Turnarounds are Lynch's highest-risk, highest-reward category: beaten-down companies with a plausible path back to profit. This screen requires P/S ≤ 1 (depressed valuation), forward P/E between 1 and 25 (the market still expects profits to return) and a current ratio ≥ 1.5 (enough liquidity to survive the turnaround).
The ranking signal is insider net buying over the last 90 days — management buying open-market shares at trough prices is the classic tell that insiders believe the recovery story. The list is ordered by real dollars bought, not press releases.
| # | Company | Price | Day % | Insider buying (90D) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | LEN | $80.01 | -2.56% | $136.38M |
| 2 | APTV | $43.46 | -1.16% | $8.25M |
| 3 | CMC | $63.58 | +1.37% | $604,468 |
| 4 | DINO | $113.41 | +0.63% | $523,648 |
| 5 | ZUMZ | $13.29 | -1.41% | $134,000 |
Cheap stocks are usually cheap for a reason. Insider open-market buying is evidence the people closest to the business disagree with the market's pessimism — it converts "cheap" into "cheap with a catalyst".
Companies with no expected profits (no meaningful forward P/E) and companies already priced for full recovery. The band targets the gap between "broken" and "fixed".
