Seeking Alpha · 14 Sept 2026neutral

Shares now appear to have priced in much of the AI-driven upside.

Why it matters — A DigitalOcean watcher would care because the article highlights strong AI-driven growth results balanced against concerns that the equity may already be overpriced relative to the credit market's view of the thesis, including new leverage from the $725M debt facility.
