What would change this verdict

What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:

  • Minervini 1.5 Price > 50-day MA — Price $58.72 vs MA50 $59.40
  • Minervini 2. ROE ≥ 17% — ROE 11.0%
  • O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev +13.8% | ROE 11.0%
  • O'Neil N: Near 52-week high or RS line new high — 20.2% below high | RS line new high: False
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.45x
  • Weinstein 30-week MA trending upward
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 50-day MA.
  • O'Neil: watch CANSLIM read: 2/8 pass; improvement is still needed.
  • Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.
65 Neutral
Legend Score · rates the stock Neutral (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%) 99
  • Trend Template (25%) 88
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 34
  • EPS Growth (15%) 31
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44

RS rank 98: top 2% of all stocks — true leadership. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 34: mild distribution — sellers active. EPS growth reads +0%, but trailing earnings are negative — that percentage is an artifact, capped. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 100). Updated 2026-10-27.

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

Pivot

Published-method rule: Use the tight base's structural pivot; the setup must retain Trend Template leadership into the trigger.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Require a decisive move through the pivot with volume confirmation, and do not initiate more than 5% above it.

Initial stop

Published-method rule: Start at the tighter structural invalidation; the initial loss limit must not exceed roughly 7–8% from entry.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail
Rule-based
Published-method rule: Hold the initial stop until the trade proves itself; near +1R move to breakeven, then trail a higher low or rising 10/21-day average once well extended.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.
Exit / invalidation

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Inverse Head & Shoulders bullish forming
80% built

Possible inverse head & shoulders — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close above ~67.12 (neckline) to confirm, with a measured move toward ~88.54. A drop under the right shoulder near 55.02 weakens the structure; a close below the head near 45.70 invalidates it.

Head & Shoulders bearish forming
75% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~54.25 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~34.94. A push back above 59.40 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 73.56 invalidates it.
