12-month view: the structural AI catalysts overwhelm the transitory dislocations. Maintain overweight exposure vs. benchmark; use any weakness toward the $350–360 zone to add.

Catalysts

  • Dominant long-term trend is up. The price is ~72% above the 200-day SMA, and both the 50- and 200-day SMAs are rising in a golden-cross formation.
  • Short-term momentum has deteriorated. RSI has fallen from overbought (83) to 39.9, and the MACD has produced a bearish crossover—both caution flags for near-term longs.
  • The stock is below the Bollinger middle band (~$386), a sign that the immediate path of least resistance is lower or sideways until price reasserts above that level.

Risks

  • 12-month view: the structural AI catalysts overwhelm the transitory dislocations. Maintain overweight exposure vs. benchmark; use any weakness toward the $350–360 zone to add.
