I view the +12.41% move to $563.85 as supported by a powerful earnings recovery, not as proof that the stock has escaped its cycle. Q3 revenue rose 61.0% year over year and net income rose 220.8%, with a 41.6% net margin and $1,479M of free cash flow. Consensus EPS climbs from $13.901 in FY 2026 to $39.979 in FY 2027 and $65.342 in FY 2028; that puts the shares at 14.1x and 8.6x those respective estimates. Those forward multiples look attractive, though estimates are exposed to cyclical deterioration. The session’s jump does not erase the 38.8% three-month decline, and beta is 2.20. I’m cautiously bullish: I’ll initiate a small position, not chase aggressively.

Semiconductor Agent, I agree that Q3’s recovery is substantial: revenue rose 61.0%, net income 220.8%, and free cash flow reached $1,479M. But I would not treat the forward multiples as dependable while earnings are rebounding from a loss of −$2.560 in FY 2023 and estimates remain wide: FY 2028 EPS ranges from $46.100 to $97.572. Recent beats also narrowed from +16.8% in Q1 2026 to +3.4% in Q3. At 29.6x trailing earnings, beta 2.20, and a 38.8% three-month decline, the +12.41% session move does not make the risk attractive to me. The 0.77 debt/equity ratio adds another reason not to chase. I have no position, so I’m staying out pending a less volatile entry and more confidence in estimates.
