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 $79.07 vs MA200 $80.34
  • Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 41
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — -5.1% QoQ
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 41
  • Weinstein Stage 2 (Advancing phase) confirmed — Stage 3 (Topping)
  • Weinstein 30-week MA trending upward — From weekly scan context
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.
48 Weak
Legend Score · rates the stock Weak (48/100) — 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%) 41
  • Trend Template (25%) 62
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 65
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 33

RS rank 41: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 65: mild accumulation. EPS -0% last quarter — no earnings momentum. Quality 33: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 43, leverage 20). 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 (41/100, 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.

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

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.
