CLSK
freshCleanSpark — the last pure-play BTC miner — capitulating to the AI/HPC "neocloud" pivot; +37% in May on hyperscaler lease talks plus Aschenbrenner/13F accumulation despite an ugly Q2 miss. Market re-rating it on power-capacity optionality,…

DUOT
freshRailcar-inspection microcap reborn as an AI edge data-center/GPUaaS operator: $176M Hydra Host NVIDIA B300 contract (Mar 2026) + fresh $50.4M APR cash (May 26) fund a 2H-2026 revenue hockey-stick toward the ">$50M FY26" guide. Theme…
FTRE
freshBusted Labcorp CRO spin turning the corner — Q1 adj EBITDA +55% YoY, margin +270bps to 7.4%, book-to-bill 1.15x (3rd straight Q >1.1x), out of revolver. Real fundamental inflection, but stock has 4x'd off $3.97 to ~$15.64 at RSI ~80, +51%…
HPE
freshLegacy-pivot AI-server trade whose binary already fired: 2026-06-02 Q2 beat + raised guide + $6.3B AI backlog drove a record +25% rip that faded off the high. Theme ACCELERATING (Dell twin), but 12+ PT raises in 48h = narrative gone…

PRCH
freshReciprocal-exchange pivot proving out: Q1 (2026-04-28) PSI revenue +29% YoY, FY26 guide raised to $495–507M, swung to positive FCF/EBITDA. Analyst cluster (Benchmark $22, Stephens resume) drove an $8→$10.8 breakout — but the move is ~5…
QCML
freshQCML is a 2x-DAILY leveraged ETF on Qualcomm, NOT a quantum stock (theme was mislabeled). QCOM's datacenter-AI pivot is accelerating — Dragonfly inference-chip launch (Jun-1) + hyperscaler custom-silicon deal, +100% off April lows into the…

WTTR
freshProduced-water midstream re-rate: Q1''26 record Water Infra revenue ($96.7M) and a raised FY26 infra-growth guide to 25-30% YoY converted a cyclical OFS name into a contracted-infrastructure story, and 2026-05-29 double Buy initiations…
ACHC
Broken-chart specialty-healthcare rehab story. UBS reiterated Buy + PT $31 on 2026-04-17, but single-analyst blip vs. multi-quarter downtrend + unresolved DOJ overhang. No narrative velocity — DORMANT. Wait for weekly 20-EMA reclaim on…
ADTN
Post-ADVA legacy pivot + BEAD-fiber tailwind. Evercore's 2026-04-14 Outperform/$18 is the first constructive major-broker note in two years, but the trade is binary on the ~2026-05-07 Q1 print — need GM% ≥34% and book-to-bill >1.0 to…
AMN
freshBeaten-down healthcare-staffing cyclical. Q1 (5/07) EPS $2.10 crushed $1.62 est, but Q2 revenue guide $620-635M came in light vs $634.9M consensus and sell-side stayed mostly Neutral (PTs $26-32). No accelerating narrative — this is a…
BTBT
freshHoldco SOTP discount, NOT a momentum setup: BTBT''s $691M mcap is below its 27M-share WYFI stake alone (~$767M at $28.36) plus ~158k ETH (~$330M). But the tape is broken (-25% 12mo, -8.6% on 6/3, $1.85) and the AI-infra momentum lives in…
CERS
freshBlood-safety turnaround: Q1''26 (4/30) hit adjusted-EBITDA positive (+$4.0M) on +24% product revenue and a raised FY guide ($227–231M), driving a ~2.7x off the $1.15 low. But the re-rate is largely done — MATURING, RSI-overbought near $2.8…
CMBT
freshGeopolitical tanker super-spike printing record earnings — VLCC ~$182k/day Q2-to-date (81% fixed) vs $46k 10-yr avg, Q1 EPS $1.27. But it''s a mean-reverting cyclical at a Hormuz-driven peak: stock is ~12% off its high on a blowout Q1, the…
DPST
Regional-bank M&A + rate-cut steepener narrative accelerating under Trump-Bessent OCC; DPST is the 3x leveraged rental on KRE. Q1 regional bank earnings (Apr 22–25) and 2026-05-07 FOMC are the binary catalysts. Decay-prone vehicle — 1–4…
DVA
freshDialysis volume-recovery + GLP-1-fear-reversal re-rate: +70% YTD to ~$195. Q1 beat (adj EPS $2.87 vs $2.33, reported May 5) drove a +27.6% gap and a raised FY guide. But price now sits ABOVE avg analyst PT ($193.71), near ATH ($202.69),…

FIVN
freshLegacy seat-based CCaaS incumbent racing to out-grow its own AI self-disruption: AI ARR +68% ($125M) but core CCaaS only +8% and total revenue decelerated to +9% (Q1 2026). Stock rolled over $26→$24 (-9% in 3 days), no catalyst until Q2…
GTX
freshTurbo cash-cow repositioning turbomachinery IP into data-center/industrial oil-free cooling (Ingersoll Rand + Trane deals). But the Q1 binary already fired 2026-04-30 (beat + raised guide), popping RSI to ~85 and triggering clustered…
HELE
freshPost-earnings turnaround pop that''s already mature: HELE ran to a 52-wk high $36.58 on the 2026-04-23 Q4 beat but trades ~40-50% above sell-side PTs ($23-25) with RSI 77.7. Catalyst spent, theme MATURING, no fresh accelerating leg to buy.…
HIVE
freshBTC-miner→AI-compute pivot: three analyst PT raises in one day (2026-06-03 — B. Riley $8 / HCW $7 / Rosenblatt $5.5) THROUGH a Q4 revenue miss, sell-side starting to price BUZZ HPC, "the growth engine the market is missing." Laggard…
ILMN
freshGenomics-monopoly turnaround that has already worked: ILMN ~doubled YTD on a clinical-sequencing inflection + NovaSeq X ramp + buybacks, now pinned at 52w highs ($175.73) trading ABOVE the $138 avg analyst PT. MATURING/recognition phase —…
KALU
freshAluminum tariff supply-shock + Q1 earnings inflection drove KALU +156% YoY to ATHs ($186 vs $194 high), but the clean leg ran Feb–Apr: earnings printed 4/22, sell-side already upgraded, price now ABOVE the highest PT ($183) with no…

KODK
Dormant legacy shell with two live binaries: ~$530M KRIP pension reversion (H1 2026) and Rochester REE/pharma pivot. Q1 2026 print ~2026-05-08 is the window — blackout kicks in ~2026-05-05. Narrative is NOT accelerating on KODK…
MARA
freshBitcoin-miner-to-AI-pivot story, but the core is on fire: BTC crashed to $63.7K (June 4) and the 2026-06-02 Q1 was a double-miss (rev $174.6M -18%, -$1.3B net loss on a $1B BTC writedown). The Starwood 1GW→2.5GW AI/HPC leg is a promise,…
MOH
freshManaged-care trough-year rotation: MOH reset FY26 adj-EPS to ≥$5.00 (Feb -28%), then Q1 beat at $2.35 / MCR 91.1% and reaffirmed (late Apr, +9–17%) — first sign Medicaid cost trend is stabilizing. But stock is +58% off the $121 low and…
MRVI
freshPost-COVID turnaround re-rating: MRVI ($1.99 low) is at a fresh 52-wk high $5.16 after the Q1 beat (rev $65.8M vs $52.9M est, +41% YoY) + FY26 guide raise + the 2026-06-02/03 refi that cut debt $243M→$150M and killed the balance-sheet bear…
NKE
freshBeaten-down legacy brand at 52-wk lows (~$43.38, -25% in 3mo); the May rate-relief bounce FAILED into a lower low. Elliott Hill turnaround is unproven and price structure is broken — a falling knife into the binary 2026-06-30 Q4 print. No…
NWPX
freshWater-infra + precast roll-up legacy-pivot; +190% over 52wks on record Q1 backlog ($373M WTS) and a ~90% EPS beat (Apr 29). But MATURING — at 52w highs, ~20% above the $99 analyst-PT cluster, next catalyst (Q2) ~7 weeks out. Fresh entry at…
OLPX
Broken-IPO turnaround with zero narrative acceleration — 4 straight YoY-decline quarters, TikTok brand damage persisting, K18/private-label stealing shelf. New CEO Baldwin 2 years in, no inflection printed. DORMANT until Q1 2026…
OXM
Beaten-down premium resort-wear holdco (Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer) in a multi-quarter declining-comp tape. "Consumer-reopening" theme is 4+ years stale; narrative velocity is zero. Classic value-trap silhouette — cheap multiple plus…
PBI
freshActivist turnaround (Hestia''s Kurt Wolf now CEO) has largely PLAYED OUT: ~3x off the $8.95 low to a 52-wk high $17.09 on buybacks (17.2M sh/$186M YTD), cost cuts and debt paydown. Q1 (reported May 5) raised FY26 guide but revenue still…
PII
freshPowersports turnaround inflecting — Indian Motorcycle sold to Carolwood (closed 2026-02-02), Q1 (2026-04-27) printed first positive adj EPS (+$0.13 vs −$0.90) on +423bps gross margin. But the recovery leg ($52→$64) has mostly played;…
PTEN
freshNatural-gas rig-reactivation thesis: LNG ramp + AI data-center power demand should pull gas-directed drilling higher in 2H26, with PTEN''s 100% gas-powered frac fleets + capital returns as leverage. But it''s a slow-burn cyclical — Q1 was…
PVH
DORMANT / avoid-long into Q1 FY26 print. LVMH 2026-04-13 miss (€19.12B vs €19.49B est) plus "fall off a cliff Q2" sell-side piece put mid-tier apparel in the crosshairs. No PVH-specific catalyst within 30d; binary is the…
PYPL
freshNarrative still broken post-2026-05-05 Q1 (Q2 transaction-margin dollars guided to DECLINE); price stuck below 50/200-day in a death-cross. The 2026-05-29 "beaten-down bounceback" media chatter is bottom-fishing, not a momentum leg.…
RUM
freshAI-neocloud pivot accelerating: $270M Blackwell B300 GPU contract (2026-06-04, largest ever) + Northern Data''s 22,400 GPUs closing mid-June + hyperscaler-compete cloud launch. But tape just printed +26%→+5.5% spike-and-fade near 52w highs…
SABR
freshBeaten-down legacy GDS re-rating off the $0.81 low on a deleveraging turnaround — Q1 (5/7) beat (rev +8%, EBITDA +21%), maturity wall pushed to 2029+, 12.4% [trade redacted] YoY) = squeeze fuel; SabreMosaic AI airline-retailing is the…
SG
freshBeaten-down fast-casual turnaround: JPM''s contrarian Overweight ($13 PT, 2026-05-22) plus the Wraps/Infinite-Kitchen story drove a +39% YTD bounce to ~$9.63, but Q1 comps [trade redacted] and the next proof point isn''t until the Aug 6…
SHOO
freshTariff-recovery ("worst is behind us") narrative is PLAYED OUT, not accelerating: SHOO round-tripped $22→$44 and now sits ON the $43.88 consensus PT. Q1 +18% rev is Kurt Geiger M&A; organic DTC only +8% and adjusted EPS FELL to $0.45 from…
SNEX
StoneX is a quiet legacy FCM/brokerage compounder with thin digital-asset optionality; no accelerating narrative right now and bearish 2026-04-16 "stocks to dump" mention. DORMANT — no fresh entry thesis into ~2026-05-07 fiscal-Q2 print.
SXC
freshCoal-policy sympathy squeeze: SXC ripped ~+70% off lows to a 52-wk high on Trump''s 2026-06-03 $700M coal push, but RSI ~80 and that funding hits an Oakland terminal + thermal plants, not SXC''s met-coke core. Extended +34% over the…
TBLA
freshLegacy open-web ad network repricing as an agentic-AI ad platform (Realize+ + Claude Skills, launched 2026-04-23) on a Q1 beat-and-raise (2026-05-07). But only ~6% revenue growth and a ~$77M one-time legal windfall flatter the print.…
TOI
freshValue-based oncology turnaround inflecting to first-ever profitability: Q1''26 revenue +41% YoY, Florida capitation turned profit, FY26 adj-EBITDA guide raised to $0–9M. Stock tripled off $2.02 low; today''s +12.4% squeezes an 11% short…
TXG
freshLegacy single-cell franchise pivoting to spatial biology with 2026-04-20 Atera launch + clustered sell-side PT raises ($24→$30→$32). Narrative is nascent, not accelerating; price structure still multi-year downtrend. Probe only on…
UMC
freshLegacy #3 mature-node foundry grinding to a 52-wk high (2026-05-27) on the Intel 12nm Arizona JV (2027 prod) + first-ever 14nm FinFET display-driver platform (2026-05-14). Real pivot, but a slow low-beta ADR — catalyst is years out and…
UNHG
fresh2x daily-reset leveraged proxy on UnitedHealth's managed-care margin recovery. UNH +~50% off 2025 crash lows to $377 (2026-06-03), but the easy leg is spent — avg analyst PT $404 sits at spot, Berkshire fully exited May-2026, DOJ probe…
XRX
freshActivist-catalyzed distressed turnaround: STARTEEPO Invest lifted its stake to >6% (3rd-largest holder, 13D/A 2026-06-01) on a Lexmark-synergy + deleveraging bet. Stock +193% off the $1.19 low to ~$3.49 — but it''s a 7x-levered net-loss…
