What would change this verdict

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

  • Minervini 4. Breakout volume ≥ 40% above average
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 71
  • O'Neil M: Market in confirmed uptrend — Market phase: uptrend_under_pressure
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 1.08x
  • 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: 9/10 pass; wait for the soft misses to improve.
  • 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.
72 Strong
Legend Score · rates the stock Strong (72/100) — held back by institutional footprint

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%) 71
  • Trend Template (25%) 100
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 71
  • EPS Growth (15%) 50
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 50

RS rank 71: above-average strength. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 71: mild accumulation. No recent earnings growth data — scored neutral. No sales/ROE data — scored neutral. 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.

Zweig A · 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 stock's recent consolidation high — Zweig buys strength in screened growers, not breakdowns.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Buy only when the growth screen passes: EPS growth above the market, PEG ≤ 1.5 (reasonable for the growth), insider buying, and RS leadership.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Initial stop
Pro level
Published-method rule: Define the loss before entry — Zweig's risk rule. Sell when the growth story breaks: earnings decelerate or the valuation stretches past reason.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail
Rule-based
Published-method rule: Hold winners as long as earnings keep growing and the price holds its trend; sell half on a climax run.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.
Exit / invalidation
Pro level
Published-method rule: Exit when EPS growth falls below the market, the PEG stretches past reason, insiders stop buying — or the Super Model flips the market to defensive.
