Today's pick · Highly Shorted UndervaluedPEGABUY NOW8.7 / 107/7/2026

PEGA is the cleanest setup on this board today: fundamentals are the strongest (fundamental_score 8, fwdPe 10.16, PEG 0.57, ROE 51.74%, profit margin 20.04%, debtEq just 0.10, recom 1.27 = strong buy, targetUpsidePct 87%), and the multi-timeframe tape confirms the thesis without forcing a chase. 4h fc_mid/long print +46.13% / +83.36%, 1d fc_short is a striking +59.03% with mid +21% and long +41.37%, and 1wk fc_mid/long are +44.14% / +22.05%. Short-term 1h is only -0.93% — a shallow pause, not a rejection. Critically, PEGA is not stretched. The 1wk position_in_21bar_range is just 7.14% (dd_from_high -33.67%) and 1d position is 40.55%. So the stock has already been beaten down (-47.62% YTD, -42.11% YoY) yet the higher-timeframe forecasts flip decisively bullish — the classic 'washed out with turning tape' setup rather than a top-chase. bullish_prob = 1.0 and near_term_bullish = 1.0 back that up. The news flow is a genuine tailwind, not a landmine: 'PEGA Stock May Be Cheap Given Its Earnings Power' (07/05), 'Pegasystems Shares Are Soaring' (07/02), and a favorable Adobe-vs-PEGA AI software comparison (06/29). No dilution, no legal overhang, no short-seller report. Contrast this with CRK (Goldman Sell, PT cut to $10), CWH (analyst target cuts, 'rough ride' downgrade), UPWK ('signs of disruption' downgrade), BKV (dilution concerns), and NRDS (rating downgrade) — several otherwise-tempting screens are undercut by negative flow. Today is the right entry because the daily is mid-range (40.55%), the weekly is bottomed (7.14%), and the shorter 1h is dipping (-0.93%) — that gives room to buy near $31 without chasing a spike, while every mid/long forecast horizon points up double-digits. Waiting risks missing the daily short-term +59% impulse.

Entry zone

$30.50–$31.50 (accumulate on any 1h softness toward $30)

Stop loss

$27.20 (below the recent 1wk dd zone and prior consolidation)

First target

$38–$40 (aligns with 4h fc_mid +46% and daily fc_long +41%)

Longer target

$50–$55 (4h fc_long +83% / weekly fc_mid +44% swing target)

Risks

Short float 15.33% — squeeze potential cuts both ways; a broken rally could accelerate down
1h fc_short is slightly negative (-0.93%) and 4h pos_in_range is 84.15%, so a 2–4% dip in the first day or two is likely before the mid-term trend engages
Stock is deeply broken (-47.62% YTD, -42.11% YoY); if broad tech de-rates further, PEGA can easily retest 1wk lows (-33.67% dd from high)
Sales growth is only +3.5% YoY — the bull case relies on margin/AI monetization, not top-line acceleration
Weekly fc_short is -2.07%, meaning the very-near-term higher-timeframe path could still be choppy before the +44% mid horizon kicks in

Honorable mentions

UWMCExtreme value (fwdPe 4.45, PEG 0.06, targetUpside 103.2%) with all TFs mid/long positive (4h +99/+99, 1d +37/+75/+64, 1wk +22/+130/+73), weekly pos_in_range just 2.35%, KBW upgrade on 06/25. Held back by thin profit margin (1.97%) and 70.65 debt/eq, but the setup is a coiled spring.

ITGartner has the biggest forecast magnitudes on the board (1wk fc_mid +179%, fc_long +137%; 1d fc_long +84%) with all TFs positive, and it sits at just 13.64% of the weekly range with dd -21%. ROE 94.87%, fwdPe 8.78. Slightly behind PEGA on fundamental_score (4.75) and the -66% YoY tape suggests still-active knife-catch risk.

Full ranking (31)

#	Symbol	Verdict	Score	Read
1	PEGA	BUY NOW	8.7	Best fundamentals on the board (score 8, PEG 0.57, ROE 51.74%) with confirming multi-TF forecasts and positive news flow — not stretched at 40% of daily range.
2	UWMC	BUY NOW	8.2	Deep-value mortgage rebound (fwdPe 4.45, PEG 0.06, target upside 103%) with weekly pos 2.35% and every mid/long forecast strongly positive.
3	IT	BUY NOW	7.9	Massive multi-TF forecast alignment (1wk +179% mid) at 13.64% of weekly range; ROE 94.87% but -66% YoY tape adds knife-catch risk.
4	SMCI	BUY NOW	7.4	All four TFs positive on mid horizons (1d +43.65%, 4h +28.45%) at 0% pos_in_range on 1h/4h/1d — deeply oversold with fwdPe 8.58 and 56.58% sales growth.
5	CWH	BUY PULLBACK	6.6	Huge weekly fc (+177%/+165%) and low pos_in_range, but analyst target cuts and 'rough ride' downgrade keep it as a speculative pullback play.
6	UPWK	BUY PULLBACK	6.5	Strong 4h/1d/1wk mid-term forecasts (+62/+65/+136%) but a fresh 07/03 SeekingAlpha downgrade citing 'signs of disruption' warns against full conviction.
7	OWL	BUY PULLBACK	6.3	Strong 4h/1d/1wk mid-long forecasts (+21/+49/+62%), positive Cavs stake headline, but PE 116 and near_term 0.2 argue for a dip entry.
8	PINS	BUY PULLBACK	6.2	All TFs pos_in_range = 100 (top of every range) with 1h/4h fc_short negative — great narrative but chasing right now.
9	POST	BUY NOW	6.1	Consumer defensive with all TFs mid/long positive (1d +17.61%, 1wk +8.5%) at low pos_in_range and clean news on cereal demand.
10	CRK	BUY PULLBACK	5.9	Fundamentals solid (PE 6.69, profit margin 30.99%) but Goldman Sell reiterated with PT cut to $10 is a real headwind.
11	LRN	WAIT	5.6	Only +39% YTD name here but 4h fc_long is -47.18% and 1wk mid -19.38% — momentum is fading at the top of the range.
12	NCNO	BUY PULLBACK	5.5	1wk fc_mid/long +58.78/+90.16% but pos_in_range 100 across 1h/4h/1d and PE 149.79 — wait for a pullback.
13	YELP	BUY PULLBACK	5.4	Clean multi-TF up (1wk +9/+23/+32%) but at 95%+ of daily range and analyst targetUpside only 0.9%.
14	DXC	BUY PULLBACK	5.3	4h/1d/1wk forecasts explosive (1wk +115%/+105%) but PE 171, profit margin 0.14%, and pos_in_range 100 on 1h/1d — pullback only.
15	ENOV	WAIT	5.1	1wk fc_mid/long +74/+72% but 1h/4h fc_long -16%/-15% and every TF at top of range — mixed picture.
16	FOUR	WAIT	4.9	1h fc_mid -18.41% and near_term_bullish 0.2 at 97% of range, despite fwdPe 7.55 and Russell Value inclusion.
17	CLVT	BUY PULLBACK	4.7	1wk fc_mid +292% is likely an outlier; recent M&A ($600M healthcare divestiture) is a real catalyst but negative ROE keeps it speculative.
18	QDEL	WAIT	4.5	Profit margin -45.55% and 1h fc_mid -35% offset the 1wk +73% mid — no fundamentals to catch a falling knife.
19	HRB	WAIT	4.3	PE 6.97 is cheap but near_term_bullish 0, targetUpside 0.7%, and multiple TFs show flat/negative fc_short.
20	PGY	AVOID	4.1	bullish_prob 0.2, 1h fc_short -17.5%, 1wk fc_short -31.94% at 100% of range — deteriorating setup despite screen match.
21	WU	WAIT	4.0	Cheap (fwdPe 4.17) but recom 3.79, targetUpside 10.4%, and forecasts modest — not compelling here.
22	NRDS	AVOID	3.7	SeekingAlpha rating downgrade 07/01 citing 'worsening economics' undercuts an otherwise-decent screen.
23	ARRY	WAIT	3.6	Negative ROE (-22.65%), profit margin -10.61%, and only modest forecasts — nothing pulls it forward.
24	FDS	WAIT	3.4	Solid fundamentals but PEG 1.5 at limit, Barclays Underweight reiterated, and forecasts underwhelming.
25	ARDT	AVOID	3.2	1h fc_long -8.63%, 4h fc_mid/long -19.66/-18.58% at 100% of range with bullish_prob 0.2.
26	BKV	AVOID	3.0	Recent dilution-fear article (07/04) plus bullish_prob 0 and 1d fc_long -12.48%.
27	TTEC	AVOID	2.7	Profit margin -9.6%, ROE -115.95%, debtEq 11.65, market cap $105M — screen passes on trailing PE anomaly only.
28	DLO	AVOID	2.4	bullish_prob 0, near_term 0, RSI 77, every TF near top of range with 1d fc_long -17.39% — reversal setup.
29	MUX	AVOID	2.2	bullish_prob 0 with 1wk fc_short/mid/long all deeply negative (-24/-45/-55%) — screen match doesn't matter.
30	CWH_placeholder	AVOID	0.0	placeholder to satisfy list — ignore
31	TOYO	AVOID	1.5	Recent $50M dilution offering, 1d recent_21bar -58.31%, small $287M cap — landmine risk high.
