Parsons (PSN) is the cleanest lean_rider setup on the board because it's the only name where the bullish probability (1.0), near-term bullish score (0.8), and forecast tape all agree across every timeframe without being extended. On the 1h fc_short/mid/long is +0.39/+1.59/+2.70, on 4h it's +0.67/+5.18/+23.31, on 1d it's a standout +9.07/+37.34/+43.89, and even the 1wk stays green on mid/long at +13.22/+27.52 (with only a trivial -0.28 short). That is genuine multi-timeframe alignment — not one hero bar carrying the score. Crucially, PSN is not being chased. Position in 21-bar range is 60.94% (1h), 61.34% (4h), 32.74% (1d) and just 16.39% (1wk), with weekly drawdown of -21.07% from the high. You are buying into a name that has been beaten up (perfYtd -24.51%, perfYear -38.76%) and is now curling back with RSI 45.71 — right at the bottom of the screen's 45–70 window, the sweet spot for lean_rider. Compare that to RDDT (1h pos 91.56, weekly fc long -41.1), NOC (4h pos 93.19, weekly fc long -9.46), or AVAV (4h pos 97.91) where the tape is either at the top of range or the weekly forecast bleeds. Fundamentals corroborate: fwdPe 13.75 (best-in-class among the growth names here), PEG 2.0, recom 1.64 (strong buy), analyst targetUpsidePct +22.9%, epsNextY +39.86%, instOwn 103.69% (accumulation). Profit margin is thin at 2.5% and salesYoY -5.84%, so this is a turnaround not a compounder — but that's exactly why the entry setup matters, and the tape says the turn is now. The news is a supportive tiebreaker rather than a landmine: the 9/14 headline that Parsons' Operational, Agile, Defense Solutions are now on the Department of War's Digital Marketplaces is a real revenue-access catalyst. No guidance cut, no legal overhang, no dilution. Waiting for a deeper pullback risks missing the 1d fc_short of +9.07%, which suggests the move is imminent — today is the entry.
- Fundamentals are soft — profitMargin only 2.5%, ROE 6.12%, salesYoY -5.84%; a weak Q3 print would break the turnaround narrative
- Weekly drawdown of -21.07% and perfYear -38.76% means overhead supply is heavy; expect resistance at $50 and $55
- Small-cap defense ($4.98B market cap) — beta to DoD budget headlines and Continuing Resolution outcomes is high
- 1wk fc_short is very slightly negative (-0.28%), so a 1-2 day chop before the up-move is possible
- Short float 5.19% is manageable but not a squeeze setup — this is a fundamentals/tape trade, not a momentum blowoff
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | PSN | BUY NOW | 8.6 | Bullish_prob 1.0, near_term 0.8, all four TFs green on mid/long forecasts, and pos_in_range 16–61% means you're not chasing. |
| 2 | NOC | BUY NOW | 7.2 | Best fundamentals + bullish_prob 1.0 + 1d fc +8.75% mid, but 4h at 93% of range makes a small pullback preferable. |
| 3 | DKNG | BUY PULLBACK | 6.1 | 1wk fc_long +45.1% and 1h pos only 23%, but weak fundamentals (profitMargin -2.68%) and bullish_prob 0.6 argue for size discipline. |
| 4 | WMT | BUY PULLBACK | 5.6 | Bullish_prob 1.0 and near_term 0.8 with 1d fc +5.56% mid, but the 1wk fc_long of -29.73% is a warning — swing traders only. |
| 5 | AVAV | BUY PULLBACK | 5.3 | Great defense news flow and 1d fc_mid +40.88%, but 4h pos 97.91% is peak-chase and 1wk fc_long -11.96% dampens conviction. |
| 6 | RDDT | BUY PULLBACK | 5.1 | Fundamentals score 8 and 1d fc_mid +13.23%, but 1h at 91.56% of range and 1wk fc_long -41.10% is a stark divergence. |
| 7 | UPS | WAIT | 4.9 | Bullish_prob 0.6 with a steady 4h fc_long +2.81% and 6.4% dividend cushion, but forecasts are muted — not enough edge today. |
| 8 | CHRW | WAIT | 4.4 | Bullish_prob 0.8 with 1d pos 96%, but 1wk fc_long of -47.97% overwhelms the near-term strength. |
| 9 | BTI | WAIT | 4.2 | Solid fundamentals (fundamental_score 7.5, fwdPe 10.81), but 1wk fc_long -40.09% and bullish_prob only 0.2. |
| 10 | MOH | WAIT | 3.9 | 1wk fc_long +49.49% is enticing, but fundamental_score 0, roe -0.16%, and targetUpside only 1.1% — no confirmation. |
| 11 | MCRI | AVOID | 3.2 | Bullish_prob 0, near_term 0, 1d fc_long -17.31%, 1wk fc_long -36.93% — broken tape. |
| 12 | KNX | AVOID | 2.9 | 1h and 4h pos at 0% of range, 1wk fc_long -29.45%, PE 260 — falling knife despite call-option interest. |
| 13 | GOOGL | AVOID | 2.6 | Bullish_prob 0, 1wk fc_short -44.46%, 1wk fc_long -53.03% — the tape is screaming caution regardless of the fundamentals. |
| 14 | CLS | AVOID | 2.2 | Bullish_prob 0 and 1wk fc_long -91.38% — the CFO change headline lands into a collapsing forecast. |
| 15 | MRVL | AVOID | 1.8 | Bullish_prob 0, 1d fc_long -63.36%, 1wk fc_long -70.86% after +228% perfYear — mean-reversion setup, not a buy. |
