MSX View:
The most important aspect of this financial report is not the 58% revenue growth, but how far seller expectations are from reality: Q3 revenue guidance is 18% higher than consensus expectations, earnings per share guidance is 45% higher, and annual revenue has been raised by 25 billion USD in one go. The backlog of 95 billion USD for AI servers can be digested over nearly six quarters at the shipment pace of this quarter. Visibility is not a problem. What truly needs to be monitored is another line: revenue grew 58% year-on-year, while cash flow from operations declined 12.5% year-on-year. AI servers involve upfront costs for inventory, followed by revenue recognition; the faster the growth, the heavier the working capital burden. The simultaneous occurrence of a breakout in the income statement and a contraction in the cash flow statement raises the question of how long it can sustain, depending on the speed of converting backlog orders into cash.
