List price is a distraction. Realised price per account has risen for five straight quarters, which is where pricing power actually shows up.

Cloud crossed two thirds of revenue and its gross margin is now above the legacy line. Every further point of mix is accretive, which was not true two years ago.

The path to the stated operating margin requires support headcount to fall another fifth. The remaining accounts are the ones that consume the most support.

Wafer supply stopped being the binding constraint two quarters ago. Substation interconnect and advanced packaging now set the delivery schedule, and neither is modelled.

No argument with the business. The entry is the problem: the multiple already discounts two more years of a capex cycle that has historically run three.
