FOCI
4Bull0Bear2Mention

Serenity @aleabitoreddit
Focused on AI photonics and semiconductor supply chains — sourcing asymmetric setups from bottoms-up value-chain research. Tracks CPO & optical modules closely, with ongoing deep-dives on SIVE, AAOI, LITE, POET.
Quick verdict
FOCI is net bullish (4 bull · 0 bear)
FOCI's focused business on optical components and FAU for customers like TSM and NVDA limits its total addressable market expansion, making a $50B+ market cap unlikely.

- @Joey_TheFarmer My thesis hasn't changed with FOCI, they'll be part of the bottleneck with FAU + passive components in $NVDA $TSM ecosystem as that COUPE scales up.
- Still holding Foci/Nextronics. There was a CPO bear post from an analyst that said there would be delays (which $NVDA denied), which caused CPO related stocks to crash. Personally think Foci will end up a bottleneck for $TSM COUPE / $NVDA and Nextronics to be a beneficiary of optical components relative to MC in $NVDA supply chains. We'll see how this plays out.
- @MosheFeins48329 That doesn’t fit in the category of $10-100B. I’m talking about the more “validated names”. CPO hasn’t volume ramped at all either, just waiting on that for MSSCorp, Shunsin, Foci, and the others.
- @awodias No, $AAOI is primarily pluggable exposure. But they have large exposure to CPO too, hence why I included the word photonics. Second favorite pure play CPO exposure would be FOCI for me.
- @MattLay Honestly extremely surprised by those two, not going up another 50% yet. I think it’s because nothing CPO has scaled up yet so it’s not reflected in their balance sheets. But I have pretty high conviction in Foci, MSScorp is a lottery ticket for inspection monopoly.
- @_juicebox99_ I don't see FOCI becoming a $50B+ company. They focus on one thing like optical components + FAU for $TSM / $NVDA, then do it at scale. So that would likely drives structural re-rating related to MC. Not quite the same as the US model of TAM expanding into $100B+ companies.
Ongoing takes on other optical names too
