Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Backlog And Hyperscaler WinsRecord backlog and strategic design wins, along with expanded deployments at major hyperscalers, create a durable revenue runway tied to data center and AI networking demand.
Earnings BeatQuarterly revenue and earnings exceeded consensus, signaling robust demand across cloud and service-provider customers that supports an improved profitability outlook.
Guidance And AI-led GrowthManagement raised FY26 revenue guidance and flagged accelerating AI- and cloud-driven opportunities, implying stronger multi-year growth expectations if execution holds.
Bears Say
Customer Concentration RiskA substantial share of revenue is concentrated among a few large customers, leaving the stock vulnerable if any major customer reduces spending or shifts sourcing.
High ValuationShares trade at a premium to peers, which limits upside potential and increases sensitivity to any growth execution shortfalls.
Limited Near-term Upside As Priced-in ExpectationsSome analysts maintain an in-line view despite strong guidance, reflecting concern that current share prices may already reflect much of the anticipated growth.
