⚠ Risk Signals
Head & Shoulders Top
Neckline ~350.42 has broken. Measured-move risk extends toward ~328.69; a fast reclaim of 350.42 would be a failed breakdown (often bullish).
Bearish structure on the daily chart — a heads-up for anyone holding, not a short signal. Does not affect the bullish setup score.

Weak (41/100) — 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%) 40
- Trend Template (25%) 50
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 45
- EPS Growth (15%) 30
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 33
RS rank 40: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 4/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 45: neutral — no clear institutional conviction. EPS -0% last quarter — no earnings momentum. Quality 33: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 42, leverage 20). Updated 2026-10-19.

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 (50/100, 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:
