What would change this verdict
What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:
- Minervini 2. Quarterly EPS growth ≥ 25% — +20.0% QoQ
- Minervini 2. ROE ≥ 17% — ROE 1.6%
- O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — +20.0% QoQ
- O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev +0.3% | ROE 1.6%
- Weinstein Weekly price coiling (Stage 2 consolidation) — Tightening weekly range confirms base
- Zanger Named Zanger pattern only — Wyckoff SOS is not one of Zanger's six
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: watch Trend-template read: 10/13 pass; wait for the soft misses to improve.
- O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
- Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 1 supporting checks need improvement.

Legend Score · rates the stock
Strong (71/100) — 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%) 88
- Trend Template (25%) 100
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 65
- EPS Growth (15%) 30
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44
RS rank 87: beating most of the market. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 65: mild accumulation. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 100). Updated 2026-11-05.

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:

Separate score from the Minervini Trend Template (8/8): the Trend Template grades the price structure, this grades the company & leadership (earnings, sales, margins, RS rank).
