Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 65% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published November 15, 2025
The stock fell hard after the company lowered its outlook, but demand for its AI-focused networking gear still looks strong. This week, sales grew 27.5% in the latest quarter and a major bank rated it a Buy with a $170 goal. Prefer buying near recent price lows and adding only if the price closes back above a key recent average. Over the next 3 months, watch big-customer order timing, supply recovery, and a sensitive valuation.
Primary drivers
- Stock dropped a lot after the company cut its outlook, creating a potential entry
- Demand for its networking gear used in AI data centers still looks solid
- New: major bank says Buy with $170 target; Q3 sales rose 27.5 percent
- Wait for a steadier upward pattern in the price before adding more
