NOT DERIVABLE FROM THE COMPANY'S OWN ECONOMICS. This is the SCREEN'S OWN figure — 'industry median of mature profitable peers (pre-profit subject)' — a wholly borrowed number carrying essentially all of the valuation for a business that has never recorded a positive gross margin at company level. It is recorded because it is the parameter the memo actually ran to produce the required 42.9% and the -29.7pp margin, NOT because it is defensible. The memo supplies no named mechanism by which FuelCell reaches it.

Risk & exit

Four distinct questions, one field each. A price is not a thesis: the trigger below forces a re-underwrite and freezes further purchases — it is never an automatic sell.

Risk trigger
25% below the memo price
$13.55

A daily close below $13.55 triggers a mandatory re-underwrite and freezes further purchases. It is not an automatic sell unless a separate fundamental invalidation condition has been breached.

Thesis-invalidation conditions

Not stated. This name has no falsifiable invalidation conditions on file, so it cannot be risk-monitored. That is a gap in the research, not a clean bill of health — recorded rather than hidden.

Impairment case

Type: MEASURED. Logged; blocks nothing. Named cause: the Fit Energy option is never exercised, product and Advanced Technologies backlog continue to halve, and equity-market access reprices.
