How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2025 Q1
could you provide what you anticipate that kind of breakdown between the contribution from wireline versus wireless
Show response
CEO confirmed wireless stability with some infrastructure uptick, smartphone ecosystem still muted. Highlight was strong wireline orders and demand driven by AI.
Do you think it's still going to be wireline stable or do you expect an uptick if the smartphone ecosystem improves

Calendar 2025 Q2
what does the new business pipeline for software look like next year? And is that kind of incremental to your expectations of mid-single-digit software growth?
Show response
Cooper confirmed healthy new software pipeline but noted pipeline gives good visibility into current quarter and decent into next. New opportunities factored into mid-single-digit growth expectation, though majority of software revenue comes through renew-and-expand motion.
How much of that strength is this newfound shift where people are using systems instead of software that you would otherwise expect for them to use software
Show response
Cooper said hardware-over-software preference shift is a marginal factor, not the main driver. Primary drivers remain tech refresh and customer performance/capacity needs for data center scaling.

Calendar 2025 Q1
Have you observed a shift among international customers towards non-U.S. competitors in the testing space?
Show response
No competitive share impact from tariffs. Market remains competitive but tariffs have not been a deciding factor in equipment selections.
What measures are necessary in the long term to achieve the sort of 60% gross margin
Show response
Q1 strength was product mix driven. Long-term 59-60% margin target is built into product design and market selection. First half averaging roughly 59%.
