AI Summary
MXL is evolving into an AI-optical infrastructure growth bet, but its premium valuation requires sustained hyperscaler-driven revenue growth, margin expansion, and inventory-to-cash conversion; investors should await proof of scalable free cash flow and successful 1.6T/3.2T ramps before chasing momentum.
