Ives noted that consensus forecasts on Wall Street do not fully reflect the earnings impact expected over the next several years, particularly through 2026.

Ives said that recent channel checks indicate that demand for advanced AI processors significantly exceeds available supply, citing products from Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) as an example. 

“The reality is all our checks are showing demand to supply is 12 to 1,” Ives added. 

According to his assessment, interest from customers seeking AI infrastructure remains far greater than the industry’s ability to deliver chips, creating sustained pricing power and long-term revenue visibility.
