What would change this verdict

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

  • Minervini 2. Quarterly EPS growth ≥ 25% — +12.8% QoQ
  • Minervini 2. Revenue growth ≥ 20% YoY — +6.5% YoY
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — +12.8% QoQ
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 76
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 1.29x
  • Weinstein Weekly price coiling (Stage 2 consolidation) — Tightening weekly range confirms base
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: watch Trend-template read: 9/13 pass; wait for the soft misses to improve.
  • O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
  • Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.
67 Strong
Legend Score · rates the stock Strong (67/100) — 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%) 76
  • Trend Template (25%) 100
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 63
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 39

RS rank 76: above-average strength. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 63: mild accumulation. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 39: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 42, leverage 60). 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 (72/100, 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.

Published-method rule: Require a decisive move through the pivot with volume confirmation, and do not initiate more than 5% above it.

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.

Exit / invalidation
