Wait — supporting gate not met yet. Price is at or below entry $607.17 but weak momentum; below 200-day MA (death cross) still blocks BUY_NOW. Key risks: Concentration risk — Product: advertising revenue; Sector modifier (Communication Services): -0.8. Chart setup: No recognized chart pattern (not a breakout, bounce, continuation, recovery, falling knife, or range) — technicals mixed. Growth is cheap relative to earnings, but the chart hasn't confirmed yet (PEG 0.89, quality 8.7/10, growth 10.0/10). Score 6.8/10, moderate confidence.

Passes 7/9 gates (favorable risk/reward ratio, clean insider activity, no SEC red flags, news events none recent, earnings proximity 70d clear, semi cycle peak clear, materials cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and death cross (50MA < 200MA). Suitability: moderate.
