Each name carries a verdict - an action stance, not a price target. The logic:
Buy - in an uptrend and showing a fresh, low-risk entry right now (a breakout, or a pullback that reclaimed support) with a clear stop. Actionable today.
Hold - quality or neutral: either trending up but with no fresh entry trigger yet, or simply not in a setup. Not a buy (no low-risk entry with a defined stop right now - buying mid-range means chasing with a wide stop) and not a sell (it is not broken). You watch for a trigger - a breakout from a base, or a pullback that reclaims the rising 50-day - which would turn it into a Buy. So "up 22% 1-yr but ~8% off its high" is a healthy name resting.
Sell - avoid or exit: fails a hard gate (unprofitable, or a broken / downtrend chart). Off the table regardless of momentum.
