$AAOI is one of the cleanest R/R in the optics stack.
My 2031 base case is unchanged: $75B Market Cap.
From ~$6.7B today that’s ~11x (+1,020%).
Already +14.5% off the recent lows, I was calling this exact setup while it was getting sold hard.
If they execute on vertical lasers + even a mid-single-digit share of 1.6T/CPO (the path their own mid-2027 run-rate implies), this doesn’t re-rate gradually. It explodes.
$SIVE is even more explosive and higher-beta from a much smaller base, but it’s not for everyone.
Positioned in both. NFA.
