AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

NetApp's AI, all-flash, and cloud momentum supports a re-rating from cyclical storage vendor to higher-margin data-platform play, but at ~25x earnings investors should demand sustained AI-to-production conversion and margin resilience against flash-cost inflation before adding above $200.
