Separate score from the 8-point Trend Template (5/8): the Trend Template grades the price structure, this grades the company & leadership (earnings, sales, margins, RS rank). A stock can ride a clean trend while its fundamentals lag, so the two often differ by design — they are not the same checklist.

Possible inverse head & shoulders — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close above ~330.64 (neckline) to confirm, with a measured move toward ~424.56. A drop under the right shoulder near 270.00 weakens the structure; a close below the head near 236.73 invalidates it.
