Scenarios

Directional cases for the sector — not stock-level price targets.

Bull

Inference demand broadens beyond hyperscalers; software AI attach lifts growth and margins.

Multiple expansion
Base

AI capex stays elevated but growth decelerates; software NRR holds in the 110s.

Fair value
Bear

AI ROI disappointment cuts GPU and WFE orders; enterprise software elongation returns.

Multiple compression
