Target reached Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on February 3, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 69 days.
The thesis — published November 5, 2025
The stock looks beaten down, but the core business is still behind rivals. Fresh limits in China on foreign AI chips add near-term uncertainty. Treat this as a short-term rebound idea only after signs the slide is easing, such as stronger buying interest and prices starting to form a steadier upward pattern. A 3 month sentiment lift likely depends on visible progress in its chip factory strategy and product roadmap.
Primary drivers
- Price looks very beaten down, but buying strength remains soft for now
- Shifting to make chips for other firms; steady progress on its plan matters
- China curbs foreign AI chips, which could limit near-term demand
- Only consider a rebound after clearer signs the downtrend is easing
