What would change this verdict

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

  • Minervini 1.5 Price > 50-day MA — Price $59.70 vs MA50 $60.17
  • Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 53
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — -6.3% QoQ
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 53
  • Weinstein Relative strength ≥ 60 — RS 53
  • Weinstein Stage 1→2 breakout on expanding volume
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 50-day MA.
  • O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
  • Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 3 supporting checks need improvement.
56 Neutral
Legend Score · rates the stock Neutral (56/100) — 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%) 53
  • Trend Template (25%) 75
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 66
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 38

RS rank 53: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 6/8: passes the uptrend screen, structure intact. Institutional score 66: mild accumulation. EPS -0% last quarter — no earnings momentum. Quality 38: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 60). Updated 2026-10-26.

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 (0/100, 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: 6 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.

Published-method rule: Use the top of the active Darvas box near the high as the mechanical breakout boundary.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Require price to clear the box top with volume confirmation; movement inside the box remains observation, not a trigger.

Published-method rule: Start below the active box support or the canonical structural stop that proves the breakout failed.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail
Rule-based
Published-method rule: As higher boxes form, raise the stop beneath the newest confirmed box floor; the stop moves up only.
