What would change this verdict

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

  • Minervini 2. Revenue growth ≥ 20% YoY — -1.9% YoY
  • O'Neil M: Market in confirmed uptrend — Market phase: uptrend_under_pressure
  • O'Neil S: Volume ≥ 40% above average on breakout
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.86x
  • Weinstein Weekly price coiling (Stage 2 consolidation) — Tightening weekly range confirms base
  • Dennis S1: 20-day Donchian breakout
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: watch Trend-template read: 11/12 pass; wait for the soft misses to improve.
  • O'Neil: watch CANSLIM read: 5/8 pass; improvement is still needed.
  • Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.
72 Strong
Legend Score · rates the stock Strong (72/100) — 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%) 87
  • Trend Template (25%) 100
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 70
  • EPS Growth (15%) 32
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44

RS rank 86: beating most of the market. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 70: mild accumulation. EPS up +1% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 41, 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 (95/100, 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: 8 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.

dennis Watch C Turtle read: no breakout yet. Price is pressing the 20-day high. The system waits for the print; it never anticipates.

partialTurtle System 1: buy the 20-day-high breakout. No prediction, just the signal. Size the position so a 2N stop (N = 20-day ATR) risks about 2% of equity, and add at 0.5N intervals up to 4 units. The system exits at the 10-day low; the plan is set before the trade.

O'Neil C · Watch — The deterministic methodology check is Watch; wait for the failing or incomplete criteria to improve before the trigger can qualify.
Pivot
Pro level
Published-method rule: Use the proper base pivot or handle high after CANSLIM leadership and market-direction checks are satisfied.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Require a breakout through the pivot on volume at least 40% above average; the valid buy zone ends 5% above the pivot.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Initial stop
Pro level
Published-method rule: Use the setup's structural stop with a hard 7–8% maximum-loss ceiling from the actual entry.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail
Rule-based
Published-method rule: Protect progress under constructive support such as the 21-day or 10-week line; a stop may ratchet higher but never lower.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.
Exit / invalidation
Pro level
Published-method rule: Exit on the hard loss limit, a decisive support break, or a rule-based climax/distribution signal; a normal 20–25% advance is reviewed rather than assumed permanent.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
