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% — +16.0% QoQ
  • Minervini 2. ROE ≥ 17% — ROE -13.9%
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — +16.0% QoQ
  • O'Neil S: Base tightness (ATR% ≤ 4.5%) — ATR% 5.73%
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.90x
  • Dennis S1: 20-day Donchian breakout
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: watch Trend-template read: 10/12 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; 1 supporting checks need improvement.
65 Strong
Legend Score · rates the stock Strong (65/100) — 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%) 94
  • Trend Template (25%) 100
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 37
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 32

RS rank 93: top 7% of all stocks — true leadership. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 37: mild distribution — sellers active. EPS growth reads +0%, but trailing earnings are negative — that percentage is an artifact, capped. Quality 32: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 20). 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: 7 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.
