62 Neutral
Legend Score · rates the stock Neutral (62/100) — held back by eps growth

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%) 64
  • Trend Template (25%) 88
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 62
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44

RS rank 64: above-average strength. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 62: mild accumulation. EPS -0% last quarter — no earnings momentum. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 41, leverage 100). Updated 2026-10-22.

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 (76/100, 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: 6 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish forming

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~225.55 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~163.90. A push back above 267.56 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 287.20 invalidates it.
