earnings imminent — a miss vs. the 8.39% sales YoY trend could trigger a sharp gap down given the extended tape
  • Debt/Equity 1.87 is on the high side; any rate-driven multiple compression hurts a fwdPe 14.43 data/analytics name
  • Perf 1-year -31.3% shows the stock can trend down hard when sentiment turns; recovery rally could stall
  • Broader market headline flow shows Q2 misses punishing stocks (Vertiv -10.4%) — earnings risk is elevated tape-wide
Honorable mentions
GPICheapest on fwd P/E (7.59) with PEG 0.93 and 80% bullish probability; daily forecast turns positive (+9.63% long) but weekly rolls over to -12.96% and Ford recall headlines are a direct dealership overhang. Would need a pullback from 100% of daily range.
NMMBest paper fundamentals (PEG 0.20, fwd P/E 4.49, profit margin 24.52%, recom 1.00) but the tape is broken — bullish_prob 0, every timeframe forecast negative, weekly fc_long -55.77% after +84.79% one-year run. Screen says buy, tape says avoid.
