What would change this verdict
What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:
- Minervini 1.1 Price > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA — Price $249.09, MA150 $251.03, MA200 $243.31
- Minervini 1.5 Price > 50-day MA — Price $249.09 vs MA50 $255.38
- O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — -17.4% QoQ
- O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 64
- Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.94x
- Dennis S1: 20-day Donchian breakout
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA.
- O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
- Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 1 supporting checks need improvement.

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.
