Momentum Turn Watch
Bollinger Squeeze Bollinger band width (14.9%) 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 2. Quarterly EPS growth ≥ 25% — +24.2% QoQ
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — +24.2% QoQ
  • O'Neil S: Base tightness (ATR% ≤ 4.5%) — ATR% 4.58%
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.64x
  • Dennis S1: 20-day Donchian breakout
  • Dennis S2: 55-day Donchian breakout
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: watch Trend-template read: 9/10 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.
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%) 93
  • Trend Template (25%) 100
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 62
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 45

RS rank 92: top 8% of all stocks — true leadership. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 62: mild accumulation. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 45: weak fundamentals (sales growth 31, return on equity 42, 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 (83/100, 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.
Minervini Watch A Trend-template read: 9/10 pass; wait for the soft misses to improve.

Weinstein B · 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 Stage 1 resistance and the rising 30-week moving average as the Stage 2 transition boundary.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Require a Stage 2 breakout above resistance on expanding volume; avoid entries while the 30-week average is flat or falling.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Initial stop

Published-method rule: Start below the breakout structure or Stage 1 support where a return to the base invalidates the Stage 2 transition.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail

Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.

Published-method rule: Exit on a decisive 30-week support failure or a Stage 3/Stage 4 transition; never treat a failed Stage 2 break as healthy consolidation.

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~184.28 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~155.63. A push back above 203.55 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 212.94 invalidates it.
