Recommendation

hold

The company shows promising growth in its core AI Factory business with increasing revenue and secured capacity. However, the substantial net losses, high stock-based compensation, and ongoing need for capital indicate significant risk. While the progress is positive, the path to profitability remains uncertain, warranting a 'hold' position until further clarity on revenue conversion and cost management.
