Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2023 call → NOWe need answer only YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Need determine if management describes buyers who already bought and seen result are asking for more than company can supply, and company enlarging. Need look for evidence. Transcript: TE Connectivity Q4 2023. Topics: AI programs ramping, orders growth in Communications due to AI. But is there mention of existing customers asking for more than supply? Need search. Management mentions "early ramps of artificial intelligence programs" and "sequential growth in orders" due to AI. "we continue to expect volume growth from AI applications as we move through 2024." "we had second consecutive quarter of sequential order growth which is being driven by new orders for artificial intelligence applications." "We are seeing the benefits from the early ramps of artificial intelligence programs, which will strengthen as we move through 2024 and beyond." "AI pipeline wins $1.3 billion" etc. But is there any statement that existing customers are asking for more than company can supply? No mention of capacity constraints, inability to meet demand, enlarging capacity. They talk about destocking, inventory, margins. No mention of supply shortfall due to demand. They mention "we continue to see our customers work down inventory in their supply chain" - not demand exceeding supply. They mention "we had earlier ramps than even we expected" but not that they can't supply. They mention "we're probably going to be more pleasantly surprised and negatively surprised" - no. Question asks specifically: "does management describe that BUYERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT FROM THE COMPANY AND SEEN THE RESULT ARE NOW ASKING FOR MORE THAN THE COMPANY CAN CURRENTLY SUPPLY THEM" - Need all three conditions. No evidence. So answer NO. Need be careful: There is mention of "orders" and "backlog near record levels" but not that they exceed supply. No mention of capacity expansion. So NO.
