Computing is forecast to grow more than 20% year over year, supporting a sustained mix shift toward higher-value offerings. A multi-region buildout across Korea, Vietnam, Arizona and Taiwan, supported by government incentives and customer agreements, underpins multi-year growth potential. However, near-term margins face pressure from seasonality, front-loaded depreciation and capex of $2.5-$3 billion for 2026. Customer concentration is elevated, and end-market volatility tied to mobile and PC cycles poses a headwind. Ramp delays or softer AI/HPC adoption could defer the anticipated margin accretion.Shares have gained 26.19% over the past four weeks and there have been 3 higher earnings estimate revisions for fiscal 2026 compared to none lower.
