⚠ Risk Signals

Head & Shoulders Top Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~74.22 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~56.59. A push back above 88.36 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 91.85 invalidates it.

Bearish structure on the daily chart — a heads-up for anyone holding, not a short signal. Does not affect the bullish setup score.

49 Weak

Legend Score · rates the stock Weak (49/100) — 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%) 69
Trend Template (25%) 62
Institutional Footprint (20%) 35
EPS Growth (15%) 30
Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 32

RS rank 69: above-average strength. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 35: mild distribution — sellers active. EPS -0% last quarter — no earnings momentum. Quality 32: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 20). Updated 2026-10-16.

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: 7 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.

Pivot

Pro level

Published-method rule: Use Stage 1 resistance and the rising 30-week moving average as the Stage 2 transition boundary.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Entry trigger

Pro level

Published-method rule: Require a Stage 2 breakout above resistance on expanding volume; avoid entries while the 30-week average is flat or falling.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Initial stop

Pro level

Published-method rule: Start below the breakout structure or Stage 1 support where a return to the base invalidates the Stage 2 transition.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Trail

Rule-based

Published-method rule: Trail beneath rising 30-week support or later higher swing lows while Stage 2 remains intact.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.

Exit / invalidation

Pro level

Published-method rule: Exit on a decisive 30-week support failure or a Stage 3/Stage 4 transition; never treat a failed Stage 2 break as healthy consolidation.
