AI Summary
ERIC is now primarily a cash-flow, margin-defense, and buyback storyânot a broad 5G recovery playâso investors should remain cautious until Networks revenue shows sustained improvement; holding above $10.00 and breaking $10.38 would provide tangible confirmation that margin durability and capital returns are overcoming stagnant carrier demand.
