What would change this verdict
What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:
- Minervini 1.5 Price > 50-day MA — Price $199.46 vs MA50 $200.58
- Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 63

Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 50-day MA.
- 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.

Legend Score · rates the stock
Neutral (63/100) — held back by quality (smr-like)
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%) 63
- Trend Template (25%) 88
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 65
- EPS Growth (15%) 50
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 30
RS rank 63: above-average strength. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 65: mild accumulation. No recent earnings growth data — scored neutral. Quality 30: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30). 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 (55/100, 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:

Separate score from the Minervini Trend Template (6/8): the Trend Template grades the price structure, this grades the company & leadership (earnings, sales, margins, RS rank). A stock can ride a clean trend while its fundamentals lag, so the two often differ by design — they are not the same checklist.

Highest daily volume since 2026-07-23 — 1,815,393 shares (2.7x average), 2 bars ago, and price action is constructive (closed up on the day).
