What would change this verdict

What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:

  • Minervini 1.2 150-day MA > 200-day MA — MA150 $159.02 vs MA200 $166.82
  • Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 41
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 41
  • O'Neil N: Near 52-week high or RS line new high — 23.0% below high | RS line new high: False
  • Weinstein Stage 2 (Advancing phase) confirmed — Stage 3 (Topping)
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.80x
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails 150-day MA > 200-day MA.
  • O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership).
  • Weinstein: avoid Stage-analysis read: topping (Stage 3) is not an advancing Stage 2.
50 Weak
Legend Score · rates the stock Weak (50/100) — 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%) 41
  • Trend Template (25%) 62
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 67
  • EPS Growth (15%) 31
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 39

RS rank 41: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 67: mild accumulation. EPS up +1% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 39: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 42, leverage 60). Updated 2026-10-27.

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 (0/100, 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.

Pivot
Pro level
Published-method rule: Use the tight base's structural pivot; the setup must retain Trend Template leadership into the trigger.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Require a decisive move through the pivot with volume confirmation, and do not initiate more than 5% above it.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Initial stop
Pro level
Published-method rule: Start at the tighter structural invalidation; the initial loss limit must not exceed roughly 7–8% from entry.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail
Rule-based
Published-method rule: Hold the initial stop until the trade proves itself; near +1R move to breakeven, then trail a higher low or rising 10/21-day average once well extended.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.
Exit / invalidation
Pro level
Published-method rule: Exit when the structural stop or a meaningful higher-low/short-term trend violation fires; never widen the stop.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish forming
75% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~171.44 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~155.98. A push back above 175.20 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 186.91 invalidates it.

Cup & Handle bullish early

Cup base building — 74% of the 32%-deep cup recovered. Watch for the right side to reach ~197.38, then a handle.
