🎯 Q1 2026 | Rev $10.6B | EPS $2.65 vs $2.56 🟢 | Margin 21.8%
💡 Consensus expects sustained strong growth to justify the premium valuation. Variant view: growth may decelerate, and multiple compression from 24.3x toward historical median (~22x) will offset any earnings beats, leading to zero or negative returns over the next 3 months.
📉 Reward/risk: 2.0:1
🏢 Business Quality: 8/10 - Dominant mobile SoC/IP franchise with expanding automotive and IoT revenue, strong margins, and high barriers to entry.
