Sell if holding. Momentum 4.4/10 is below the 5.0 floor at $8.70 — engine's falling-knife protection flags exit rather than catching a breakdown. Specifics: Consecutive earnings misses (2); Below 200-MA, MA slope -6.3%/30d (confirmed downtrend). Chart setup: Death cross but MACD improving, RSI 54. Score 5.8/10, moderate confidence.

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