Bollinger Squeeze
Bollinger band width (11.1%) is in the bottom quartile of its last 120 sessions — Legend's width-percentile squeeze (not a TTM/Keltner squeeze), so volatility is compressed and a sharper move often follows.
Early technical context only. Wait for price, volume, and the canonical setup trigger to confirm; this signal does not change readiness or the setup score.

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 $5.41 vs MA50 $5.74
- Minervini 2. ROE ≥ 17% — ROE -8.9%
- O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 77
- O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev -5.0% | ROE -8.9%
- Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.76x
- Weinstein 30-week MA trending upward
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 50-day MA.
- 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.

Legend Score · rates the stock
Strong (66/100) — 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%) 78
- Trend Template (25%) 88
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 63
- EPS Growth (15%) 40
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 38
RS rank 77: above-average strength. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 63: mild accumulation. EPS growth reads +9%, but trailing earnings are negative — that percentage is an artifact, capped. Quality 38: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 60). Updated 2026-10-22.

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:

Separate score from the Minervini Trend Template (7/8): 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.
