What would change this verdict
What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:
- Minervini 2. ROE ≥ 17% — ROE 12.7%
- Minervini 2. Revenue growth ≥ 20% YoY — +9.6% YoY
- O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev +9.6% | ROE 12.7%
- O'Neil M: Market in confirmed uptrend — Market phase: uptrend_under_pressure
- Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.82x
- Weinstein Weekly price coiling (Stage 2 consolidation) — Tightening weekly range confirms base
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: watch Trend-template read: 10/12 pass; wait for the soft misses to improve.
- O'Neil: watch CANSLIM read: 4/8 pass; improvement is still needed.
- Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.

Legend Score · rates the stock
Strong (74/100) — 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%) 91
- Trend Template (25%) 100
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 74
- EPS Growth (15%) 33
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44
RS rank 90: top 10% of all stocks — true leadership. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 74: mild accumulation. EPS up +2% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 100). 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 (70/100, 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:

Volatility-unit sizing (1N ≈ 1% of equity)1N = $3.77 (2.04% of price); the Turtles size 1 unit so a 1N move ≈ 1% of equity, making the 2N stop ≈ 2% equity risk

Zanger read: the structure is fine but the breakout quality is not there yet — wait for 150%+ volume on the break.
partialZanger would buy the Ascending Triangle breakout only with 150-200% volume, never more than 5% above the breakout point, with a 2-3% stop set at entry. His edge over O'Neil is the exit plan: sell 20-30% of the position at +15-20%, then trail the rest on the 10/20-day moving average.
