66 Strong
Legend Score · rates the stock Strong (66/100) — 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%) 74
  • Trend Template (25%) 100
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 60
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 39

RS rank 74: above-average strength. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 60: neutral — no clear institutional conviction. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 39: weak fundamentals (sales growth 31, return on equity 41, leverage 60). Updated 2026-10-15.

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 (55/100, 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: 7 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.
