| A real, scarce, China-gated InP asset that AI-optics demand made strategic — but the stock already priced an ~80x melt-up to a ~$5.9B cap on an $88M-revenue, loss-making, single-country-manufacturing base; the asset is genuine, the multiple is a dare. | — | 8 | |
| 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. | — | 8 | |
| 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. | — | 8 | |
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. | — | |
| The arms-dealer of the AI optics build-out — Lumentum owns ~50-60% of the 200G/lane EML laser chip that every 1.6T transceiver needs, NVIDIA just bought $2B of preferred to lock its capacity, and revenue is compounding ~90% YoY off a real telecom trough; but at ~52x forward earnings with two customers = ~40% of revenue and a $3.8B convertible stack now in-the-money, the price already discounts flawless execution. | — | 8 | |
| A re-rated telecom-equipment turnaround wearing an AI-infrastructure mask — the optical/AI-RAN engine is real and accelerating, but the stock already prices the re-rating (P/E ~90, +109% in 12m) while ~92% of revenue is still slow-growth telecom/IP/patents. Right business, wrong entry. | — | 8 | |
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. | — |
