HSR Exhaustion & Exit Signals

Energy — 15-Name HSR Cluster · Exit All

PBR (+8.6) · BP (+8.1) · TDW (+8.0) · KOS (+7.9) · SM (+7.9) + 10 further Energy HSR

No Quantmatix long signal exists in the sector — total exit mandate.

Industrials HSR

MTZ (+9.1) — highest HSR score in universe · PWR (+8.3) — reduce both

IT HSR — Exit Despite IT Breadth Leadership

VIAV (+8.3) · VSAT (+7.9) · FSLY (+7.1)

Consumer Disc & Financials HSR

CAVA (+8.3) · ROST (+7.4) · FCFS (+8.4) — reduce into strength

Top Q Negative — 8 Exit Signals

BCRX (BioCryst) — QScore +8.71 · QChg −0.71 · $9.01 · Earn 6 May · Primary single-stock reduce

Utilities cluster: AEE +7.14 / DTE +6.57 (⚠ earn 30 Apr) / WEC +6.00 / AWK +4.14 (⚠ earn 29 Apr) · XLU +5.86 · IDU +5.43 — exit ETF Utilities now


Imperative — Tactical Call to Action

1 — Initiate / Add: GRAL, HEI, DHR, PLNT, BHVN

Top 5 by EV are the highest-conviction longs from today's data. GRAL's 100%* TP1 should be treated as directionally positive rather than statistically definitive — size accordingly. DHR and HEI carry no near-term earnings risk; full position sizing is supported.

2 — Add Sector Exposure via ACN (IT) and VRTS (Financials)

IT at 85.4% and Financials at 84.1% advancing are the Max Overweight sectors. ACN (Top Q Positive, 80% T1) is the primary IT long. VRTS earns 1 May — size conservatively and re-evaluate post-earnings.

3 — Exit All Energy Positions Now

15 HSR signals in a single sector is the most concentrated exhaustion reading in today's universe. PBR, BP, TDW, KOS, SM and 10 additional names are all at score ceiling with Negative reversal direction. This is a total exit mandate.

4 — Reduce MTZ, CAVA, FCFS · Exit Utilities

MTZ leads the HSR reduce list at +9.1 — the highest exhaustion reading outside Energy. CAVA (+8.3) and FCFS (+8.4) are near score ceiling. GEV and SRE in Utilities should be exited on any bounce. Utilities at 14.5% advancing is the weakest breadth reading in the universe.
