Nov 2, 2026, 1:34 PM EST1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Investors are recalibrating after a pullback, but the emphasis on underbuilding risk and strong cloud growth supports a constructive stance as AI infra demand materializes; near-term margin headwinds may be offset by the upside from a 2027 ramp.
