While the company reported a 107% surge in data center revenue, the stock's 254% annual rally leaves little room for error compared to NVIDIA's more modest 45x valuation. Analysts maintain a hold rating, noting that future performance hinges on the successful production ramp of Helios and Instinct systems.
