<< 18A Yields are adequate to address the supply
But they are not where we need them to be drive the appropriate level of margin
By the end of next year, we might be in that space
Year after that (end of 2027) they will be at industry acceptable level>>

"Industry acceptable level" sounds like getting towards 60% gross margins to me.
Maybe not there by then, but getting there.

Couple that with strong demand (down the road) and we're talking about a
meaningfully higher stock price.

Ouch, two full years from start of production until yields are at industry norms? They should just give up now...

after HOW many years of it being declared "in production"? TSMC routinely does that is about 2 quarters MAX.

seems like they have had 18a in production for at least 3 years now.
