What would change this verdict
What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:
- Minervini 1.4 50-day MA > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA — MA50 $50.99, MA150 $51.13, MA200 $51.00
- Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 44
- O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 44
- O'Neil M: Market in confirmed uptrend — Market phase: uptrend_under_pressure
- Weinstein Stage 2 (Advancing phase) confirmed — Stage 3 (Topping)
- Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.86x
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails 50-day MA > 150-day MA AND 200-day MA.
- O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership).
- Weinstein: avoid Stage-analysis read: topping (Stage 3) is not an advancing Stage 2.

Legend Score · rates the stock
Neutral (57/100) — held back by relative strength
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%) 75
- EPS Growth (15%) 50
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 50
RS rank 44: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 75: mild accumulation. No recent earnings growth data — scored neutral. No sales/ROE data — scored neutral. 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:
5 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.
