Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Strong July results and >40% 2026 revenue growth guidance signal durable demand, supporting near-term upside as investors price in continued AI-related capex. Historically, such guidance coupled with capex increases has preceded further upside when demand proves durable (e.g., prior AI-up cycles for leading foundries).
