AI Summary

6.8

ACLS has moved from a “downturn is ending” story to a “can it sustain a profitable upcycle?” story, and the Q2 beat plus raised guidance are the key signal that demand is improving—but with margins softening and valuation already rich, the stock now needs proof of durable earnings expansion, not just a cyclical rebound.
