A standout quarter saw revenue jump 20% year-over-year, handily beating the company's own guidance, fueled by record product revenue tied to AI and data center demand. The Q3 outlook points to further sequential gains, with revenue guided to $210–$216 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.75–$0.82 — both well above the GAAP range of $0.59–$0.67. This marks the first forward view since the stock's 21% plunge in April, and the strong numbers directly counter the narrative behind that sell-off. The balance sheet remains robust with $825 million in cash and no debt concerns, though a recent pattern of insider selling — over $11 million in open-market sales over the past 90 days — adds a note of caution to an otherwise bullish report.
