Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 60% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published February 16, 2026
The company makes connectors used in data centers, cars, and phones. Recent news: the CEO is now also Chairman and analysts raised long-term profit estimates; shares rose when inflation data softened. That mix favors steady, dependable growth tied to data-center demand. Expect to buy on pullbacks and add only if buying strength returns; rotations away from big tech are the main risk.
Primary drivers
- Higher analyst estimates can steady valuation versus riskier tech names
- Same leader as CEO and Chairman cuts management uncertainty
- Demand from data centers and connectivity drives steady component sales
- Sector moves mean buy on pullbacks and add with clear buying strength
