| A real moat in AEC reliability and an n-1 cost edge, riding a verticalizing AI-interconnect ramp — but ~84% of revenue sits in three hyperscalers and ~41x forward earnings already prices in the optical pivot working. Bullish business, expensive stock; conviction gated on customer diversification proving out. | — | 1 | |
| The unglamorous AI-optics toll-collector — a 12%-gross-margin Thai contract manufacturer the market is now paying a 45× fabless multiple for; the business is genuinely inflecting (DCI +90%, 1.6T capacity doubling) but the price has front-run two years of execution AND ignores that co-packaged optics is a 2027+ structural axe over the whole pluggable-transceiver thesis. | — | 0 | |
Q Quantum Computing Inccatalyst in 44d | A $2.5B market cap on $682K of FY25 revenue — QUBT is a $1.5B treasury wrapped in a photonics R&D lab, sold as a quantum-computing story; the balance sheet is real, the revenue is not, and a securities-fraud class action over the exact gap between the two is unresolved. | — | |
L Lightwave Logiccatalyst in 44d | A 35-year science project that just turned the corner from lab to foundry PDK — credible polymer-photonics platform now inside Tower & GlobalFoundries flows, but $237K of revenue against a $1.5B cap means you are buying a 2027-28 design-win option, financed by perpetual dilution, with a 17.7% short base betting it stays a promise. | — | |
C Coherent Corpcatalyst in 43d | An II-VI/Coherent merger debt-mule reborn as the picks-and-shovels supplier of the AI-optics supercycle — backed out to 2028, Nvidia-anchored, and de-risking the balance sheet — but priced at ~49x forward EPS that already embeds flawless CPO execution it has not yet proven. | — | 1 |
