What would change this verdict

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

  • Minervini 2. Quarterly EPS growth ≥ 25% — From SEPA scan
  • Minervini 2. ROE ≥ 17% — From SEPA scan
  • O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev +2.0%
  • O'Neil N: Near 52-week high or RS line new high — 18.6% below high | RS line new high: False
  • 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: 10/13 pass; wait for the soft misses to improve.
  • O'Neil: watch CANSLIM read: 3/8 pass; improvement is still needed.
  • Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 1 supporting checks need improvement.
64 Neutral
Legend Score · rates the stock Neutral (64/100) — 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%) 92
  • Trend Template (25%) 88
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 36
  • EPS Growth (15%) 50
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 30

RS rank 91: top 9% of all stocks — true leadership. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 36: mild distribution — sellers active. No recent earnings growth data — scored neutral. Quality 30: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30). Updated 2026-11-05.

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 (65/100, 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: 8 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.
