$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ AAOI is emerging as a major winner in AI infrastructure.
As hyperscalers build out bigger GPU clusters, demand for 800G optical transceivers keeps surging.
Reasons investors are watching:
• First volume shipments of 800G transceivers are complete
• Strong exposure to AI data center spending
• Deep relationships with major cloud customers
• Positioned for both 800G and future 1.6T upgrades
A key advantage is vertical integration. AAOI builds critical optical components in-house, which improves supply chain control and margins.
Non-GAAP gross margin improved from 19.4% to 29.2% year-over-year.
The AI boom isn't just about GPUs. Massive networking infrastructure is needed to connect them, and AAOI is well positioned to benefit.
