Weekly Bullish RSI Divergence
Price made a lower low ($406.24→$386.27) while RSI made a higher low (32→38). Treat it as early momentum evidence until price confirms a turn.
Weekly Bullish MACD Divergence
Price made a lower low ($408.19→$386.27) while MACD made a higher low (-10.41→-10.24). Treat it as early momentum evidence until price confirms a turn.
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 1.2 150-day MA > 200-day MA — MA150 $422.26 vs MA200 $431.23
- Minervini 1.4 50-day MA > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA — MA50 $420.16, MA150 $422.26, MA200 $431.23
- O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — CANSLIM grade C
- O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 33

Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails 150-day MA > 200-day MA.
- O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
- Weinstein: avoid Stage-analysis read: topping (Stage 3) is not an advancing Stage 2.

Weak (44/100) — 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%) 33
- Trend Template (25%) 38
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 70
- EPS Growth (15%) 50
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 30
RS rank 33: lagging the market — leaders don't look like this. Trend template 3/8: not in a healthy uptrend. Institutional score 70: mild accumulation. No recent earnings growth data — scored neutral. Quality 30: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30). Updated 2026-10-28.

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:
5 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.

Separate score from the Minervini Trend Template (3/8): 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.
