Sell if holding. Momentum 4.0/10 is below the 5.0 floor at $12.36 — engine's falling-knife protection flags exit rather than catching a breakdown. Specifics: Thin upside margin: 8.2%; Leverage penalty (D/E 1.1): -0.5. Chart setup: Death cross but MACD improving, RSI 42. Score 5.0/10, moderate confidence.

Passes 6/8 gates (favorable risk/reward ratio, clean insider activity, no SEC red flags, earnings proximity 31d clear, semi cycle peak clear, materials cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and death cross (50MA < 200MA). Suitability: aggressive.
