Solid company that is good for long term investors.
Well positioned for increased use of semi-conductors in auto industry.
Very good management team.
Does not own shares but will continue to watch.

In auto, industrial, edge AI, and AI infrastructure. 12-month price target of $82. Leg in today at $71, $67, and $64. No yield.

It beat earnings today and rallied 11%. The CEO issued a sunny forecast.

Down 17% last month. It got hit after Texas Instruments reported last Monday, giving a dour outlook for the car and industrial end markets.

He's always traded, not owned this. The market price target is $82, nearly double today's price. Their last earnings disappointed, missing the bottom line, and lowered guidance. The jury is out.
