Core Market Drivers
The surge appears driven by renewed positive sentiment in the AI infrastructure sector.
While no specific company news was reported today, the significant net capital inflow ($57M) and high volume suggest strong institutional interest returning to the stock after recent weakness.
Technical Analysis
The breakout is supported by strong volume (79.1M shares, VR=2.43).
The MACD histogram turned positive, signaling potential momentum shift from the oversold condition.
The 6-day RSI jumped to 72.56, indicating strong short-term buying pressure, though it is now approaching overbought territory.
Key Price Levels
Immediate Pivot: $32.65 - Today's high near the previous resistance level.
Primary Support: $30.15 - The recent consolidation floor.
Strong Resistance: ~$35.00 - A psychological and technical barrier from the late-2025 decline.
Valuation Perspective
The forward P/E of 15.84 is below its historical average of 18.86 and the sector average, suggesting the stock may be undervalued relative to its own history and AI hardware peers.
Analyst Targets
Coverage from 17 analysts shows a bullish consensus with an average price target of $45.32 (38.8% upside). The breakdown is 2 Strong Buy, 7 Buy, 8 Hold, and 3 Underperform ratings.
Weekly Outlook
Expect consolidation between $30.15 and $35.00 in the coming week as the rally digests. A sustained close above $33 could target a move toward $38. Conversely, a break below $30 would invalidate the bullish setup and retest the $28-$29 zone.
