What would change this verdict

What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:

  • Minervini 1.2 150-day MA > 200-day MA — MA150 $243.89 vs MA200 $251.83
  • Minervini 1.7 Price within 25% of 52-week high — 28.9% below 52-week high
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — -1.7% QoQ
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 18
  • Weinstein Stage 2 (Advancing phase) confirmed — Stage 3 (Topping)
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.70x
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails 150-day MA > 200-day MA.
  • O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
  • Weinstein: avoid Stage-analysis read: topping (Stage 3) is not an advancing Stage 2.
42 Weak
Legend Score · rates the stock Weak (42/100) — held back by relative strength

Our proprietary 0-100 rating — the answer to Wall Street's black-box scores. Five pillars, each computed from real scan data, each explained below in plain English.

  • Relative Strength (25%) 17
  • Trend Template (25%) 50
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 72
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 45

RS rank 18: lagging the market — leaders don't look like this. Trend template 4/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 72: mild accumulation. EPS -0% last quarter — no earnings momentum. Quality 45: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 42, leverage 100). Updated 2026-10-27.

Legend Verdicts 6 methodology checks

Who would consider this setup, why it qualifies, and what blocks it — calculated from the same deterministic methodology rules used across Legend AI.
How to read the numbers: the setup score (0/100, in the verdict band) rates this trade setup. Each legend's A–D grade rates the same setup against that legend's own checklist — so a high score next to a C grade is not a contradiction. The setup can be strong without fitting that legend's style. When the council disagrees, the verdict band breaks the tie.

Council consensus: 5 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.

Darvas C · Watch — The deterministic methodology check is Watch; wait for the failing or incomplete criteria to improve before the trigger can qualify.
Pivot
Pro level
Published-method rule: Use the top of the active Darvas box near the high as the mechanical breakout boundary.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Require price to clear the box top with volume confirmation; movement inside the box remains observation, not a trigger.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Initial stop

Published-method rule: Start below the active box support or the canonical structural stop that proves the breakout failed.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail
Rule-based
Published-method rule: As higher boxes form, raise the stop beneath the newest confirmed box floor; the stop moves up only.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.
Exit / invalidation

Published-method rule: Exit when price breaks the active box floor or decisively falls back through the breakout structure.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish forming
75% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~190.12 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~85.71. A push back above 266.10 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 294.53 invalidates it.

Head 294.53

LS 275.44 / head 294.53 / RS 266.10, neckline ~190.12, vol_fading=no

Predictive pattern recognition is educational — most forming structures never confirm. Wait for the confirmation level before treating this as a setup.
