Wingstop is the cleanest setup on the board: it passes the screen (shortFloat 15.76%, perfYear -66.63%, epsNextY 20.77%, recom 1.47) AND the tape is coiled at the bottom of range with powerful forecasts across every horizon. Position-in-21bar-range is 0% on 1d and 1wk and 9% on 4h — you are not chasing, you are buying the capitulation low, with drawdown from 21-bar high at -13.62% (1d) and -44.21% (1wk). Meanwhile the Kronos forecasts explode as you extend: 1d fc_short +24.15%, fc_mid +104.18%, fc_long +100.89%; 1wk fc_mid +52.67%, fc_long +94.38%; 4h fc_mid +40%, fc_long +62.72%. Bullish_prob 1.0, near_term_bullish 0.8 — this is multi-timeframe agreement at a washed-out price. Fundamentals are the best in the pool for a real business: fund_score 6 (only TOYO and KVYO score higher, but KVYO trades at 970x PE and TOYO is a $180M microcap). WING runs 28.77% operating margins, 16.15% profit margins, 82.62% gross margins on 7.61% sales growth — this is a franchise model, not a story stock. Fwd PE 20.43 vs. epsNextY 20.77% growth gives you PEG ~1.0. Analyst recom 1.47 with targetUpsidePct +87% is the Street effectively agreeing with the Kronos long forecast. News is a landmine check that WING passes: the 8/24 Jersey Mike's/Subway piece is not about WING, and the 8/20 "trade down" note is just describing the drawdown that IS the opportunity. No guidance cut, no dilution, no legal cloud, no short-seller report. Compare to CWH, which has stronger raw forecasts (+62/+122% mid) but was just hit with "Largest RV dealer closes 13 stores in weakest market in 15 years" — that materially undercuts the forecast and pushes CWH to BUY_PULLBACK. TMDX is the runner-up (strong 4h/1d forecasts, roe 36.28, positive $2B kidney catalyst) but sits mid-range at 42% and offers less asymmetry than WING here. TODAY is the right entry because you rarely get this combination: a proven-model consumer franchise 66% off its highs, sitting at the literal floor of its 21-bar range on both daily and weekly, with all four timeframe forecasts pointing higher and no adverse news. Waiting for further confirmation likely means chasing the +24% short-term move the model is projecting.
- Weekly perf -44.21% and yearly -66.63% signal an established downtrend — a failed reclaim of the 21-bar range keeps sellers in control
- Sales growth only 7.61% YoY vs. a still-premium fwdPe 20.43; any same-store-sales miss could re-rate multiples lower
- ShortFloat 15.76% is the low end of the screen — less short-squeeze fuel than TOYO (29.9%) or BTDR (39.06%)
- Consumer cyclical (restaurants) is exposed to macro; the 8/29 CELH-linked "Fed might raise rates" note is a sector headwind
- 1h fc_short is only +0.51% — near-term tape is flat, so the trade needs patience for the daily/weekly forecasts to play out
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | WING | BUY NOW | 8.6 | Franchise-quality name at 0% of 21-bar range with all four TFs bullish and fc_mid/long +52–104%; no adverse news. |
| 2 | TMDX | BUY NOW | 7.8 | Profitable growth (roe 36, margin 23) with 4h fc_mid +66% and a fresh $2B TAM catalyst; mid-range entry. |
| 3 | PAR | BUY PULLBACK | 7.3 | 1wk fc_long +140% and peg 0.08 are elite but pos_in_range 88–92% = don't chase, wait for $17 handle. |
| 4 | BROS | BUY NOW | 6.9 | RSI 33.6, pos_in_range 0–2%, near_term_bullish 1.0, recom 1.26; weekly forecast still soft (-11.93% fc_long) is the caveat. |
| 5 | CWH | BUY PULLBACK | 6.6 | Monster fc_long +154% but 'largest RV dealer closes 13 stores, weakest market in 15 years' headline materially undercuts today; wait. |
| 6 | TOYO | BUY PULLBACK | 6.4 | Fund_score 8 and 4h fc_long +167% is jaw-dropping, but -72% weekly drawdown and $180M cap = size small and wait for base. |
| 7 | CELH | WAIT | 6.0 | 1d fc_mid +34.97% and salesYoY +82.86% are strong but 1wk fc_short -8.71% and Simply Wall St 'no bargain' note keeps this in wait mode. |
| 8 | KVYO | WAIT | 5.8 | Positive product-momentum coverage but pos_in_range 96–99% and 1wk fc_long -13.16% = extended and rolling on higher TF. |
| 9 | PHAT | BUY PULLBACK | 5.4 | 4h fc_mid +50.65% and epsNextY +217%, but Barclays cut PT to $14 and 1wk fc's tepid; needs cleaner setup. |
| 10 | INO | WAIT | 5.3 | Binary FDA countdown per SeekingAlpha — either doubles or halves; sizing/entry not investable via signal. |
| 11 | MNDY | WAIT | 5.1 | Fundamentals fine but pos_in_range 95–99% on daily/weekly with 1h fc_mid -10.35% = chasing the top. |
| 12 | BTBT | BUY PULLBACK | 5.0 | Recom 1.0, targetUpside +197%, 4h fc_long +53% but weekly fc's negative and -34.56% dd; better as small speculative. |
| 13 | BTDR | WAIT | 4.7 | 1wk fc_mid -22.8% and fc_long -7.74% override the 4h +24% pop; higher-TF trend is still down. |
| 14 | EVH | AVOID | 4.2 | 4h fc_long -35.92% and near_term_bullish only 0.4 despite JPM/TDC PT hikes — tape disagrees with analysts. |
| 15 | PDYN | AVOID | 4.0 | 1wk fc_long -39.27% and ps 23.79 with -254% profit margin; SwarmOS partnership is not enough to offset. |
