Press release ↗Summary
The quarter was an AI-infrastructure beat-and-raise: revenue came in above the mid-point of the company's own May guidance, and the data center end market — now the clear majority of the business — grew faster than the company overall. Management framed the strength as durable rather than a single strong quarter, raising the revenue outlook for two fiscal years at once and guiding the next quarter well above the level just reported. The gap between GAAP and non-GAAP earnings remains wide, so the headline $0.94 non-GAAP figure sits against $0.33 on a GAAP basis.
