Today's pick · Low Float Mid Cap UndervaluedMORNBUY NOW8.7 / 107/21/2026

Morningstar (MORN) is the cleanest multi-timeframe alignment in the pool and the only name where the tape confirms the fundamental screen. Near-term bullish probability is 1.0, kronos bullish_prob is 1.0, and the forecasts stack UP across every horizon that matters: 4h fc_long +12.23%, 1d fc_short/mid/long +16.02%/+19.33%/+23.89%, and 1wk fc_short/mid/long +16.19%/+37.47%/+48.13%. That is the rare case of 4h + 1d + 1wk all pointing sharply higher with escalating magnitude — exactly the setup this lens is designed to catch. Fundamentals back it up: fwdPe 12.77, PEG 0.73, ROE 30.66%, profit margin 16.06%, sales YoY +8.39%, EPS next Y +12.86%, recom 1.67, targetUpsidePct +30.6%, and fundamental_score 8 (highest in the pool). Crucially, MORN is NOT extended — perfYear -40.47% and perfYtd -20.96% mean this is a beaten-down quality compounder, and the 1wk pos_in_21bar_range is only 43.53% with a -10.7% drawdown from the 21-bar high. You're buying mid-range on the weekly, near the top of a reclaim on the daily (84.3%), which is a classic 'base breakout with room' profile rather than a chase. News flow is benign-to-positive: PitchBook won 'Best Alternative Data Provider' in Waters Technology Rankings 2026 (Jul 17), and small-cap value coverage is picking up. No guidance cut, no legal overhang, no dilution risk. Contrast with NMM, where the 1d/1wk forecasts collapse (-22% to -53%) despite screaming-cheap ratios — the tape says the shipping cycle is rolling over, so I fade the paper thesis. GPI has decent daily forecasts (+16% to +27%) but the 1wk forecast is flat-to-negative and pos_in_range on the 1h is 0.26% (falling knife on the intraday). ABG has the weakest fundamental_score (3), recom 2.57 (hold), only +7.6% upside, and Barclays just cut the PT to $225. TODAY is the entry because MORN just cleared into the upper daily range on strong daily/weekly forecasts, but the weekly is still mid-range — you're not chasing an extended move, you're front-running the mean-reversion from a -40% year while momentum turns. Waiting risks missing the gap between 1wk fc_short +16% and current price.

MORN forecast chart
Entry zone
$166.50–$169.50 (buy current $168.80 or on any intraday dip toward the 1h VWAP)
Stop loss
$159.00 (below the -2.93% daily drawdown level and ~5.8% risk)
First target
$188–$192 (aligns with 1d fc_mid +19.33% and 4h fc_long +12.23%)
Longer target
$230–$250 (1wk fc_mid/long +37% to +48%, also matches analyst targetUpsidePct 30.6%+)
Risks
  • perfYear -40.47% and perfYtd -20.96% mean the weekly downtrend is still intact — a failed reclaim could accelerate selling
  • debtEq 1.87 is elevated for a data/analytics firm; any rate-driven re-rating hurts fwdPe 12.77 multiple
  • 1h fc_short -2.46% suggests a small intraday pullback is possible before the larger move
  • PE 17.5 vs fwdPe 12.77 depends on epsNextY +12.86% — any guidance miss collapses the PEG 0.73 thesis
  • instOwn 62.88% is moderate; institutional exit risk exists if quarterly print disappoints
Honorable mentions
GPISolid fundamental_score 6.25, fwdPe 6.62, PEG 0.81, targetUpsidePct +36%, and strong 1d forecasts (+16.7% to +27.1%), but 1wk forecasts are flat/negative (-1.28% to +0.09%) and 1h pos_in_range 0.26% signals a knife catch — buy on a bounce confirmation, not today.
ABGCheapest on P/E (7.44) but weakest fundamental_score (3), Barclays cut PT to $225, recom 2.57 (hold), only +7.6% analyst upside, and 1h/4h forecasts negative — no edge.
