What would change this verdict

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

Minervini 2. ROE ≥ 17% — ROE 15.2%
Minervini 2. Revenue growth ≥ 20% YoY — +7.6% YoY
O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev +7.6% | ROE 15.2%
O'Neil M: Market in confirmed uptrend — Market phase: uptrend_under_pressure
Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.91x
Weinstein Weekly price coiling (Stage 2 consolidation) — Tightening weekly range confirms base

Minority view — the council disagrees here

Minervini: watch Trend-template read: 10/12 pass; wait for the soft misses to improve.
O'Neil: watch CANSLIM read: 4/8 pass; improvement is still needed.
Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.

70 Strong

Legend Score · rates the stock Strong (70/100) — 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%) 81
Trend Template (25%) 100
Institutional Footprint (20%) 66
EPS Growth (15%) 32
Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44

RS rank 80: beating most of the market. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 66: mild accumulation. EPS up +1% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 41, 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 (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: 9 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.
