What would change this verdict

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

  • Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 31
  • Minervini Stage 2 confirmed (Weinstein cross-check) — Stage 3
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — -13.4% QoQ
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 31
  • Weinstein Stage 2 (Advancing phase) confirmed — Stage 3 (Topping)
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.71x
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: watch Trend-template read: 5/10 pass; wait for the soft misses to improve.
  • O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
  • Weinstein: avoid Stage-analysis read: topping (Stage 3) is not an advancing Stage 2.
47 Weak
Legend Score · rates the stock Weak (47/100) — 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%) 31
  • Trend Template (25%) 62
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 63
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44

RS rank 31: lagging the market — leaders don't look like this. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 63: mild accumulation. 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: 6 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.

Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish near confirmation
90% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~24.10 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~20.11. A push back above 26.44 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 28.09 invalidates it.

Invalidates at 28.09
Left Shoulder 27.13
Head 28.09

Neckline 24.10

LS 27.13 / head 28.09 / RS 26.44, neckline ~24.10, vol_fading=no

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