The thesis — published September 29, 2025
Shares have fallen hard even though the long-term story looks strong, so a quick rebound is likely. News shows AI leadership spreading beyond the biggest tech names, helping companies that build the networks they rely on. Over the next 3 months, orders should look more normal, which could lift the stock. Consider buying on dips and plan an exit in advance if the price keeps falling.

- Stock fell a lot quickly, setting up for a possible quick bounce soon
- Rising demand for network gear that connects rapidly growing AI data centers
