Market is concerned that AI is approaching peak supply/demand imbalance, therefore putting low multiples on many AI chip and supply chain stocks, fearing peak earnings. Vs. @elonmusk has decided to sell $SPCX compute entirely in the spot market because he thinks the compute shortage will persist for many years, and prices for compute will go even higher over time. One of these are wrong. If Elon is wrong, his business will be the first place that every customer goes to cut in an overbuild, since he is selling the most expensive compute with the shortest terms.

Yes I still have $AAOI and personally think the $6.6b valuation doesn’t price in next year’s inflection happening Q2 next year onward. I personally modeling somewhere around ~$1.9B quarterly revenue Q4 2027, ~40% gross margins. With another bump in blended gross margins as ELSFP comes online Q1 2028.
