Sell if holding. Momentum 2.7/10 is below the 5.0 floor at $33.74 — engine's falling-knife protection flags exit rather than catching a breakdown. Specifics: Leverage penalty (D/E 1.1): -0.5; Concentration risk — Geographic: revenues from outside the U.S. (59.0%). Chart setup: RSI 55 mid-range, Bollinger mid-band.
