Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 17 days.
The thesis — published October 12, 2025
A high-quality company at a better price. Short-term mood around the stock is weak, so add gradually instead of all at once. Q2 sales jumped 57% thanks to wins tied to AI projects, and the company rolled out new liquid-cooling connectors for data centers. The 10-10 US-China headline shock likely pushed shares down too far. As nerves settle over the next 0-3 months, a rebound is likely, with AI demand still a plus.
Primary drivers
- Price looks unusually weak now; consider buying in small steps over time.
- AI project wins lifted Q2 sales by 57%, signaling strong demand (10-09).
- New liquid-cooling connectors launched for heat-heavy AI data centers (10-08).
- US-China trade scare likely knocked the stock down too far temporarily (10-10).
