72 Strong
Legend Score · rates the stock Strong (72/100) — held back by quality (smr-like)

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%) 93
  • Trend Template (25%) 88
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 71
  • EPS Growth (15%) 50
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 32

RS rank 92: top 8% of all stocks — true leadership. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 71: mild accumulation. No recent earnings growth data — scored neutral. Quality 32: weak fundamentals (sales growth 32). Updated 2026-10-14.

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 (78/100, 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.

Trade it like Zweig EXACT LEVELS · PRO
Zweig D · 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 stock's recent consolidation high — Zweig buys strength in screened growers, not breakdowns.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Buy only when the growth screen passes: EPS growth above the market, PEG ≤ 1.5 (reasonable for the growth), insider buying, and RS leadership.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Initial stop
Pro level
Published-method rule: Define the loss before entry — Zweig's risk rule. Sell when the growth story breaks: earnings decelerate or the valuation stretches past reason.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail
Rule-based
Published-method rule: Hold winners as long as earnings keep growing and the price holds its trend; sell half on a climax run.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.
Exit / invalidation
Pro level
Published-method rule: Exit when EPS growth falls below the market, the PEG stretches past reason, insiders stop buying — or the Super Model flips the market to defensive.
