Zillow (Z) is the standout turnaround setup right now because it combines a fresh, confirmed fundamental catalyst with an extraordinarily bullish forecast tape and a NOT-extended chart. Zillow just beat Q2 EPS and revenue estimates (headlines 8/5-8/6), which validates the screen's thesis (EPS next Y +31.45%, salesYoY +16.83%) with hard results. The stock is down -47.08% YTD and -56.24% over 1Y — this is exactly the deeply-hated turnaround the lens is designed to find, and it's still 31.28% off its weekly high with a 21-bar weekly position of just 8.94% (bottom of range — not chasing). The multi-timeframe forecast is best-in-class in this pool: 4h fc_long +74.98%, 1d fc_long +89.11%, 1wk fc_long +98.78%, with mid-horizon forecasts of +56/+67/+82%. All three available timeframes agree on direction, bullish_prob=1.0 and near_term_bullish=0.8. Unlike ALNY (weekly forecasts negative) or VST (1wk fc_long -45%), Zillow has no timeframe rebelling against the thesis. Fwd P/E of 12.07 and PEG 0.36 look reasonable despite a nosebleed trailing PE, because forward earnings are ramping hard (this is a J-curve, not a stretched multiple). Why TODAY vs. waiting: the earnings print is 24-48 hours old, positioning is still washed out (pos_in_range 8.94% on 1wk, 39% on 1d), and the drawdown from highs (-11.25% daily, -31.28% weekly) gives asymmetric upside. Waiting risks missing the initial post-earnings re-rating that already appears to be starting in the daily forecast. Recom of 2.0 is at the edge of the screen (softer analyst support than TMUS/ORCL/VST at ~1.4), which is the main knock — but targetUpsidePct of 62.2% and $8.3B market cap give real institutional runway. Runner-up UBER has cleaner 4-timeframe alignment with near_term_bullish=1.0, but its forecast magnitude (fc_long_1d +17.34%) is a fraction of Z's, and there's no fresh catalyst. Z's news/tape/forecast trifecta wins today.
- Recom of 2.0 is at the edge of the buy screen — weakest analyst conviction among the top-5 candidates (vs. TMUS 1.42, ORCL 1.56)
- Trailing P/E of 143.94 and operMargin of just 0.48% mean any earnings hiccup gets punished hard; profitMargin is only 2.27%
- Real-estate/housing macro sensitivity — if mortgage rates spike again, sales YoY of 16.83% could roll over
- Short float 7.62% is elevated but not extreme; a failed breakout could trigger stop cascades near $30
- Post-earnings gaps have a habit of getting filled — a retest of the $28-29 area is a real possibility before the trend resumes
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Z | BUY NOW | 8.7 | Fresh Q2 beat + massive MTF forecasts (+75/+89/+99%) + washed-out 8.94% weekly range position — cleanest turnaround setup on the board. |
| 2 | UBER | BUY NOW | 8.2 | Only name with 4-TF alignment and near_term_bullish=1.0; pos_in_range 19-29% and 15.91% profit margin make this the safety pick. |
| 3 | TMUS | BUY PULLBACK | 7.6 | Best fundamentals (recom 1.42, fwdPe 12.48) but 1h pos 95% — wait for a pullback to $172. |
| 4 | ORCL | BUY NOW | 7.4 | 1d fc_long +34%, ROE 54.28%, fwdPe 13.22 with AI-tailwind news; 1wk forecast slightly negative is the only blemish. |
| 5 | CELH | BUY NOW | 7.0 | Just reported Q2, pos_in_range 0% (fully washed), 1d fc_long +68%, salesYoY +123% — deep-value bounce setup. |
| 6 | ALNY | BUY PULLBACK | 6.8 | Big daily/4h forecasts (+50-66%) but 1wk fc_long is -2.23% and Truist cut PT — thesis intact but momentum split. |
| 7 | BIRK | BUY NOW | 6.6 | Deep-oversold (RSI 31.99, pos_in_range 0%), 1d fc_long +14%, JP Morgan raised target — clean risk/reward. |
| 8 | PFSI | BUY NOW | 6.4 | Cheapest name in pool (fwdPe 6.95), 4h fc_long +54%, near_term_bullish=1.0, but recom 2.0 caps upside conviction. |
| 9 | MLCO | BUY NOW | 6.3 | PE 9.69, all-timeframe positive forecasts (+22/+26/+47%), 'worst is behind us' narrative — small cap but clean. |
| 10 | CALX | BUY NOW | 6.1 | 4h/1d/1wk forecasts +14 to +48%, recom 1.22, rural AI broadband tailwind — small-cap sleeper. |
| 11 | WING | BUY PULLBACK | 6.0 | 1d fc_long +81%, oversold RSI 33, but 1h pos 100% and urban market challenges — wait for a red day. |
| 12 | MIR | BUY NOW | 5.9 | 4h/1d fc_long +48%/+36%, but two Citi/B.Riley PT cuts; nuclear/defense angle keeps thesis alive. |
| 13 | NRG | WAIT | 5.7 | 1d fc_long +25%, but 1wk fc_long -35% is a major MTF conflict — data center power theme is real but split tape. |
| 14 | TMDX | WAIT | 5.5 | 1d/4h forecasts +52-81% offset by 'sinking today' and 'margins down, trials delayed' headline — landmine risk. |
| 15 | MNDY | WAIT | 5.4 | 1d/1wk fc_long +40%/+103% but 1h fc_long -12.71% and 1wk pos 100% — extended, needs consolidation. |
| 16 | PRIM | AVOID | 5.3 | Big 4h/1d forecasts but 1wk fc_long -33% AND an active securities-fraud lawsuit — legal landmine. |
| 17 | VST | WAIT | 5.2 | 1d fc_long +15.5% but 1wk fc_long -45.13% and salesYoY -24.36% — thesis crumbling on weekly. |
| 18 | NOW | WAIT | 5.1 | Mixed signals; 1h/4h fc_long negative, hit by Figma AI-cost headlines — wait for tape to resolve. |
| 19 | SPOT | WAIT | 5.0 | 1d fc_long +15% but 1wk fc_long -17.57% and stock dropped 4.9% post-earnings — no edge here. |
| 20 | KNF | WAIT | 4.9 | Down 12% on Q2 profit miss, 1wk fc_mid -6.16% — the miss undermines the turnaround. |
| 21 | KVYO | BUY PULLBACK | 4.9 | Q2 revenue +26%, forecasts +25-32%, recom 1.17 — but negative profit margin and no clear catalyst gap. |
| 22 | WK | WAIT | 4.7 | 1wk fc_long +34% but 1h/4h forecasts negative, pos_in_range 100% on 1wk — chasing risk. |
| 23 | SRAD | AVOID | 4.5 | UBS downgrade + guidance cut + stock down 16.7% on Q2 — screen fails at the news layer. |
| 24 | FUTU | AVOID | 4.3 | DOJ probe and class-action headline is a binary landmine — even with strong forecasts, size positions here are asymmetric-negative. |
| 25 | BXMT | AVOID | 4.2 | Fresh $1B office-loan strain headline directly undercuts the mortgage-REIT turnaround thesis. |
| 26 | DKNG | WAIT | 4.0 | Michael Burry sold ahead of Q2 and Flutter positioning — hard to fight that read into earnings. |
| 27 | PSN | WAIT | 3.9 | Two PT cuts in 3 days and salesYoY -5.84% — forecasts look bullish but analysts fading. |
| 28 | ARES | AVOID | 3.6 | bullish_prob 0.4, 1d/4h fc_long negative, targetUpside only 6% — no edge on any dimension. |
| 29 | SE | AVOID | 3.3 | pos_in_range 94-100%, bullish_prob 0.2, 4h fc_short -13.55% — chasing at the highs. |
| 30 | TOST | AVOID | 2.8 | RSI 74.02, bullish_prob 0, principal accounting officer just sold 35% of shares — hard pass. |
