The price is looking for direction — no strong breakout, no collapse.
Financial Strength: The cash-and-debt balance is thin; the buffer for hard times is slim.
The stock trades below its recent peak — about 10% off the top. A pullback, not a collapse.

On our five-subject report card, CQP sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”
