✕Why not
The honest case against — what most tools hideMain riskno obvious red flag
Accruals-quality red flagEarnings not cash-backed — high Sloan accruals (net income well above operating cash flow); a shadow signal, not yet a hard veto.
Falling knifeDown 48% from its 1-year high — momentum is against it.
What keeps us out
- A deterioration in the fundamentals that score the business.
Patience price & distance
as of Jul 8, 2026 runThe patience price is where value discipline would let the council in — deliberately strict: we'd rather miss ten winners than own one loser.

A catalyst is a plausible reason the gap could close — never a certainty.
Forensic read
