Today's pick · Undervalued OversoldPOSTBUY NOW7.8 / 108/10/2026

Post Holdings (POST) is the cleanest 'screen-thesis-with-tape-confirmation' name in this pool right now. Fundamentals are solid across the board: fwdPe 9.95, PEG 1.42, PE 14.45, profit margin 3.48%, ROE 8.29%, salesYoY 6.2%, recom 1.67 (near strong buy), and targetUpsidePct 41.1%. Unlike most 'RSI ≤ 35' names, POST is a real cash-generative consumer defensive with operMargin 10.16% — not a distressed micro-cap dressed up by a low fwd P/E. The tape lines up on every timeframe, which is the rarest thing in this list. 4h fc: +27.06 / +27.84 / +26.26; 1d fc: +22.95 / +30.20 / +29.88; 1wk fc: +6.79 / +16.56 / +20.41. Every single forecast bar across every timeframe is green — that is genuine multi-timeframe agreement, not one outlier bar carrying the story. Kronos bullish_prob is 1 and near_term_bullish is 1. Entry timing is favorable rather than chasing. Price 78.95 sits at pos_in_21bar_range 0–1.4% across 4h/1d/1wk, with drawdowns of −14.9% / −19.05% / −23.83% from the 21-bar high. RSI 31.38 confirms the oversold setup. That is 'buy the flush,' not 'chase the breakout.' Headline check: Q3 earnings just dropped and the stock slid on the print — that IS the drawdown you're buying. Nothing in the news set (no guidance cut framing, no legal/regulatory issue, no dilution, no short report) materially undercuts the thesis. Compare that to ADTN (Zacks Strong Sell + Evercore PT cut), TRIP (multiple PT cuts to $9-10 after a soft Q2), CMRC (explicit guidance cut), UWMC (dividend suspension + shelf filing), and LX (credit fears / regulatory concerns) — POST's news backdrop is by far the cleanest of any name whose forecasts confirm.

Entry zone
$77.50–$79.50 (scale in around current 78.95; add on any dip to 77 handle)
Stop loss
$72.50 (below the 1d 21-bar low reference implied by −19% dd; ~8% risk)
First target
$88 (roughly the 4h/1d fc_short of ~+11–13% and back to mid-range)
Longer target
$95–$100 (aligns with 1d fc_mid/long +30% and consensus targetUpsidePct of +41%)
Risks
  • Debt/Equity 2.48 — a bond-market wobble or credit re-pricing hits levered consumer defensives first
  • Just reported Q3 and shares slid on 8/7 — post-earnings drift can extend lower before basing (drawdown could deepen from −19% to −25% before reversing)
  • PEG 1.42 is the highest of any POST-quality name in the pool — growth is priced in, epsNextY of only 2.78% is unimpressive
  • shortFloat 16.05% is elevated for a defensive name — a squeeze helps but signals real bear conviction on the story
  • 1wk forecasts (+6.79 / +16.56 / +20.41) are meaningfully weaker than 4h/1d forecasts, hinting the sharpest gains may be intraday-to-multiday rather than swing-scale
Honorable mentions
GPIBest pure-valuation setup in the pool: fwdPe 6.06, PE 11.11, ROE 9.4%, recom 2.0. 4h/1d forecasts are strong (+27/+34/+38 and +23/+43/+44) with position at 0% of range and RSI 34.87. Only reasons it's #2: 1wk forecasts are tepid (+0.6/+3.3/+9.8), Morgan Stanley downgrade on 8/8 is a fresh overhang, and auto-retail cyclicality is a bigger macro bet than POST.
ADTNBy far the largest forecast magnitudes (4h fc +61/+45/+63; 1d +7.5/+30/+40) with deepest oversold (RSI 23.54) and 102% analyst upside. But news materially undercuts the tape: Zacks Strong Sell add on 8/5, Evercore PT cut, Simply Wall St. fair-value downgrade after Q2. Fundamentals also weaker (profitMargin −1.99%, operMargin −0.18%). High-reward but the headline landmines keep it out of #1.

1POSTBUY NOW7.8Every timeframe forecast green, oversold at bottom of range, clean fundamentals and no landmine headlines.
2GPIBUY NOW7.4Cheapest quality name (fwdPe 6.06) with strong 4h/1d forecasts, but weekly tape and MS downgrade knock it just behind POST.
3ADTNBUY PULLBACK6.7Best forecast magnitudes in the pool but Zacks Strong Sell + analyst PT cuts and negative margins keep it off #1.
4ECVTBUY PULLBACK6.0RSI 23.11 with fundamental_score 7 and salesYoY 20%, but weekly forecasts turn slightly negative — tape not fully confirming.
5LXUWAIT5.5RSI 28, near-term bullish only 0.4, and negative 1d/1wk forecasts undercut the oversold pop thesis.
6CHAWAIT5.3Solid fundamentals (ROE 15.5%, fwdPe 7.06) but no weekly tape and bullish_prob is null — signal incomplete.
7VIVWAIT5.2Highest fundamental_score (8) in group but weekly forecasts −16/−30/−35 — screen passes, tape says no.
8LXWAIT5.0PE 1.27 and PEG 0.10 are cartoonish, forecasts huge, but credit-fear headlines and 55% YTD drawdown scream value trap.
9OIBUY PULLBACK4.6Strong multi-tf forecasts (+56/+71/+92 on 4h) but debt/equity 13.02 and ROE −142% make it speculation, not investment.
10CIMWAIT4.4Bullish_prob 1 but 1d and 1wk forecasts turn negative, weaker 2026 profitability flagged in news.
11AGBKWAIT4.0recom 1.25 and PEG 0.16 attractive, but almost every fundamental field is null — cannot underwrite.
12LEAWAIT3.9Fwd P/E 7.24 attractive but bullish_prob 0 and 1d/1wk forecasts negative — tape does not confirm.
13TRIPAVOID3.7Fresh Q2 miss + $700M TheFork sale, JPM and Cantor PT cuts to $9–$10 (below spot $10.79) — no edge.
14CMRCAVOID3.5Guidance cut on 8/9 explicitly called out — even huge forecast bars can't overcome that landmine.
15AMXAVOID3.4Bullish_prob 0 and every forward forecast on every timeframe is negative — the screen is the only bull case.
16CXAVOID3.3Bullish_prob 0, 1d/1wk forecasts −11 to −38, at 33% of weekly range — no oversold edge left.
17SNEXAVOID3.2+55% YTD, 1wk fc −24/−50/−52 and bullish_prob 0 — an overextended name that briefly dipped into RSI oversold.
18EFXTAVOID3.0Bullish_prob 0, weekly fc −22/−59/−70, +124% one-year — this is a top, not a value flush.
19TBLAAVOID2.9Bullish_prob 0.2, forecasts flat-to-negative across timeframes, epsNextY −17.49 — screen mask on a fading story.
20DVAAVOID2.7Bullish_prob 0, all forecasts −17 to −30, +62% YTD — mean-reversion candidate on the wrong side.
21CVSAVOID2.5Bullish_prob 0, forecasts −11 to −31 across timeframes, at 69% of weekly range — expensive-looking flush.
22UWMCAVOID2.0Dividend suspension + shelf filing + Oaktree deal on 8/9–8/10 — screen is stale, story is broken.
23NIVFAVOID1.0$3.7M market cap, −97% YTD, operMargin −227%, absurd forecast numbers — untradeable garbage.
