Price made a lower low ($67.66→$59.91) while MACD made a higher low (-1.50→-1.09). Treat it as early momentum evidence until price confirms a turn.
Early technical context only. Wait for price, volume, and the canonical setup trigger to confirm; this signal does not change readiness or the setup score.

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 $65.88, MA150 $65.10, MA200 $66.73
- Minervini 1.2 150-day MA > 200-day MA — MA150 $65.10 vs MA200 $66.73
- O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — -23.0% QoQ
- O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 21
- Weinstein Stage 2 (Advancing phase) confirmed — Stage 3 (Topping)
- Weinstein Price above 30-week MA (200-day proxy) — Price $65.88 vs MA200 $66.73
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: avoid Stage-analysis read: topping (Stage 3) is not an advancing Stage 2.

Weak (42/100) — 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%) 20
- Trend Template (25%) 50
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 67
- EPS Growth (15%) 30
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44
RS rank 21: lagging the market — leaders don't look like this. Trend template 4/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 67: mild accumulation. EPS -0% last quarter — no earnings momentum. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 100). Updated 2026-10-28.

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:
