Wingstop is the cleanest setup in this pool: rock-solid fundamentals AND a tape that has just finished capitulating with forecasts pointing sharply higher across every horizon. Fundamentally it's the highest-quality name on the list — PE 26.18 / fwdPe 20.6, operating margin 28.77%, profit margin 16.15%, gross margin 82.62%, sales growth 7.61% and EPS next year 20.62%. Analyst recom is 1.47 with a target upside of +85.7%. It's not a broken business — it's a broken chart on a great business, exactly the profile this screen is built to catch (short float 15.76%, perfYear -65.84%, YTD -53.76%). The multi-timeframe tape is the reason to buy TODAY rather than wait. Position in 21-bar range is 41% on 1h, 32% on 4h, 8% on 1d, and 0% on 1wk — this is the OPPOSITE of chasing. Drawdown from 21-bar high is -43.26% on the weekly, so essentially all the sellers have already been forced out. Forecasts then confirm a turn: fc_short 36.29% / fc_mid 97.88% / fc_long 95.98% on the daily, and fc_mid 39.94% / fc_long 84.49% on the weekly. Kronos bullish_prob is 1.0 and near_term_bullish is 1.0 — the model is aligned with the fundamental screen for once, not fighting it. Headlines support rather than undercut: "Wall Street Analysts Look Bullish on Wingstop (WING): Should You Buy?" (Sep 2) is the only WING-specific item and it's constructive. Compare that to the runner-ups: ADTN has "Down 14.7% Since Last Earnings" and "Q2 Results Highlight Possible Headwinds"; CWH has "Largest RV dealer closes 13 stores in weakest market in 15 years"; LFMD has "Fair Value Cut After Analysts Lower Targets On Weaker Guidance"; KVYO has two insider-sale headlines despite a 95% position-in-range on 4h. WING has no landmine. Why now vs. wait? Because you're already buying at the weekly range floor with dd -43% and a 4h dd of -5.16%. Waiting for a "better" entry means chasing after the fc_short 36% daily move fires. Sizing this today and adding on any dip toward $105 gets you the whole reversion trade.
- Weekly recent_21bar_pct -43.26% and perfYear -65.84% show a persistent downtrend — one bad SSSG print could break the $100 floor
- PEG 1.19 and fwdPe 20.6 aren't cheap for 7.61% sales YoY; multiple contraction risk if same-store sales decelerate further
- Short float 15.76% is elevated but not extreme — no obvious squeeze fuel like KVYO (30%) or TOYO (30%)
- Consumer cyclical restaurant exposure into a Fed that headlines suggest 'might raise rates despite August job declines'
- Debt/Equity is null in the data — hidden leverage could amplify downside if traffic softens
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | WING | BUY NOW | 9.1 | Best fundamentals in the pool at the weekly range floor with all 4 timeframes forecasting up and clean news. |
| 2 | PAR | BUY PULLBACK | 7.8 | Explosive forecast stack (1d fc_long +130%) but at 85% of range on 4h — wait for a dip to mid-$16s. |
| 3 | BROS | BUY NOW | 7.6 | Range-floor entry with guidance raise catalyst; fundamentals cleaner than most on the list. |
| 4 | ADTN | BUY PULLBACK | 7.0 | Bottom-of-range with huge 4h fc_short +77.83%, but "Down 14.7% Since Last Earnings" headline is a real overhang. |
| 5 | CWH | BUY PULLBACK | 6.6 | Weekly fc_long +155.87% and bullish_prob 1.0, but "largest RV dealer closes 13 stores" is a fresh negative headline. |
| 6 | EVH | WAIT | 6.2 | 1wk fc_long +295% is eye-popping and analysts raised PTs to $6, but 4h forecasts are negative across the board. |
| 7 | MNDY | BUY PULLBACK | 6.0 | 1wk fc_long +80% and improving valuation narrative, but near_term_bullish 0 and 1h/4h forecasts fade. |
| 8 | PHAT | WAIT | 5.8 | Recom 1.30 and 4h fc_mid +61%, but weekly forecasts negative and Barclays LOWERED PT to $14. |
| 9 | CELH | WAIT | 5.6 | Fundamentals solid but 4h forecasts negative and "No Bargain After 50% Fall" headline caps enthusiasm. |
| 10 | KVYO | WAIT | 5.3 | Top-scored on paper but 4h position 95%, near_term_bullish only 0.2, and two insider-sale headlines — chasing. |
| 11 | BTBT | BUY PULLBACK | 5.1 | All-timeframe positive forecasts and recom 1.0, but 1d position 94% and near_term_bullish 0. |
| 12 | TOYO | BUY PULLBACK | 5.0 | peg 0.02, roe 46.5%, but weekly dd -72% and expected_return_pct only 0.6% suggest model is skeptical of the bounce holding. |
| 13 | INO | WAIT | 4.7 | 1d already up 104%, position 100% of range — binary FDA event, not a chase. |
| 14 | LFMD | WAIT | 4.4 | Range floor and recom 1.0, but "Fair Value Cut After Analysts Lower Targets On Weaker Guidance" is a red flag. |
| 15 | PGY | AVOID | 3.2 | Position 100% on both 4h and 1wk with all forecasts NEGATIVE mid/long and bullish_prob 0 — screen-passer but tape says top. |
