Confirming evidence

  • • 11 setup hits (3d) with net bullish as of 2026-09-09.
  • • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta -7.7.

Contradictions & invalidation

  • • Data-center capex slowdown or delay
  • • Execution risk on margin expansion initiatives
  • • Bear thesis: macro-driven capex slowdown, margin compression from cost inflation, or missed execution could retrench valuation toward the low analyst estimates and materially undercut the current market price.
