My $AAOI TLDR notes at Rosenblatt summit:
- Expected to get paid premiums for US production of 800g/1.6T (very positive for ASP/margins).
- Several LTAs on the table, but doesn't want to sign to get capacity blocked by other customers (cough cough $NVDA).
- Sold out at least through second half of next year and beyond. (High demand visibility like $LITE)
- Has 300-400 mW lasers already.
- Expects margins to be above 40%+ once CPO comes about (probably most material for rerating).
I can't see how anyone can be bearish on this company...
