$NAVN - High Tight Flag setup

Just found this via one of my Kullamägi screens.

Navan Inc: NAVN

IPO: October 30, 2025
3-month Relative Strength: 97.64
Sector: Consumer Discretionary
Industry: Hotels, Resorts & Cruise Lines

It is showing a constructive high-tight consolidation after a strong momentum move.

The recent consolidation is tight, respecting the EMA9. Price is forming a small pennant / volatility contraction pattern just below the recent high.

The candles are relatively narrow, and the stock is holding near the top of the prior advance.

I do NOT have a position in this stock.

PLAB | Breakout in a Top-Tier Industry Group (CRS 95+ / Decent FA Score)

Photronics Inc. ($PLAB) popped up from my screen today, and the chart looks like a textbook momentum play.

I’m filtering for stocks that are leaders in strong sectors:

  • Industry Strength: >= 70
  • Industry Growth: >= 80
  • Relative Strength (CRS): 80+ (Extremely high compared to the rest of the market)
  • Fundamentals: FA Rating of 6/10 or higher.
  • Liquidity/Trend: Common stock only, >300M Market Cap, and positive Long/Short-term trends.

Only 41 stocks...

Technical Breakdown

  • The Breakout: $PLAB just cleared a key resistance level (~$52.80) on May 8th.
  • Volume: The breakout was confirmed with above-average volume.
  • Moving Averages: The stock is trending beautifully above the EMA 9 and EMA 21. It’s showing very little "overhead supply" at these levels.
  • Relative Strength: With a CRS of 95, it’s outperforming nearly the entire market. It has been forming a constructive base and is now accelerating.

Fundamental Context

  • EPS Growth: Looking at the quarterly data, the most recent quarter (Q1/26) showed an EPS of 0.61 (up 17.31% Q2Q).
  • Sales: Sales growth has turned positive (6.09% last quarter), showing a reversal from previous negative comparisons.
  • Estimate Revision: Analysts are looking at 0.55 for the upcoming quarter (May 27th), and the stock seems to be pricing in a beat.

Industry Group Strength

One of the most bullish things here is the Industry Strength/Growth (100/100 & 86/100) combo . We know that 50% of a stock's move is tied to its group, and PLAB is currently sitting in a high-growth, high-strength pocket of the market.

As long as it holds the EMA 21 and the breakout level, the path of least resistance looks higher.

Unfortunately, as far as my personal stock portfolio is concerned, I am already more than 50% exposed to the information technology sector (Nvidia and Microsoft)...

Excluding the information Technology sector leaves me with just 11 stocks!

What about Check Point Software?

Cybersecurity stocks performed exceptionally well yesterday.

Check Point Software is the odd one out here... I'm going to take a closer look at it, as at first glance this stock seems to have been punished too harshly?

Anyone following this stock?

Not financial advice. Do your own research. I'm sharing my personal analysis, not telling you what to do with your money.

Found this setup using my Canslim/Minervini screens after yesterday's close.

Q2/26 earnings drop tomorrow, May 6. That's the first thing to say about $SNEX, because it shapes everything else. I'm not buying ahead of the report. Doesn't matter how good the chart looks, earnings are the one wildcard that makes your technical read temporarily irrelevant, and this one has a high bar to clear.

That said, I think the post-earnings setup could be one of the cleaner ones I've seen in a while.

The chart

$SNEX has been in a Stage 2 uptrend since it broke out of its base near the $75 area earlier this year. It ran hard, made it to $105.88 as of yesterday's close, and has been consolidating in a tight range just below resistance at $106.14 for the past few weeks. Support has held consistently above $103.65. That's a range of about 2.5%, price action that tells me supply is drying up near the highs.

Moving averages are properly stacked: price above the 50-day, 50-day above the 200-day, both trending upward. ChartMill Relative Strength is 91.04, so it's in the top 9% of the market. From the 52-week low near $63 to current levels, the stock is up roughly 68%. All of that checks out against the Minervini Trend Template.

If you're not familiar with the template, it's an 8-point checklist that confirms whether a stock is in a genuine Stage 2 uptrend. $SNEX clears all eight.

The fundamentals

After a soft patch in mid-2025, growth reaccelerated sharply:

  • Q4/25: EPS $1.05 (+1.51% QoQ, +5.68% surprise), not exciting
  • Q1/26: EPS $1.67 (+47.64% QoQ, +23.91% surprise), that got my attention

Revenue did the same thing: $724.4M in Q1/26, up 47.21% versus the prior quarter, with a 14.87% positive surprise. Reaccelerating EPS and revenue after a lull is exactly the kind of momentum I'm looking for.

Tomorrow's consensus estimate is EPS of $1.52 on $665.68M in sales, implying 61.30% year-over-year growth. High bar.

Why I'm not buying before the open tomorrow

The setup is clean. The fundamentals are strong. I'm still waiting.

A strong earnings gap is not a clean entry by the standards I follow. The spread between the prior close and a gap-up open represents volatility I can't control and risk I can't properly size. Where do I put my stop? The numbers stop making sense.

What I'm actually watching for

If the results beat and the stock gaps up or breaks out above $106.15 on heavy volume, I'll wait for a retest of that breakout level. That's the entry I want.

After a strong earnings gap, price often comes back to test the area it just broke through. If $SNEX gaps above $106-107 and then pulls back to retest that zone on declining volume, holds the level and bounces, that's my signal. Volume contracting on the pullback means the sellers are gone. That retest gives me a proper pivot point, a tight stop, and a setup I can actually size correctly.

If the results disappoint and the stock sells off hard, I walk away. A failed earnings reaction doesn't get fixed overnight. Let it form a new base. I can revisit in four to eight weeks.

Curious if others have been watching SNEX. What's your read on the setup post-earnings?

I'm not a financial advisor. This is my personal analysis using CANSLIM basics, together with the Minervini SEPA framework. Do your own due diligence before putting any money to work.

Spotted this one through my CANSLIM-MINERVINI screen and wanted to share it before the Q1 report drops tomorrow (May 5).

The technical picture

DHT clears all 8 conditions of Minervini's Trend Template. Price sits at 18.87, above the 50MA (18.3), 150MA (14.74), and 200MA (13.98). The 200MA has been trending up for months. DHT is more than 55% above its 52-week low from early January (~12.10), and currently trades within 8% of its March peak at 20.50. Relative Strength (ChartMill Score) above 90.

After a strong January-to-March move from ~12.20 to 20.50 (+68%), the stock has been consolidating for seven weeks. The pattern is clean: smaller swings each time, volume drying up during pullbacks, the 50MA and 10MA catching up underneath. Pivot sits around 19.00-19.20, still about 8% below the prior high.

This is what Minervini calls a Cheat entry. You buy the breakout from the consolidation before the stock pushes to new highs. The upside: tighter stop, better risk/reward than waiting for a clean all-time-high breakout. The downside: less confirmation.

The fundamental side

EPS over the last few quarters:

  • Q4/24: $0.34 (+54.5% QoQ, ~80% beat)
  • Q1/25 through Q2/25: declines and misses
  • Q4/25: $0.41, acceleration resumes
  • Q1/26 estimate: $0.58 (+284% QoQ)

Revenue followed the same arc. Q4/25 came in at $117.8M (+37.7% QoQ), and Q1/26 estimates point to $145.36M. The dip through mid-2025 was real and ugly on paper, but Q4/25 into Q1/26 is exactly the kind of reacceleration that CANSLIM screens are built to surface.

The problem

That Q1 report hits tomorrow. The consensus is aggressive: +284% QoQ on EPS, +83% on revenue surprise. If DHT delivers and guides well, you probably see a gap through the pivot. If it misses or guidance disappoints, the setup breaks.

Stop below the consolidation lows around 17.50. Risk from the pivot: roughly 9%. A bit wide for a strict Minervini setup, but the earnings context makes post-announcement timing the cleaner approach anyway.

Not a recommendation. Just a setup on my watchlist.
