I’m always looking for tickers that have a strong confluence between technical and fundamental factors – and that earn multiple stars in my Five Star scoring system. Let’s talk about one of the cleaner setups I’m eyeing right now in NeoGenomics Inc. (NEO), writes Danielle Shay, editor of Five Star Trader.
The stock has already shown it can gap and run after earnings. The fundamental story is improving in plain sight. And the chart is lining up another potential catalyst window into late October.
Look at the last two earnings reports. After the April 28 Q1 print, NEO gapped 13.6%. After the July 28 Q2 print, it gapped 15.4%. Those are back-to-back breakaway gaps followed by post-earnings momentum — exactly the kind of price action I love to see going into the next quarter’s earnings report.

The Five Star earnings stats back it up: Eight-for-eight quarters in the history window, seven-for-seven beats with zero misses on the recent streak, and a green trend reading. The stock is also in a squeeze, with earnings expected around Oct. 27 (not yet confirmed).
Add a short float in the mid-teens, and you have the ingredients I look for. They include a name that has already proven it can explode higher on good numbers, compressed volatility, a defined catalyst, and a decent amount of fuel from shorts if it gaps again.
