Wingstop is the cleanest setup in this pool: strong fundamentals passing the screen AND a forecast tape that agrees across every timeframe with the stock literally pinned to the bottom of its 21-bar weekly range (pos_in_21bar_range_pct = 0% on 1wk, 9.03% on 1d, 13.13% on 4h). Multi-TF alignment is textbook: 1h fc_long +23.12%, 4h fc_mid +37.18% / fc_long +64.24%, 1d fc_mid +88.19% / fc_long +90.59%, 1wk fc_mid +44.44% / fc_long +68.44%. bullish_prob = 1.0 and near_term_bullish = 1.0. RSI 28.88, drawdown of −38.73% from the weekly high — a real washout, not a mild dip. Fundamentals are genuinely strong for a name this beaten down: operating margin 28.77%, gross margin 82.62%, profit margin 16.15%, salesYoY +7.61%, fwdPe 21.75 vs. a growth business, analyst recom 1.48 (Strong Buy), targetUpsidePct +79.2%. Fundamental_score 6.0 with matched screen. That's a rare combo — most oversold, high-short-interest names in this list have broken profitability (TDOC, PACB, RUN, KPTI). WING is a franchised, capital-light restaurant business that got hammered on Q2 unit-economics concerns, not a broken model. Crucially, I looked at every other high-scoring candidate through the news filter and each has a landmine WING lacks: CELH just gapped down 18% on an earnings whiff; BIRK reports earnings NEXT WEEK (binary risk on top of a 1h position at 100% of range — you'd be chasing); PZZA 'crashed after earnings'; RUN cut full-year cash guidance; TDOC fell 28% after earnings; SEDG plummeted despite a beat; KPTI failed its primary endpoint. WING's most recent headlines are a BBQ product launch, a Q2 deep-dive noting a loyalty program launch, and it's already been included in a 'profitable stocks to watch' piece — no fresh landmine. Why TODAY vs. waiting: price is at $120 with 1wk position at 0% of range and RSI 28.88 — this IS the pullback. The 1h forecast is still positive (fc_short +8.12%, fc_mid +13.19%), meaning the tape has already started to base rather than continue lower. Waiting risks the mean-reversion snap that the 4h/1d forecasts imply.
- Restaurant same-store sales continue to disappoint — 1wk recent_21bar_pct of −35.94% shows the trend is still down until proven otherwise
- Short float 17% could squeeze upward, but also means downside if sentiment worsens
- PEG 1.24 and fwdPe 21.75 aren't cheap if EPS growth (+20.59% next year) disappoints again
- Consumer-discretionary tape weak; Q2 deep-dive flagged 'urban market challenges' — another quarter of soft comps sends this to fresh lows
- 1wk fc_short of −2.74% suggests one more down leg is possible before the mid-term bounce triggers
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | WING | BUY NOW | 8.6 | Full multi-TF alignment, bottom of weekly range, strong margins/analyst support, and no landmine news. |
| 2 | TRIP | BUY NOW | 7.2 | Cheap fwdPe 7.08 with 1wk fc_long +65% and low range position; earnings just cleared. |
| 3 | BIRK | BUY PULLBACK | 6.4 | Best fundamentals in pool but 1h at 100% of range and earnings NEXT WEEK — don't chase into a binary. |
| 4 | COLM | BUY NOW | 6.2 | Quality fundamentals, positive tariff-recovery earnings, low range position — modest forecast magnitude. |
| 5 | PHAT | BUY PULLBACK | 5.6 | Strong 4h/1d forecasts and analyst recom 1.30, but 1wk fc_long only +0.52% is a red flag. |
| 6 | EBS | BUY PULLBACK | 5.4 | RSI 20, huge 4h/1d forecasts (+78%/+61%), but NARCAN impairment overhang keeps it in pullback bucket. |
| 7 | ADTN | BUY PULLBACK | 5.2 | RSI 22.68, peg 0.22, recom 1.44 but 1wk forecast weak (+0.29% short) and PT cuts this week. |
| 8 | MNRO | BUY PULLBACK | 5.0 | All-TF alignment and near_term 1.0, but weak margins (2.29% oper) and Stephens PT cut. |
| 9 | CELH | WAIT | 4.8 | Highest fund_score but just gapped −18% on Q2 miss; need to see base form. |
| 10 | FUN | BUY PULLBACK | 4.4 | Weekly fc_long +167% is huge but debtEq 19.81 and −52% profit margin are ugly. |
| 11 | PZZA | WAIT | 4.2 | Strong forecasts but 'crashed after earnings' headline — let the dust settle. |
| 12 | SPRY | BUY PULLBACK | 4.0 | 1d fc_long +99% but ps 5.57 and profit margin −200%; new CEO catalyst pending. |
| 13 | UWMC | WAIT | 3.8 | Massive forecasts (+230%+) but Q2 swung to adjusted loss and debtEq 118 is extreme. |
| 14 | LFMD | WAIT | 3.5 | near_term_bullish 0 and 1d fc_short −15% despite Buy reiterations — tape says no. |
| 15 | TDUP | WAIT | 3.4 | RSI 20.75 and strong forecasts, but PT cuts and −69% 1yr keep it speculative. |
| 16 | JBGS | WAIT | 3.2 | Clean multi-TF forecasts but recom 5.0 (Sell) and fund_score −4.5 — analysts hate it. |
| 17 | BGS | WAIT | 3.0 | CEO stepping down adds uncertainty on top of −4.23% profit margin and debtEq 5.1. |
| 18 | PACB | AVOID | 2.8 | 'It's Only Getting Worse' SA piece and roe −929% — no thanks. |
| 19 | MBRX | AVOID | 2.6 | $2.7M market cap microcap with fictional forecast magnitudes — untradeable. |
| 20 | OPEN | AVOID | 2.5 | Home-sales slump headline, roe −196%, salesYoY −37% — broken. |

| 23 | SNBR | AVOID | 2.2 | Down 98% YTD, bullish_prob null, $2.9M mcap — untradeable. |
| 24 | RUN | AVOID | 2.1 | Just cut full-year cash guidance; Goldman PT cut. Screen result is stale. |
| 25 | KPTI | AVOID | 1.9 | Primary endpoint failure and HC Wainwright downgrade — thesis broken. |
| 26 | TDOC | AVOID | 1.8 | Down 28% post-earnings with guidance pressure; 1wk fc_long −41.64%. |
| 27 | LESL | AVOID | 1.7 | 1d fc_long −39%, 4h fc_long −19.76%, $14M mcap — falling knife. |
| 28 | NRXP | AVOID | 1.5 | bullish_prob 0, all forecast horizons negative on 4h and 1d. |
| 29 | ESTA | AVOID | 1.4 | bullish_prob 0, near_term 0, all forecasts deeply negative despite screen pass. |
| 30 | GDC | AVOID | 1.0 | 1wk fc = −100% across horizons; nonsensical 4h/1d forecasts from data corruption. |
