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 $293.59 vs MA200 $296.80
  • Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 47
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 47
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 1.04x
  • Weinstein Relative strength ≥ 60 — RS 47
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.
49 Weak
Legend Score · rates the stock Weak (49/100) — 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%) 47
  • Trend Template (25%) 62
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 50
  • EPS Growth (15%) 50
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 30

RS rank 47: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 50: neutral — no clear institutional conviction. 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.

Pivot
Pro level
Published-method rule: Use the tight base's structural pivot; the setup must retain Trend Template leadership into the trigger.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Require a decisive move through the pivot with volume confirmation, and do not initiate more than 5% above it.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Initial stop
Pro level
Published-method rule: Start at the tighter structural invalidation; the initial loss limit must not exceed roughly 7–8% from entry.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail
Rule-based
Published-method rule: Hold the initial stop until the trade proves itself; near +1R move to breakeven, then trail a higher low or rising 10/21-day average once well extended.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.
Exit / invalidation
Pro level
Published-method rule: Exit when the structural stop or a meaningful higher-low/short-term trend violation fires; never widen the stop.
