The Chart of the Day belongs to the Chinese Internet retailer Pinduoduo (PDD) (Yes I realize it is headquartered in Ireland). I found the stock by using Barchart's powerful screening functions to find stocks with the highest technical buy signals, highest Weighted Alpha, superior current momentum and having a Trend Seeker buy signal then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. The Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 9/27.

Analysts and Investor Sentiment -- I don't buy stocks because everyone else is buying but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock it's hard to make money swimming against the tide:
- Wall street analysts issued 31 strong buy, 9 buy and 3 hold opinions on the stock
- Analysts; price targets ate between $120 and $235 with a consensus of $164
- Value Line gave the stock its average rating of 3
- CFRAs MarketScope rates the stock a 4 star strong buy and comments:" We expect PDD’s value-for-money proposition to appeal to consumers globally amid rising living costs. Its strategy of cultivating merchants to expand its value-for-money products and strong supply chain create significant competitive advantages."
- MorningStar give the stock its above average rating of 4 with a Fair Value of $171 or 20% under valued and comments:" To fence off challenges, PDD will invest resolutely into the business. We believe this is a negative read-across for peers as this means more competition, and it will result in higher costs and lower margin for Alibaba Group and JD.com in order to maintain their GMV growth."
