The sleeper story is that AI infrastructure has shifted from R&D to manufacturing scale -- wireline surpassing wireless for the first time signals we're past the proof-of-concept phase and into production deployment. The obvious headline is 23% revenue growth, but the real insight is management doubled their AI customer base while maintaining that the top 2 customers are still non-AI, showing genuine demand broadening rather than hyperscaler concentration. The binding constraint is the ERP migration timeline that pushes $100M in acquisition synergies to late 2026, creating near-term margin headwinds despite 41% core leverage. As the sales chief put it after 36 years: 'This is one of the strongest funnels I've ever seen across the 4 dimensions that I track.' My view changes if the H2 guidance proves too conservative and they actually sustain 30% growth rates, or if acquisition integration hits snags that delay the synergy timeline beyond late 2026.
