Cognex: The Data Center Supply Chain Play The Market Is Underpricing; Strong Buy
Cognex Corporation is poised for durable, margin-accretive growth, driven by expansion into the data center and semiconductor markets. CGNX's OneVision platform and AI-enabled inspection solutions position it to capture significant upside from the global data center buildout and server refresh cycles. Despite near-term margin headwinds from rising memory costs, I expect robust operating leverage and margin expansion, with an inflection point in eFY27.
