What would change this verdict
What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:
- Minervini 1.1 Price > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA — Price $309.00, MA150 $369.95, MA200 $347.99
- Minervini 1.5 Price > 50-day MA — Price $309.00 vs MA50 $372.26
- O'Neil N: Near 52-week high or RS line new high — 36.7% below high | RS line new high: False
- O'Neil S: Base tightness (ATR% ≤ 4.5%) — ATR% 7.02%
- Weinstein Price above 30-week MA (200-day proxy) — Price $309.00 vs MA200 $347.99
- Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 1.15x
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA.
- O'Neil: watch CANSLIM read: 3/8 pass; improvement is still needed.
- Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 3 supporting checks need improvement.

Legend Score · rates the stock
Strong (73/100) — 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%) 95
- Trend Template (25%) 100
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 65
- EPS Growth (15%) 31
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44
RS rank 94: top 6% of all stocks — true leadership. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 65: mild accumulation. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 41, leverage 100). Updated 2026-10-13.

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.
