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 $277.67 vs MA50 $286.64
  • Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 69
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 69
  • O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev +7.5% | ROE 11.0%
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 1.00x
  • Weinstein Weekly price coiling (Stage 2 consolidation) — Tightening weekly range confirms base
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 50-day MA.
  • O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership).
  • Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.
59 Neutral
Legend Score · rates the stock Neutral (59/100) — 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%) 69
  • Trend Template (25%) 88
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 43
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44

RS rank 69: above-average strength. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 43: neutral — no clear institutional conviction. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 100). Updated 2026-10-22.

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 (84/100, 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.
