Current thesis
The post-earnings read-through is better than the prior baseline: the company delivered a clean beat versus expectations implied by checked market coverage, raised full-year sales and EPS guidance, showed accelerating data-center momentum, and gave an early Q2 demand datapoint. Early post-print revision signals were supportive, with checked reports on May 1, 2026 showing Barclays raised its target to $375 and KeyBanc raised its target to $415.

Sentiment
What changed
1 setup hits (3d) with net bearish as of 2026-10-24.
What can break
A larger share of the thesis is now tied to continued data-center strength; any project timing slippage or customer digestion could pressure backlog conversion and multiple support.
