CEO Charles Liang defines the predicted target as “very conservative,” but analysts doubt its feasibility.

JPMorgan's Samik Chatterjee observes escalating competition and persistent supply chain challenges within AI servers, while Needham's Quinn Bolton offers comparable revenue numbers supported with a total margin stability of 1112%.
