- Minervini 1.5 Price > 50-day MA — Price $56.02 vs MA50 $56.03
- Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 45

Legend Score · rates the stock
Neutral (52/100) — 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%) 45
- Trend Template (25%) 50
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 68
- EPS Growth (15%) 50
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 50
RS rank 45: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 4/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 68: 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:
6 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.
