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 $168.43, MA150 $169.25, MA200 $167.77
- Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 53
- O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — -37.7% QoQ
- O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 53
- Weinstein Relative strength ≥ 60 — RS 53
- Weinstein Stage 1→2 breakout on expanding volume
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; 3 supporting checks need improvement.

Neutral (53/100) — 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%) 53
- Trend Template (25%) 62
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 63
- EPS Growth (15%) 30
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44
RS rank 53: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 63: mild accumulation. EPS -0% last quarter — no earnings momentum. 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 (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:

Separate score from the Minervini Trend Template (5/8): the Trend Template grades the price structure, this grades the company & leadership (earnings, sales, margins, RS rank). A stock can ride a clean trend while its fundamentals lag, so the two often differ by design — they are not the same checklist.
