Demand pull is outrunning the plan for one still-small offering, and the company is visibly re-pointing itself at it
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2018 call → NO我们根据要求分析。管理层提到了两个主要举措:重庆合资企业和数字电源。对于重庆合资企业,管理层说“As the demand for our new products has increased in the last year or so, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience supply and manufacturing constraints. These capacity constraints have caused us to forgo potential revenue... We believe this joint venture will provide us with the needed manufacturing capacity to meet the demand for our products and to support our longer-term revenue growth.” 这里需求增加导致供应限制,但这是针对新产品的整体需求,不是特定一个小的产品线。而且合资企业是应对供应限制,但它是为了满足需求,但需求是现有产品的需求,不是新推出的一个小的举措。另外,数字电源是新的举措,但管理层说“The technology we acquired has been commercially proven, and we will integrate it with our existing MOSFET and Power IC products to offer a total solution... With digital power capability, we have opportunities to expand into broad markets... This will enable us to engage earlier with OEM customers...” 但这里没有提到客户响应超前于准备。数字电源团队还在招聘中,没有提到实际订单或需求超过预期。所以不符合。 另外,IGBT产品线提到“our IGBT product line has crossed an important threshold of $10 million annual revenue mark... This product line is gaining solid momentum as the design cycle is finally starting to convert into revenue.” 但这是说设计周期开始转化为收入,没有说需求超过准备。而且IGBT是现有产品线,不是新的小举措。 因此,没有明确的一个可识别的举措同时满足两个条件。所以答案应为NO。

It is explicitly described as “the least interesting business we’re developing” and still a smaller slice of overall results (COVID testing was the dominant revenue driver for the prior two years).
