So $AAOI printed overnight. Revenue cleared. the guide was $180-198M. they printed about $192M.
can they keep building 800G / 1.6T capacity, month by month? seems so
Q1: ~100k units/month
Q2 target: capacity approaching 200k/month.
Year-end: ~650k/month reiterated. Management still says demand exceeds capacity through mid-2027.
so: the factory ramp is real.
the mix and margin still have to catch up.
