Bollinger Lower-Band Support
Price ($123.22) is holding just above the lower Bollinger band ($121.17; %B 16) — support at the bottom of the bands.
Early technical context only. Wait for price, volume, and the canonical setup trigger to confirm; this signal does not change readiness or the setup score.

- Trend Template (25%) 75
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 49
- EPS Growth (15%) 50
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 30
RS rank 59: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 6/8: passes the uptrend screen, structure intact. Institutional score 49: neutral — no clear institutional conviction. No recent earnings growth data — scored neutral. Quality 30: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30). Updated 2026-10-19.

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 (70/100, 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.

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.
