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 $97.29 vs MA200 $97.36
  • Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 65
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — +10.5% QoQ
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 65
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 1.03x
  • Weinstein Weekly price coiling (Stage 2 consolidation) — Tightening weekly range confirms base
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails 150-day MA > 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.
57 Neutral
Legend Score · rates the stock Neutral (57/100) — 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%) 62
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 69
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44

RS rank 65: above-average strength. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 69: mild accumulation. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, 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.
