The case
● Bull — what supports it
AI CPU roadmap with Oracle and ByteDance joining the AGI platform; Mizuho lifted its target to $500 and NVIDIA-chip optimism keeps the long-term story alive.
● Bear — what refutes it
Trades at a ~382 trailing P/E, +240% YTD, with the Street mean target ~$245 (38% below spot) and a 12% ATR now in STRONG_TREND_DOWN — valuation has front-run execution.
What would change our mind
Drake commits in advance to what would prove this call wrong — falsifiers, not hindsight.
- Concrete high-volume data-center license/royalty wins would justify the multiple; continued de-rating toward the ~$245 mean target confirms the bear case.
