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 $195.09, MA150 $315.78, MA200 $296.63
- Minervini 1.4 50-day MA > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA — MA50 $274.56, MA150 $315.78, MA200 $296.63
- O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev +22.5%
- O'Neil N: Near 52-week high or RS line new high — 55.7% below high | RS line new high: False
- Weinstein Stage 2 (Advancing phase) confirmed — Stage 1 (Basing)
- Weinstein Price above 30-week MA (200-day proxy) — Price $195.09 vs MA200 $296.63
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA.
- O'Neil: watch CANSLIM read: 3/8 pass; improvement is still needed.
- Weinstein: avoid Stage-analysis read: basing (Stage 1) is not an advancing Stage 2.

Neutral (63/100) — held back by quality (smr-like)
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%) 93
- Trend Template (25%) 62
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 61
- EPS Growth (15%) 50
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 30
RS rank 92: top 8% of all stocks — true leadership. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 61: mild accumulation. No recent earnings growth data — scored neutral. Quality 30: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30). Updated 2026-10-12.

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 (60/100, 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 (4/8): 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.
