What would change this verdict
What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:
- Minervini 1.1 Price > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA — Price $90.47, MA150 $99.21, MA200 $86.06
- Minervini 1.5 Price > 50-day MA — Price $90.47 vs MA50 $101.87
- O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev -0.5% | ROE -10.8%
- O'Neil N: Near 52-week high or RS line new high — 36.4% below high | RS line new high: False
- Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.98x
- Weinstein Not extended from 52-week high (≤ 30% below) — 36.4% below 52-week high
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 150-day MA AND 200-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.

Legend Score · rates the stock
Neutral (64/100) — 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%) 96
- Trend Template (25%) 88
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 36
- EPS Growth (15%) 31
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44
RS rank 95: top 5% of all stocks — true leadership. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 36: 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 2026-10-12.

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 (65/100, 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.

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).
