What would change this verdict

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

  • Minervini 2. Revenue growth ≥ 20% YoY — +4.1% YoY
  • Minervini 4. Breakout volume ≥ 40% above average
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 71
  • O'Neil M: Market in confirmed uptrend — Market phase: uptrend_under_pressure
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 1.25x
  • Weinstein Weekly price coiling (Stage 2 consolidation) — Tightening weekly range confirms base
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: watch Trend-template read: 11/13 pass; wait for the soft misses to improve.
  • O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership).
  • Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.
63 Neutral
Legend Score · rates the stock Neutral (63/100) — 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%) 71
  • Trend Template (25%) 100
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 42
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44

RS rank 71: above-average strength. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 42: neutral — no clear institutional conviction. EPS up +0% — 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 (73/100, 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.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish forming
75% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~140.83 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~121.25. A push back above 148.35 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 160.41 invalidates it.

LS 157.06 / head 160.41 / RS 148.35, neckline ~140.83, vol_fading=no

Predictive pattern recognition is educational — most forming structures never confirm. Wait for the confirmation level before treating this as a setup.
