SEC filingRevenue surged 58% YoY to $2.0B driven by AI data center demand, with gross margin expanding 420bps to 50.4%.
In Q2 FY2026, net revenue reached $2.0 billion, a 57.6% year-over-year increase, primarily fueled by a 69% surge in the data center end market on strong AI demand. Gross profit rose 72.0% to $1.01 billion, with gross margin expanding 420 basis points to 50.4% due to better cost absorption from higher volumes, partly offset by product mix. Operating income swung to $290.9 million (14.5% of revenue) from a loss of $100.5 million (-7.9%) in the prior year, reflecting revenue growth and lower SG&A as a percentage of sales. Net income was $194.6 million (9.7% of revenue) versus a net loss of $193.2 million (-15.2%) a year ago. The provision for income taxes decreased 17.4% to $38.9 million, impacted by the newly enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025.
All end markets except automotive/industrial posted strong year-over-year growth. Data center revenue increased 69%, led by custom AI solutions and electro-optics.

The data center segment remains the primary growth engine, with management highlighting continued strong AI demand.
