How the engine reached this verdict
TrendMatrix's engine output for Somnigroup International Inc. (SGI) is SELL_IF_HOLDING with medium conviction, score 6.0/10 at $77.25. The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 4.5 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. Asymmetry R:R of 0.64 is supplementary context, not the trigger.
The dominant failed gate is reward-to-risk at 0.6 vs threshold 1.5. SELL flips back toward HOLD if reward-to-risk recovers above its threshold AND a co-failing gate also clears. The strongest-cleared gate today is MOMENTUM:5.9>=5.5.
On the bull side: Strong earnings beat streak (3/4); Strong growth profile. On the bear side: Thin upside margin: 9.2%; Leverage penalty (D/E 2.1): -1.5; Below 200-MA, MA slope -1.7%/30d (confirmed downtrend). Active engine warnings: V9 Gate Failed: ASYMMETRY:0.6<1.5@spot.
The engine's exit framework anchors to a tactical sell band near $77.25, with structural invalidation at $72.06. The asymmetric R:R against a reversal hypothesis is 1.31 — the upside scenario exists, but it requires multiple structural gates to flip; the downside scenario requires only one more disappointment. The engine's sizing output: 0.5% of portfolio at this asymmetry level (none-conviction tier).
