Most Popular Narrative: 35% Undervalued

Expansion into AI data center connectivity and cooling through next generation PTFE-based laminates that already meet and exceed M9 performance requirements with a path to M10, and direct-to-chip microchannel coolers now being prototyped with several major AI chip and data center customers, alongside management’s expectation that these adjacencies contribute meaningfully to roughly US$450 million of targeted incremental revenue by 2030, provides a potential new leg of growth and margin mix improvement.
