BUY now. WBI is pulling back toward support after a -2.53% close, but sentiment and fundamentals skew bullish: options positioning is strongly call-heavy (very low put-call ratios), a top-tier analyst just upgraded to Strong Buy with a $30 target, and the latest reported quarter (2025/Q3) showed strong YoY revenue and earnings growth. With no proprietary signals today, this is more of a sentiment+fundamentals-backed dip-buy near support rather than a confirmed technical breakout.
Trend/structure: Price (22.01) is below the pivot (22.544), indicating short-term weakness/mean reversion risk, but it is still close to first support S1 (21.521). A break below ~21.52 would shift the setup bearish toward S2 (20.889). Momentum: MACD histogram is positive (0.107) but contracting, implying bullish momentum is fading rather than accelerating. RSI(6) at ~47.6 is neutral—no oversold bounce signal yet. Moving averages are converging, consistent with consolidation/indecision rather than a strong trend. Levels: Near-term upside resistance is R1 23.567; a reclaim of the pivot and push toward 23.57 would confirm improving momentum. Given the pullback into the 21.5–22.0 area, the risk/reward is reasonable for an impatient buyer, but it’s not a “high-conviction trend” technical entry—more a support buy.
Analyst catalyst: Raymond James upgraded to Strong Buy (2026-01-
with a $30 price target, framing 2026 as execution-on-tailwinds for midstream.
Options sentiment: Very low put-call ratios on both OI and volume signals bullish trader positioning.
Financial momentum (2025/Q3): Revenue +37.24% YoY, Net Income +109.41% YoY, EPS +100% YoY—strong growth profile supports re-rating potential.
Technical location: Price is near a defined support (S1 ~21.52), which can attract dip-buying.
Technical momentum is weakening: MACD is still positive but contracting, and price is below the pivot—setup is not a confirmed uptrend.
Margin pressure: 2025/Q3 gross margin fell to 28.39% (-5.34% YoY), which can cap multiple expansion if it persists.
No near-term news catalysts: No news in the last week, so upside relies on sentiment, technical rebound, or broader sector strength.
Neutral smart-money signals: Hedge funds and insiders show no significant recent trend; no supportive “follow-the-money” tailwind.
Latest quarter: 2025/Q3. Growth was strong: Revenue rose to 123.25M (+37.24% YoY), Net Income to 6.921M (+109.41% YoY), and EPS to 0.06 (+100% YoY). The key blemish is profitability efficiency: Gross margin declined to 28.39% (-5.34% YoY). Overall, the quarter shows accelerating top-line and bottom-line growth, with a watch item on margins.
Recent trend: Upward. On 2026-01-05, Raymond James upgraded WBI to Strong Buy from Outperform and maintained a $30 price target, citing midstream momentum heading into 2026 but emphasizing execution to convert macro tailwinds into cash flow. Wall Street pro view—Pros: sector tailwinds + confidence in execution + meaningful upside implied vs ~22 stock price. Cons: the focus on execution implies results must validate the thesis; any cash-flow/margin disappointment can quickly pressure shares.
