Highlights:

  • Following a massive guidance cut in February, the stock fell 60%. It then rallied back amid optimism towards artificial intelligence.

  • But that optimism ignores a key risk: the guidance cut was not driven by timing of demand, but a technological shift away from its core product. Microsoft, a key customer, dramatically cut spending.

  • Even if that risk doesn’t play out, the business has valuation concerns at 15x sales. And AI euphoria appears to be fading.

  • This is a short with multiple ways to win, and the potential for impressive near-term returns.
