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 $89.05 vs MA200 $89.48
- Minervini 1.4 50-day MA > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA — MA50 $89.35, MA150 $89.05, MA200 $89.48
- O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — +2.1% QoQ
- O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 63
- Weinstein Stage 2 (Advancing phase) confirmed — Stage 3 (Topping)
- Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 1.13x
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: avoid Stage-analysis read: topping (Stage 3) is not an advancing Stage 2.

Neutral (52/100) — 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%) 63
- Trend Template (25%) 62
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 50
- EPS Growth (15%) 30
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 39
RS rank 63: above-average strength. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 50: neutral — no clear institutional conviction. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 39: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 59, leverage 20). Updated 2026-10-21.

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:
