The price needs 55.0% growth a year for ten years. The AI thinks 28.0% is achievable, at a 12.0% margin.
Sivers trades at an $11B market cap while still losing money on every dollar of revenue. Even if the AI optics bet works and the company eventually reaches 12% margins, it would still need to grow revenue at nearly 30% a year for a decade to justify today's price. The leadership changes and new fab are positive steps, but the gap between current cash burn and the valuation remains enormous.
