Sell if holding. Engine safety override at $43.14: Quality below floor (3.1 < 4.0) triggers a hard block regardless of the otherwise-positive setup — overall score 3.9/10. Specifically: High short interest: 16%; Elevated put/call ratio: 9.77; Below-average business quality. Chart setup: Death cross, below all MAs, RSI 35, MACD bearish. Score 3.9/10, high confidence.

Passes 3/7 gates (clean insider activity, no SEC red flags, semi cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and favorable risk/reward ratio and death cross (50MA < 200MA) and earnings proximity 0d<=7d. Suitability: moderate.
