@Batemanzm75 I’m gonna go ahead and make a random prediction in a year:
$AAOI - $70B MC
$SIVE - $30B MC
Foci - $15B MC
Shunsin - $10B MC
$AAOI$SIVE
- $AAOI at $12B
- $SIVE at $2B
- Foci at $2.8B
- Shunsin at $2B
Usually the best risk/reward to me currently. Lot of my answers before like $AXTI already 10x’d, so different lineup this time.
$AAOI due to absurd H1 2027 revenue projections from capacity ramp, doing everything from laser fab to assembly in America.
$471M/month… that’s in 2027, the TAM increases exponentially in 2028.
$SIVE is also ramping absurdly high, 77% revenue pipeline growth of the entire company’s history to ~$799M
Primarily from photonics… in a single quarter. And they’re projecting 60% gross margins off that.
Foci - $NVDA / $TSM primarily FAU supplier and bottleneck for COUPE. Genuinely not sure how this is $2.8B.
BOM share for their passive components + FAU are massive in 2028. Just a bit early H1 2026.
Shunsin - Legit you see Foxconn get CPO/photonics related orders over and over for $NVDA and others.
Just nobody knows the packaging/testing gets done by Shunsin.
A lot of contracts are also under Shunsin’s subsidiary too.. so markets/algorithms don’t know what’s coming imo.
Runner up is $XFAB, they’ll probably be central to EU CHIPS act 2 for silicon photonics at ~$1.5B MC.
And of course SiC/GaN foundries should go brr with 800vdc push by Nvidia.
Especially if they’re the only high volume one in United States per Dpt. Of Commerce.
And it’s such a low price/book ratio so you’re kinda getting the company upside for free, while US Gov/EU Gov subsidize their capex.

To be fair Trump did tell everyone to buy $DELL, multiple times this year.
He did go out and buy $1-$5M worth of Dell stock himself after all…
But should have seen this coming with Dell blowout earnings. After what happened with $INTC.
If you feel like you’re late, there’s a lot of implications to Dell’s upstream suppliers that markets might not have priced in yet.

@ram_blings Not 1:1 but $LITE gross margins are ~45-48%.
Having 60% gross margins for $SIVE is extreme pricing power.
And that’s on top of exponentially growing revenue pipelines… at the very beginning of the CPO supercycle.
$LITE$SIVE
@KPACTAFXAMCTEP Thanks for asking that question.
What an absolutely legendary response from $SIVE CEO.
And this type of answer around demand just derisks Sivers a ton.
$SIVE
Holy crap, this is the most bullish thing I’ve heard from $SIVE so far.
From earnings transcripts:
“We do not look at competitors when demand far outstrips supply” (literally anything they make gets bought)
Along with: “We see 60% gross margins in the future” (incredibly high)
“We have two technologies that can feed into these three supercycles that are currently going on.” (Holy revenue opportunities)
My high conviction CPO/photonics long is $SIVE for a reason.
↗ Quoting @garrls0n
$SIVE
$SIVE basically took their entire revenue pipeline.
In the entire company’s history.
Then grew that by 77% in the first 3 months.
Thats by far the clearest indication of the inflection of the CPO supercycle.
It’s probably going to look exponential from here on out. https://t.co/81pYk3Y36V https://t.co/AHr6Opff9r
↗ Quoting @aleabitoreddit
$SIVE
Extremely bullish on $SIVE.
I’m very brutally honest when it comes to earnings reports on the names I own.
We got 77% forward growth indications from the entire company’s pipelines… over a single quarter.
$JBL ramp confirmation.
Then multiple volume ramp production starts from management. Multiple.
Should keep exponentially growing over next two years.
This was just the inflection point I called out.
$SIVE$JBL
@BigKaiWang Sequential 77% growth.
Basically entire company revenue pipeline from all these years. And it increased 77% in the first few months of 2026.
Absurd forward growth indications coming from $SIVE.
$SIVE
@dockery58 Thanks, I’m still waiting on the transcript to come out.
But glad they clarified $JBL volume ramp is coming and photonics is their main growth vector.
Great thesis validation so far.
$JBL
@RyanU_1F42B This is 77% growth, from literally the start of the CPO supercycle H1 2026.
I’d expect that number to just keep on compounding exponentially as we approach H2 2027, which is the true inflection of scale up CPO.
$SIVE
@cobra_mindset1 77% growth in 1 single quarter. From the entire company’s operating history to date.
I’m not sure if markets realize how high that is and represents a structural shift in forward revenue growth indications.
Extremely positive in regards to $SIVE thesis validation so far.
$SIVE
77% growth of forward revenue projections…
Over a single quarter is absurdly high growth. And validates volume ramp expectations with $SIVE.
Just want you want to hear from qualification cycle players, along with “multiple volume ramp” production start.
And that should compound a lot further as other volume ramps start
$SIVE
Only thing to look at with $SIVE earnings is forward growth.
Nobody cares about pre-development contract earnings from 2025 or last quarter, especially for qualification cycle optical players.
Having 77% growth of opportunity pipelines (revenue volume ramp projections), to $799m
In a quarter is absolutely incredible growth. And, I’d expect to see that continue compounding.
“The company continues to anticipate several volume production starts within AI data centers” (photonics/lasers).
Is also very positive and validates the thesis about volume ramp for photonics.
Now next thing to look at is earnings call transcript, once they’re indexed, which is the most important signal of what’s to come.
Overall, very positive.

$HPS.A is close is to a 2M timeframe.
Transformers in the Sky are up 83.3% since. Bumblebee go brrr?
But in all reality, transformers demand visibility is very high, solid backlog, high market share (of dry).
Not exactly parabolic, but looks like a compelling compounder. https://t.co/bNGwjqfZ4M https://t.co/NkOSKHXXDo

I’m actually even more bullish on $AAOI at $13B MC given all the recent laser bottlenecks…
Than I was back at $2B or $6B.
I also think markets missed the analyst note around potential long term supply agreements with $NVDA or $AMD.
If they’re projecting $471M in H1 2027… that’s absurd ramp.
But of course the $600M ATM is a short term overhang.
Just a matter of waiting time? Given it’s more about keeping up with demand…
So more of a matter of how much they can make.
Probably my favorite US-based photonics long stock now that I own.

Holy crap… My $EWY 2028 leaps are now up 428%+.
So 5.2x ROI trade, in 3 months.
Thats what happens when IV increases and underlying memory assets in SK Hynix / Samsung also appreciate. https://t.co/XdE21DOyoz https://t.co/bOADobOLLx

@Frenchie_ Basically, so much negative coverage on $SOI just for it to go up 340%+ afterward.
It’s weird Europeans keep shorting their own frontier companies, rather than just letting it grow.
$SOI
Always a good time interacting with European outlets.
Back at $44 EUR, European media said $SOI was an:
- -“overvalued stock”
- “buying now would undoubtedly be a big timing errors”
- “purely speculative bases”
And traditions analysts had no clue why it had risen.
$SOI is now up 342% since by the way.

$SOI
Few months ago, a European publication called my $RPI idea:
- “mass stupidity”
And said:
- $RPI shares would: “come crashing back to reality”
Then called it a:
- “Meme stock”.
Earnings report came out? Blew away revenue expectations.
It’s very interesting that media can just write all this slander…
Then pretend it never happened when it ages so badly.
Amount of media slander from $SOI to $SIVE has been pretty incredible.

@duedilligently I haven’t seen anyone credible doubt Win Semi’s ability to scale capacity.
They’re extremely dominant, and are a critical part of current supply chains from SpaceX to $AVGO.
$AVGO
$SIVE is the most compelling CPO/photonics exposure to me.
Addressing the disinformation: I haven’t sold and don’t plan to sell a single share.
I do think this ends up the next $80B+ $LITE one day from ~$2.1B.
And I personally have plans to acquire more ownership + support their M&A prospects.
I believe earnings transcripts will be strongly positive.
As in the part few months we’ve discovered:
> AlChip/Amazon private placements, which is positive for Ayar -> $SIVE implying Trainium 4 design in
> Wiwynn + Ayar CPO scale up
> $JBL 1.6T optical transceiver ramp with Sivers incoming faster than markets expected (with relatively dramatic moat + demand as much as they can produce)
> O-Net scaling up ELS efforts with $SIVE
> $YSS acquisition of $SIVE allspace lead partner, designing Sivers into Space defense primes
> New CHIPS ACT funding for $SIVE
> $POET H2 volume ramp and their new $50m -> $500m order (with $SIVE as light source)
> information discovery around $AAPL using $SIVE lasers for next gen consumer devices
> information discovery around links to Lightelligence (went public $10B+ MC) + Lightmatter as likely customers.
> Celestial volume ramp with $MRVL indicators.
> new customers working on TFLN with $SIVE like Lightium
> $AMD going with $GFS for CPO, and GFS listing sivers as one of two laser suppliers
> Ayar removing $MTSI / $LITE from their website and signaling $SIVE as primary source/sole source
> Ayar raising $500m for volume ramp (intel, Mediatek, Nvidia, amd etc)
> pluggable TAM expansion signaled from 2025 annual report
> Nasdaq listing expected soon
> MSCI small cap index / Nasdaq omx inclusion, making Blackrock, Vanguard and others passive buyers
> M&A signaled from 2025 annual report + 2 new board members that have experience in that area
> $NOK as likely customer from 2025 annual report.
> $LITE getting cw bottlenecked from EML contracts, $SIVE signaling capacity agreements in place with Win, making the a likely bottleneck owner + chokepoint in CPO sector.
All of this market research was done before earnings.
Any results is just confirmation of supply chain mapping done.
I don’t think anyone cares about former quarter revenue since $SIVE is an exceptionally compelling 2027 long, especially H2 onward.
Only thing I’m looking at are:
> TAM expansion of the overall photonics supercycle (eg. optical engine, ELS, pluggables) either from M&A or developments
> volume ramp expectations from existing companies
> Nasdaq listing timelines for more liquidity to support their M&A efforts
> any new customers signaled for CPO/Pluggables
