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 $91.34 vs MA200 $91.52
- Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 52
- O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 52
- O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev +7.2%
- Weinstein Stage 2 (Advancing phase) confirmed — Stage 3 (Topping)
- Weinstein Relative strength ≥ 60 — RS 52
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails 150-day MA > 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.

Neutral (54/100) — 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%) 52
- Trend Template (25%) 62
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 66
- EPS Growth (15%) 50
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 30
RS rank 52: middle of the pack — no leadership yet. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 66: mild accumulation. 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 (54/100, 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:
