Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$109.19

-41.2% from spot

Better component availability supports growth while FY2026 profitability holds. Weaker annual revenue expectations or sustained margin erosion by FY2028 would disconfirm it.

Revenue growth stays strong through FY2028, then fades toward mature rates.

Bull20%

Price target

$128.93

-30.5% from spot

Core growth and profitability must persist without a large internal capital build. Renewed shipment limits or weaker margins by FY2028 would disconfirm it.

Advanced-packaging and service demand extend growth as component availability improves.

Sensitivity: Ke × terminal growth

The highlighted cell is Fair value when every assumption sits at its base level ($109.19). Each row and column shows what Fair value becomes when one assumption moves.
