What would change this verdict
What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:
- Minervini 1.4 50-day MA > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA — MA50 $291.93, MA150 $294.85, MA200 $291.34
- Minervini 2. Quarterly EPS growth ≥ 25% — +20.9% QoQ
- O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — +20.9% QoQ
- O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 78
- Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 1.10x
- Weinstein Weekly price coiling (Stage 2 consolidation) — Tightening weekly range confirms base
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails 50-day MA > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA.
- O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
- Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.

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%) 79
- Trend Template (25%) 88
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 68
- EPS Growth (15%) 30
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 46
RS rank 78: above-average strength. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 68: mild accumulation. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 46: weak fundamentals (sales growth 34, return on equity 41, leverage 100). 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 (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:
6 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.
