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 $121.04, MA150 $130.77, MA200 $126.43
  • Minervini 1.5 Price > 50-day MA — Price $121.04 vs MA50 $130.88
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — +2.9% QoQ
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 65
  • Weinstein Price above 30-week MA (200-day proxy) — Price $121.04 vs MA200 $126.43

55 Neutral
Legend Score · rates the stock Neutral (55/100) — 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%) 65
  • Trend Template (25%) 88
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 36
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 32

RS rank 65: above-average strength. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 36: mild distribution — sellers active. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 32: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 20). Updated 2026-09-28.

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 (69/100, 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.
