Wingstop is the cleanest setup on the board today: it's the rare name where every single timeframe forecast is positive AND the stock is sitting at the bottom of its recent range, meaning you're not chasing. On the 1h, 4h, 1d, and 1wk, forecast long horizons print +14.69%, +41.26%, +67.54%, and +45.64% respectively — no bearish divergence anywhere. Position-in-range is 31 / 9 / 5 / 10 across the four timeframes, and the 1d drawdown is -19.77% with weekly drawdown -44.76%. That is a fully washed-out, capitulated tape with the model pointing higher on every horizon. Bullish probability is 1.0 and near-term bullish is 1.0. The fundamentals back the tape rather than fight it. Wingstop still runs a 28.03% operating margin, 82.58% gross margin, and 15.77% profit margin — franchise-model economics that don't disappear because the stock got cut in half. Analyst recom is 1.45 (strong buy skew), targetUpsidePct is +66.7%, and institutional ownership is 132.5% (heavy squeeze fuel with 15.45% short float). fwdPe 25.39 and PEG 1.34 aren't bargain-bin but they are the cheapest this stock has been in years given -56.81% 1Y performance and +21.75% forward EPS growth. The headline flow is neutral-to-mildly-negative (Wells Fargo trimmed PT to $170 but kept Overweight; Zacks flagged the underperformance) — nothing structural, no guidance cut, no legal action, no dilution. That is exactly the profile you want: sentiment is dead, sell-side has already de-rated, and the model still forecasts a strong mean-reversion. Compare that to PGY (best fundamentals of the pool but weekly forecast is -44.78% — the tape is rolling over into the print) or MNDY (also multi-TF positive but 1wk +148.9% is an outlier print riding on a lower base). WING gives you the tightest confluence of screen-thesis, deep drawdown, multi-TF forecast agreement, and no landmine headline. Today is the entry because you are literally at the bottom of the range with the model calling for a bounce across every horizon; waiting for confirmation means giving up the discount.
- Restaurant same-store sales pressure — the -56.81% 1Y and -40.91% YTD suggest fundamental deceleration, not just multiple compression; if next print shows SSS turning negative the model targets get invalidated
- Short float 15.45% + institutional own 132.52% = crowded book; a break of $128 could cascade quickly as long-side unwinds
- Valuation is still not cheap in absolute terms (fwdPe 25.39, PEG 1.34) — any macro/consumer discretionary re-rating hits WING harder than staples
- Recent analyst PT cuts (Wells Fargo to $170) show sell-side is still trimming, not upgrading — this is a contrarian entry, not a consensus one
- 1h forecast is only +4.33% short — the very-near-term thrust is modest, so intraday drawdown to sub-$140 is entirely possible before the mid/long forecasts play out
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | WING | BUY NOW | 8.6 | All four timeframes positive, bottom-of-range on 3 of 4 TFs, 28% op margin, no landmine headlines — the textbook washed-out rebound setup. |
| 2 | MNDY | BUY NOW | 8.2 | Full multi-TF alignment with 1d +39.93% / 1wk +148.9% forecasts, fwdPe 14.69, bullish_prob 1.0 — slight discount to WING only because it's higher in its weekly range. |
| 3 | PSIX | BUY PULLBACK | 7.6 | Best fundamentals of the pool (PE 7.17, ROE 75.67), 1d fc_long +129%, but weekly fc_long -27.87% creates cross-TF conflict — wait for 1wk to flip. |
| 4 | CWH | BUY PULLBACK | 7.2 | 1d fc_long +67.6%, 1wk +179%, bottom of range, but debt/eq 19.03 and profitMargin -1.49 make it a leveraged bounce play, not a core buy. |
| 5 | TMDX | BUY PULLBACK | 7.0 | Real profitability (ROE 45.22, profitMargin 27.04), 1d fc_long +62.39%, but 1h/1wk forecasts negative and Evercore just cut PT to $90. |
| 6 | CELH | BUY PULLBACK | 6.7 | 1d fc_long +54.37%, near bottom of weekly range (7.34), but 1h/1wk short forecasts negative and margin-headwinds headline is a real drag. |
| 7 | QXO | BUY PULLBACK | 6.5 | All-TF positive forecasts (1d +29.05%), fund score 4.75, recom 1.13, but 'sold the news' headline plus weekly dd -39% suggests trend still bleeding. |
| 8 | KVYO | WAIT | 6.2 | Strong 1d/1wk forecasts (+32.8/+25.4), but RSI 65.89 and pos-in-range 93.75 on daily = chasing; 1h fc_long -13.27% warns of near-term pullback. |
| 9 | ZENA | WAIT | 5.9 | 1d fc_long +155.87% and heavy M&A cadence, but profitMargin -332% and micro-cap acquisition-roll-up model is high-variance. |
| 10 | MP | WAIT | 5.8 | RSI 31.54, deep drawdowns on every TF, but 1wk fc_long -39.97% shows the model does NOT see a durable bounce yet. |
| 11 | REAX | WAIT | 5.7 | 1d fc_long +48.47%, but 1h and 1wk forecasts negative and pos-in-range 87 on daily — already extended into the RE/MAX merger narrative. |
| 12 | PDYN | WAIT | 5.6 | All-TF near-term positive (1d fc_long +56.46%), preliminary Q2 sales +480% YoY, but ps 32.41 and profitMargin -358% are extreme. |
| 13 | PROP | WAIT | 5.5 | 1h/4h fc_long +46/+110%, but debtEq 1222 and ROE -700 is a balance-sheet minefield; fwdPe 0.88 hints market disbelieves earnings. |
| 14 | RDW | WAIT | 5.5 | $21.5M DoD contract is a real catalyst and 1h fc_long +60%, but 1wk dd -65.81% and CEO share sale muddy the picture; near_term_bullish 0.2. |
| 15 | ASPI | WAIT | 5.4 | Big forecast magnitudes (1d fc_long +69%), RSI 27.54 oversold, but recent convertible-note-for-equity exchange = dilution overhang. |
| 16 | MBRX | WAIT | 5.3 | 1wk fc_long +76% and positive MIRACLE trial commentary, but June 30 headline flagged interim data fell short of significance — high binary risk. |
| 17 | UPXI | WAIT | 5.2 | 1wk fc_long +932% is an outlier print; profitMargin -874% and PT was just cut to $1.3 — pure speculation. |
| 18 | PGY | AVOID | 5.1 | Best fund score (8) but 1h/4h/1wk forecasts all negative (-18.53/-11.77/-44.78% long) — screen thesis is being invalidated by tape. |
| 19 | TTAN | WAIT | 5.0 | Positive AI-monetization narrative and 1d fc_long +28.94%, but 1h/4h long forecasts negative and fwdPe 46.14 leaves no margin for error. |
| 20 | KULR | WAIT | 4.9 | 1wk fc_long +87.88% and Icarus Robotics deal, but 1d fc_short -8.71% and profitMargin -383% — needs the 1d to turn. |
| 21 | ASST | AVOID | 4.7 | Now essentially a BTC treasury vehicle; profitMargin -12110%, 1wk fc_short -51.61% — narrative not fundamentals. |
| 22 | SPRY | WAIT | 4.6 | 1d fc_mid +33.6%, but CEO transition mid-launch of Neffy and short float 33.7% make this a show-me story. |
| 23 | CTXR | AVOID | 4.3 | 1wk fc_long +295% but market cap $14M and profitMargin -823% — model is fitting noise, not signal. |
| 24 | INV | AVOID | 4.2 | ps 98.18 and profitMargin -5226% with recent CEO change; forecasts positive but off catastrophic drawdown base. |
| 25 | DFDV | AVOID | 4.1 | ROE -2398%, debtEq 12.54, Cantor just cut PT to $4.70 — leveraged Solana-treasury vehicle, not investable here. |
| 26 | CRWV | WAIT | 4.0 | 1d fc_long +51%, but bullish_prob is null and recom 1.88 is weakest in the pool; -49% from highs but still no confirmation. |
| 27 | AIM | AVOID | 3.8 | 1wk fc_long +4388% is pure model outlier on a $7.5M-cap; profitMargin -14123%, salesYoY -35.6% — pass. |
| 28 | SAIL | WAIT | 3.7 | bullish_prob null, recom 1.56, fund score 0.5, and insider selling headline — no edge here. |
| 29 | FLWS | AVOID | 3.5 | 1h/4h at 100% of range with negative mid-term forecasts, salesYoY -9.53%, near_term_bullish 0.2 — chasing a fading pop. |
| 30 | VOYG | AVOID | 3.3 | Morgan Stanley just downgraded to Underweight and bullish_prob null; the Geisinger partnership doesn't offset the sell-side reset. |
