Sell if holding. At $13.68, A.R:R 1.1:1 is below the 1.5:1 minimum. Reward from here is too thin for a buy — the engine flags exit. Additional concerns: Leverage penalty (D/E 8.5): -1.5; Concentration risk — Supplier: Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Chart setup: Death cross but MACD improving, RSI 70. Score 6.0/10, moderate confidence.

Passes 4/8 gates (clean insider activity, no SEC red flags, news events none recent, semi cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and favorable risk/reward ratio and death cross (50MA < 200MA) and earnings proximity 6d<=7d. Suitability: aggressive.
