Reached 34% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 29, 2025
Buying interest looks stronger than usual, and the company's push into AI hardware and services is drawing new attention. Recent news shows several analysts lifting their price targets, which can pull in more investors. Over the next few months, the price could keep rising on normal dips, but China and economy headlines may cause swings. A step-by-step buying plan can help handle bumps while overall sentiment stays positive.
Primary drivers
- Uptrend with price holding above its recent average price levels overall
- Growing focus on building AI hardware and cloud tools that need spending
- More analysts are lifting their price targets, drawing extra attention
- Unusually heavy buying days suggest stronger demand than normal overall
