Importantly, the company is a beneficiary of the AI frenzy, providing power management chips that keep AI servers and data centers from overheating and crashing. The favorable trend was confirmed in its latest release, with Enterprise Data market revenue of $380.6 million in the above-mentioned period increasing 165% YoY, driven by higher sales of power management solutions for AI and server applications.
The result of its strong demand picture has led analysts to raise their sales expectations in a big way as well for both its current and next fiscal years, with the FY26 estimate up by nearly 30% just over the last year.

The stock has cooled off recently, down roughly 15% over the last three months amid broader market volatility related to the AI trade. Shares did see a strong reaction to the latest quarterly release, and a bullish earnings picture helps keep the company’s bright outlook intact.
In addition, shares recently found some support near prior resistance and the 200-day moving average following the weak action across most of June, with the recent positive earnings reaction also a favorable sign concerning it regaining its near-term momentum. Price action aside, the company’s fundamental outlook remains rock-solid given the strong demand picture stemming from the AI frenzy, with the pullback over recent months more reflective of an opportunity than a breakdown.
