Legend Score · rates the stock
Strong (65/100) — 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%) 72
- Trend Template (25%) 100
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 59
- EPS Growth (15%) 30
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 38
RS rank 72: above-average strength. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 59: neutral — no clear institutional conviction. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 38: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 60). Updated 2026-10-07.

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 (81/100, 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.
