The company's stock has soared 223% over the last 12 months, making it the highest-performing stock among the "Magnificent Seven" due to strong AI demand. Another AI chipmaker, Arm Holdings, also saw its stocks increase by more than 40% recently, following a quarterly outlook that exceeded Wall Street's expectations.
