Counterpoint on $MRVL / $LITE acqusition: - "Every buyer that competes with Marvell will want a second, independent laser source". They identify $SIVE / Scintil Photonics as new CW / ELS capacity, with names like $CRDO as potential partners of Sivers. - "With Lumentum sold out for years, the overflow goes to whoever has merchant capacity" Already said this before, but we'll likely see some incentive to diversify laser sourcing. Sivers was cited here, and comes online with 100M lasers / external foundry capacity (2:1 external/internal target). To demonstrate the sheer scale on that, $AAOI exit 2026 laser capacity target was roughly ~24M/year (but different blend). - "Module makers move upstream" was also another second order effect. $JBL as one example is now heavily competing with the combined Lumentum + Marvell.... There's other players like $SMTC that are explicitly doing M&A for expanding laser capacity. I don't think the overall AI valuation crash is representative of individual company strength in the optical sector. There's very compelling opportunities in the laser bottleneck in the upcoming year that I believe markets are mispricing.

Just to show a point... AI names have crashed so much to the point $POET as a business is now considered close to worthless. It's now $829.7M MC vs. ~$788M net cash. And below its $847.5M book value. Considering institutions were funding it $400m at $21, with $26.25 exercisable warrants few months ago and it's back to ~$4.8. Poet would need to rally +337.5% just to return back to the original financing price. "FOGO" (Fear of Getting Obliterated) have hit extreme levels if "growth" companies are priced near liquidation values.

All of $AEHR customers saying "In fact, that’s kind of everybody right now. Ship as quickly as you can." doesn't quite sound like any potential order cancellations lol. Genuine earnings beat, lot of orders faster than revenue recognition, and overall demand acceleration. Then there's upside: -"We believe this customer represents one of the largest potential burn-in system opportunities Aehr has ever pursued" From a "major supplier of AI accelerators, CPUs, and network processors", which sounds more like $AMD given historical context. - $AEHR saw acceleration from multiple silicon-photonics customers. - Guidance was stated to be conservative, since $AEHR was not supply-constrained and could fulfill more orders for FY2027. So likely potential for more earnings beats again. Downside was NAND related memory segments were delayed. I understand valuation compression from macro, but markets are selling things off like their fundamentals deteriorated, which is clearly not the case for $AEHR.
