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 $162.43 vs MA200 $166.18
- Minervini 2. Quarterly EPS growth ≥ 25% — From SEPA scan
- O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%
- O'Neil N: Near 52-week high or RS line new high — 22.7% below high | RS line new high: False
- Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.92x
- Weinstein Weekly price coiling (Stage 2 consolidation) — Tightening weekly range confirms base
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails 150-day MA > 200-day MA.
- O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
- Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.

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 (86/100, 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:
1 legend rates this Buyable · 5 watching · 3 avoid.

Separate score from the Minervini Trend Template (6/8): the Trend Template grades the price structure, this grades the company & leadership (earnings, sales, margins, RS rank). A stock can ride a clean trend while its fundamentals lag, so the two often differ by design — they are not the same checklist.
