Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 29 days.
The thesis — published December 17, 2025
Price action looks like sellers may be tired, but broader selling pressure is still in place, so we need a clear sign that selling has eased before trusting a rebound. Recent industry news supports future demand, while Chinese moves on advanced chipmaking add political risk. Prefer small, staged buys after the stock shows stability.
Primary drivers
- Industry forecast for more equipment spending, boosting chip demand
- Very oversold readings make a short-term rebound more likely
- Strong business performance can draw buyers when selling calms
- Political and cycle news can keep swings large and fast
