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 $69.11 vs MA200 $69.14
  • Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 44
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 44
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.80x
  • Weinstein Relative strength ≥ 60 — RS 44
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: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 3 supporting checks need improvement.
53 Neutral
Legend Score · rates the stock Neutral (53/100) — 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%) 44
  • Trend Template (25%) 62
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 70
  • EPS Growth (15%) 50
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 30

RS rank 44: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 70: mild accumulation. No recent earnings growth data — scored neutral. Quality 30: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30). 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 (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.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish forming
75% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~65.36 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~53.27. A push back above 75.83 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 77.45 invalidates it.

Cup & Handle bullish near confirmation

Cup complete, possible handle forming — watch for a quiet 5-15 bar drift on light volume holding above ~71.86 (mid-cup), then a breakout through ~75.88 on strong volume.
