The analyst' bullish stance reflects expectations of broadening demand drivers and a cyclical recovery in end-markets through 2025.
分析師的看漲立場反映了對需求驅動因素擴大和終端市場到2025年週期性復甦的預期。

The analyst raised FY25 organic growth forecasts, anticipating stronger revenue growth, especially in the second half, and factoring in Spirent's contribution. This leads to a forecast of 12% EPS growth in FY25 and 17% in FY26.
該分析師上調了25財年的有機增長預期,預計收入增長將更強勁,尤其是在下半年,並考慮了思博倫的貢獻。因此,預計25財年每股收益將增長12%,26財年每股收益將增長17%。
Chatterjee expects demand drivers to broaden beyond the current focus on AI as the company transitions from FY24 to FY25.
Chatterjee預計,隨着公司從24財年過渡到25財年,需求驅動因素將擴大到目前對人工智能的關注之外。
With lower interest rates and capital costs, the analyst anticipates increased customer spending, particularly from traditionally cautious sectors, adds the analyst.
