- English · 原文Lot of people were wondering about $SIVE earnings in 2 days. What I'm watching out for: 1. I'm hoping for more visibility on photonics co-development/qualifications/contracts. -> $AAOI stated multiple customers approaching them for CPO lasers (but had to turn them away) -> $MTSI stated many customers approaching them for CW capacity (but doesn't come online until H2 2027) So read through for a company serving as $GFS reference laser, $JBL for pluggables (ex. intel siph), to Ayar for CPO. And in a merchant position: -> with independent CW DFB supply (with Win semi) -> CPO-grade lasers. Is incredibly positive for more customers approaching Sivers. 2. Ongoing developments turning into volume -> I'm most excited about $JBL, which would probably be the main revenue ramp in H1 2027. -> $AEVA is likely much smaller in comparison, but should be a contributor H2 2026. -> Ayar and optical I/O players already stated 2028 for HVM, so not really expecting much there. -> Co-developments from their other pluggable players (from last ER) turning into qualifications -> volume). Aside from that: 3. NASDAQ listing -> We already got timelines for that "next few quarters", so it's not really a focus to narrow that down further. Always nice to get an update. 4. Financials -> Again, current financials aren't a focus for qualification-cycle players. Just a heads up, there's some one-time accounting this quarter, which affects things optically. Main thing is volume ramps for future quarters. -> revenue pipeline increase -> any early volume contracts signed Balance sheet concerns should be cleared now given their recent $70m fundraising + bootstrap dilution overhang gone. Bonus cookies: -> Any information about allocations secured "eg. we have substantial CW capacity secured -> would be extremely high signal given current shortages. -> Reiterate demand that AOI, Macom, Lumentum, Coherent stated. "eg. any capacity we get would be filled from demand" $AAOI had their massive $30 -> $220 rally after they stated like $471M expected capacity in 2027, and reiterated that into revenue guidance. (but then had a lot of ATMs) An ambitious bull case + full capacity revenue statement for future timelines like H1 2028 for Sivers would be nice, but not expected. A further re-rating would help for M&A with a Cloud Light type acquisition for revenue acceleration in future earnings. Obviously Sivers has other volume ramps, but I think photonics is what the market is primarily underwriting. Regardless, excited for what's up and coming.中文 · 翻译很多人都在好奇 $SIVE 两天后的财报。 我关注的点是: 1. 我希望光子学的共同开发/认证/合同方面能有更多明确信息。 → $AAOI 说有多个客户找他们要 CPO 激光器(但他们不得不拒绝了) → $MTSI 说有很多客户找他们要 CW 产能(但要
- English · 原文Not exactly, I think $AAOI stated they avoided LTAs so they wouldn't have too much capacity committed to one customer and have to turn away others. If they signed LTAs with prepayments, then that in scenario there probably wouldn't need to be such sizeable ATMs. Decision was a bit surprising though considering how well $NVDA LTAs turned out well for $LITE / $COHR. I would assume though AOI gets more pricing leverage as time goes on due to current laser/transceiver shortages.中文 · 翻译不完全是,我觉得 $AAOI 表示他们之所以避免签订长期供货协议(LTA),是为了不把太多产能绑定给一个客户,导致不得不拒绝其他客户。 如果他们签订了附带预付款的 LTA,那在这种情况下,可能就不需要那么大规模的 ATM 增发了。 不过这个决定还是有点出乎意料,考虑到 $NVDA 的 LTA 对 $LITE / $COHR 来说效果都很好。 不过我猜,由于目前激光器/收发器短缺,AOI 随着时间推移会获得更多定价权。
- English · 原文The AI semi theme is down if you look at $AVGO to $TSM. Higher beta names seem to have been hit the hardest. From trends I've seen with optical names, $LITE / $COHR recovered fastest, then larger still high beta names like $AAOI / $AXTI (halfway). Then your $SIVE / $POET type names have taken the longest. But I do see a sharper recovery when markets are more risk-on or when earnings forces re-ratings.中文 · 翻译从 $AVGO 到 $TSM 的走势来看,AI 半导体板块现在是下跌的。那些高贝塔值的股票,看起来跌得最惨。 从我观察过的光学股走势来看,$LITE / $COHR 回升得最快,接着是像 $AAOI / $AXTI 这种体量更大但贝塔值仍然很高的股票(恢复了一半)。 然后像 $SIVE / $POET 这类股票,恢复时间最长。但我确实看到,当市场风险偏好提升,或者财报迫使市场重新估值的时候,这些股票的反弹会更猛。
- English · 原文As for names Jensen / Nvidia directly invested in: - $MRVL (Celestial), $LITE, $COHR for photonics... - $CCXI (Agility) for humanoids. I tend to do more complex investing, for my own thought process: -> I know CPO theme is coming next -> Nvidia secures all CW laser capacity. -> Maybe, $AAOI, $MTSI, $AVGO, $SIVE, $SMTC are remaining CW western players. -> $SIVE probably the highest-beta exposure. SO that was my personal long. Can probably do something similar for the other themes.中文 · 翻译至于 Jensen / Nvidia 直接投资的公司: - $MRVL (Celestial), $LITE, $COHR 是做光子学的... - $CCXI (Agility) 是做人形机器人的。 我个人更倾向于做一些更复杂的投资,我的思路是这样的: -> 我知道 CPO 这个主题接下来要火。 -> Nvidia 拿下了所有 CW 激光的产能。 -> 也许,剩下的西方 CW 玩家是 $AAOI, $MTSI, $AVGO, $SIVE, $SMTC。 -> $SIVE 可能贝塔值最高,波动性最大。所以这就是我个人持有的多头。 也许其他主题也可以照做。
- English · 原文I feel like AI investing is simpler than what people expect. Because $NVDA + Jensen literally tells everyone what's coming. But somehow. Almost every. single. time. Markets dismiss it until it actually happens? Be Nvidia in 2025: Buys up EML and laser capacity. Markets dismissing it: "Photonics is a bubble and like quantum! ____ company is a scam with shady management" 1 year later: $LITE +678%, $AAOI +475.12%, $COHR +260.7%, $AXTI +3,843.9%. _ Nvidia in 2026: Buys up CW/EML capacity with LTAs. 800V shift. Extraordinary explicit about CPO shift. States Physical AI as the next theme. Markets now: "CW players are meme stocks! 800v, CPO is not coming anytime soon, Humanoids are not profitable!" Yeah... We'll see what happens in 2027. I think I'm putting my money on Jensen/Nvidia as the leading indicator.中文 · 翻译我感觉AI投资比大家想象的要简单。 因为$NVDA和黄仁勋(Jensen)简直就是把未来会发生什么明明白白地告诉所有人。 但不知怎么的。几乎每一次。每一次!市场都会不屑一顾,直到事情真正发生? 想象一下2025年的英伟达:收购了EML和激光产能。 市场不屑一顾:“光子学是个泡沫,就像量子技术一样!____公司管理层有问题,就是个骗局!” 一年后:$LITE 涨了678%,$AAOI 涨了475.12%,$COHR 涨了260.7%,$AXTI 涨了3,843.9%。 _ 2026年的英伟达: 通过长期供货协议(LTAs)收购了连续波(CW)/EML产能。转向800V架构。非常明确地提到了CPO(共封装光学)的转变。明确指出实体AI是下一个主题。 现在的市场:“CW公司都是meme股!800V、CPO短期内不会实现,人形机器人不赚钱!” 是啊……我们拭目以待2027年发生什么吧。 我想我还是把钱押在黄仁勋/英伟达这个领先指标上。
- English · 原文@JoelLikesTurtle That's literally the earliest timeframe possible for CPO scale up early volumes if you look at $LITE and $COHR earnings. And giving that specific timeframe is actually extremely bullish.中文 · 翻译@JoelLikesTurtle 如果你看看 $LITE 和 $COHR 的财报,这基本上是 CPO 最早能实现初期放量的时点了。 而且给出这么具体的时间点,实际上是非常看涨的。
- English · 原文My main takeaway was that your merchant CW laser suppliers seem to be EXTREMELY IMPORTANT now. But TLDR of $COHR earnings: "given the demand that we see in our DC business with transceivers, I don’t see any time in the near future where we would be selling indium phosphide lasers externally" - Ton more value placed on companies that sell InP lasers externally if $AAOI can't doesn't enough capacity for first gen-CPO deployments, $COHR not selling externally... I guess that's why $MTSI said a ton of customers are approaching them with urgency for InP CW DFB lasers (and they dont even have meaningful capacity coming online until EOY 2027) $AAOI -> Internal $COHR -> Internal Buyers -> fewer places to look for capacity. "Our backlog now extends out, fiscal 2027 is basically completely booked out. We are booked really through the end of calendar 2027" [ Massive massive demand visibility] - Coherent also mentioned LTAs spanning end of decade. So this kinda reinforces what $POET CEO said at their AGM that the "big 3" are fully sold out next 2 years. "we’re not constrained in the assembly and test capacity right now. We’re really just constrained by the ramp of the indium phosphide production" - Just for the bottleneck bros in terms of assembly/test not a bottleneck. "absolutely no push-out of CPO demand. In fact, it has been the opposite. We have seen demand increase and request from customers’ demand getting pulled in" "we continue to expect revenue from CPO for scale-up applications to start to flow in the second half of calendar 2027" - Big read through on other CPO players for scale up if $LITE, $COHR reaffirm revenue from CPO scale up coming h2027. - "quarterly revenue exceeding $3 billion by the end of fiscal 2027" - $COHR revenue go brrr So for regular numbers it's: - $2.046B revenue (+13.3% Q/Q, +33.8% Y/Y), main revenue ramp looks to be happening entering Q4 into 2027 - Non-GAAP gross margins: 40.2% Next quarter guide is: - Revenue: $2.2–$2.4B revenue - Non-GAAP gross margins: 39.5-41.5% Basically: $1.69B -> $1.81B -> $2.05B -> ~$2.30B -> $3.0B (end of FY 2027) ~39% -> 39.6% -> 40.2% -> ~40.5% (gross margins) For operating margins: 18.0% -> 19.5% -> 19.9% -> 20.3% -> 21.8% Little less impressed compared to $LITE margin growth in terms of profitability, but revenue scale for $COHR growing rapidly.中文 · 翻译我主要想说的是,你那些商家 CW 激光供应商现在看来是**极其重要**了。 但简单说一下 $COHR 财报重点: “考虑到我们数据中心业务对光模块的需求,我预计在不远的将来我们不会对外销售磷化铟激光器。” - 如果 $AAOI 没有足够的产能用于第一代 CPO 部署,$COHR 又不向外销售,那那些对外销售 InP 激光器的公司价值就更大了。 我想这就是为什么 $MTSI 说一大堆客户正急着找他们要 InP CW DFB 激光器(而且他们直到 2027 年底都不会有显著产能上线)。 $AAOI → 内部使用 $COHR → 内部使用 买家 → 能找的产能就更少了。 “我们的积压订单现在已经排到 2027 财年,基本上已经完全订满了。我们差不多已经排到 2027 年底了。” [巨大的需求可见性] - Coherent 也提到了长期供货协议(LTA)会持续到本世纪末。所以这有点印证了 $POET 首席执行官在股东大会上说的,“三巨头”未来两年产能全卖光了。 “我们目前在组装和测试产能方面没有限制。我们真正受限的是磷化铟生产的爬坡。” - 这是给那些“瓶颈论”兄弟们说的,组装/测试不是瓶颈。 “CPO 需求绝对没有推迟。实际上,情况正好相反。我们看到需求增加了,客户甚至要求提前交付。” “我们继续预计,用于规模化应用的 CPO 收入将在 2027 年下半年开始流入。” - 如果 $LITE、$COHR 都重申 CPO 规模化应用的收入会在 2027 年下半年到来,这对其他 CPO 玩家来说是一个重要的信号。 - “到 2027 财年末,季度营收将超过 30 亿美元。” - $COHR 营收突飞猛进。 所以常规数据如下: - 营收 20.46 亿美元(环比增长 13.3%,同比增长 33.8%),主要营收增长看来会发生在进入第四季度到 2027 年。 - 非 GAAP 毛利率:40.2%。 下一季度指引是: - 营收:22-24 亿美元。 - 非 GAAP 毛利率:39.5-41.5%。 基本上就是: 16.9 亿美元 → 18.1 亿美元 → 20.5 亿美元 → 约 23.0 亿美元 → 30 亿美元(2027 财年末) 约 39% → 39.6% → 40.2% → 约 40.5%(毛利率) 营业利润率方面: 18.0% → 19.5% → 19.9% → 20.3% → 21.8% 与 $LITE 在盈利能力上的利润增长相比,我没那么印象深刻,但 $COHR 的营收规模正在迅速增长。
- English · 原文@LightLogix Yeah looking at $COHR earnings now, pretty excited about the implications, will post soon中文 · 翻译@LightLogix 是的,现在在看 $COHR 的财报,对其中蕴含的意义非常兴奋,稍后会发帖。
- English · 原文- Because newer 1.6T optical transceivers and CPO volumes haven't ramped yet. $SIVE is targeting all the next generation optical shifts. This comes from a misunderstanding of architectural shifts, you won't get 9 figure revenue in 2024 if customer CPO scale up deployments start in 2028. - $SIVE has 130+ employees and if I remember correctly, 1/4th to 1/3d were PHDs. Lot of what they do is IP and they use Win Semi, external foundries for volume ramp. If they did assembly like $FN or $COHR, you would see employee count balloon. Not quite sure why you say a customer supplying to $JBL, $GFS, Ayar, $POET, and many other hyperscaler suppliers is a hopeless case. Probably one of the most unique ones I've seen.中文 · 翻译- 因为新款 1.6T 光模块和 CPO 的出货量还没起来。$SIVE 正在瞄准所有下一代光学技术迭代。 这源于对架构转变的误解,如果客户 CPO 的大规模部署要到 2028 年才开始,你不可能在 2024 年实现九位数的营收。 - $SIVE 有 130 多名员工,如果我没记错的话,其中有四分之一到三分之一是博士。 他们很多工作都是围绕 IP,并且利用 Win Semi 和外部代工厂进行量产。如果他们像 $FN 或 $COHR 那样做组装,员工数量就会急剧膨胀。 我不太明白你为什么说一个给 $JBL、$GFS、Ayar、$POET 以及许多其他超大规模供应商供货的客户是没希望的。 这可能是我见过的最独特的公司之一。
- English · 原文$LITE earnings are out, very strong earnings: Revenue: $1.01B, +24.5% Q/Q, +109.3% Y/Y growth vs. ~$984.6M Adj. EPS: $3.23 vs. ~$2.95 Gross Margin (non-gaap): 50.4% / Operating margin (non-gaap) 36.6% Q1 FY2027 guidance is probably more important: Revenue: $1.225–1.275B vs. ~$1.16B Adj. EPS: $4.05–4.35 vs. ~$3.63 Operating margin (non-gaap) of 39.5% - 40.5% In terms of notes: Sees: "Increasing demand for ultra-high-power CPO lasers, an initial order for ELS modules" - Great read through on other CPO players like $SIVEF, $COHR, and others. (maybe not AAOI since they're missing out on first-gen deployments) - "Breath of NPO engagements are the first signs that optics are starting to penetrate in-rack connectivity, significantly upping our optical TAM" - Revenue projections "reaching our target model more than a quarter ahead of schedule." Extremely strong earnings as expected, you have revenue going from: $808M -> $1.01B -> $1.25B while operating margin keeps increasing... Just my first impressions. Most important thing is the earnings call coming up soon.中文 · 翻译$LITE 财报出来了,业绩非常强劲: 营收:10.1 亿美元,环比增长 24.5%,同比增长 109.3% vs. 约 9.846 亿美元 调整后每股收益:3.23 美元 vs. 约 2.95 美元 毛利率(非 GAAP):50.4% / 营业利润率(非 GAAP)36.6% 2027 财年第一季度指引可能更重要: 营收:12.25 亿–12.75 亿美元 vs. 约 11.6 亿美元 调整后每股收益:4.05–4.35 美元 vs. 约 3.63 美元 营业利润率(非 GAAP):39.5% - 40.5% 重点方面: 看到:“对超高功率 CPO 激光器的需求不断增加,ELS 模块获得了初步订单” - 这对 $SIVEF、$COHR 等其他 CPO 玩家来说是个很好的参考。(AAOI 可能除外,因为他们错过了第一代部署) - “NPO 合作的广度表明,光学技术正开始渗透到机架内连接领域,这显著提升了我们光学业务的潜在市场规模。” - 营收预测“比原计划提前一个多季度达到了我们的目标模型。” 业绩如预期般非常强劲,营收从: 8.08 亿美元 → 10.
- English · 原文I'm extremely bullish on $AAOI, it's one of my top holdings? But there's an unholy amount of things to unpack when AOI said they're not participating in first-gen CPO deployments because there's not enough capacity. 1. Independent CW DFB capacity, even less than markets thought. 2. Qualified CPO laser players, even less than markets thought. 3. I remember Rosenblatt thought $AAOI would be $AMD's first CPO customer, but might not be the case anymore... And since $LITE and $COHR are in camp $NVDA and sold out for next 2 years... Some other CPO players might be more valuable than others think.中文 · 翻译我对 $AAOI 非常看好,这是我持仓里的大头? 但当 AOI 说他们不会参与第一代 CPO 部署,因为产能不足时,里面有惊人多的东西要细说。 1. 独立的连续波 DFB 产能,比市场预期的还要少。 2. 合格的 CPO 激光供应商,比市场预期的还要少。 3. 我记得 Rosenblatt 认为 $AAOI 会是 $AMD 的第一个 CPO 客户,但现在可能不再是这样了... 而且因为 $LITE 和 $COHR 都在 $NVDA 阵营,未来两年订单都满了... 其他一些 CPO 玩家可能比大家想象的更有价值。
- English · 原文Just some TLDR notes on $AAOI earnings: - Expects full qualification of 1.6T products by their hyperscaler customer within next couple of weeks (helpful revenue ramp #2, timelines) - Continues to believe that AOI will have the largest AI DC transceiver production capacity in the US (reiterating ambitions during a time when their competitors might get banned) - Expects facilities toward InP capacity to come online in early 2027 (timeline FYI in terms of further ramp) - Total capacity is approaching 200,000/u per month, EOY 650,000/u per month of 800g/1.6t. EOY 2027, 930,000/u (this is the ramp i want to see) - "increase our manufacturing capacity for our external light source or ELSFP. That's for co-packaged optics or CPO". we anticipate ramping production later this year and into 2027, ultimately culminating in about 400,000 pieces per month in 2028 (need some time to model this into revenue) - "As we have mentioned before, we've been manufacturing lasers internally for many years. This has allowed us to avoid some of the shortages that have affected others in the industry" (vertical integration bull case during CW/EML laser shortages) - We believe that in the future, CPO will continue to drive increased demand for high-power lasers (thesis validation on CPO sector) - "to our long-term objective of returning non-GAAP gross margins to around 40%" - "We ended the second quarter with $508.8 million in total cash equivalents" I need to double check if the ATM finished or not - "our ability to deliver revenue in general, and specifically when it comes to 800G products, is limited by our production capacity right now" "If we could produce more, we could ship more right now" Demand > Supply validation. - "Most of the increased capacity will be in U.S. Even so, let me say that, like I keep emphasizing, that is not good enough for the customer demand. The customer demand is 20%-40% higher." Unholy photonics demand validation across the whole sector, read through for $LITE, $SIVE / $JBL, and others is amazing. - "Not in the next two, three years, especially the demand is so big. Okay? Even combined AI, $LITE, $COHR, $AVGO all together, it's still very tough to meet the customer demand in the next few years" More optical sector demand validation. - CPO Timelines: "If you're talking about really high volume manufacturer [for CPO market], I would say more like the late Q3 next year" and "We have been working very close with at least five customer" If you care about current earnings (which I'm not really looking at closely) Revenue: $191M vs. $190m EPS: $.06 vs. $.02 TLDR: Extraordinary demand across the laser + optical sector read through. Kinda supporting Lumentum CEO statement that laser shortage is worse than memory shortages. 2027 capacity ramp on track. To map inflection period with timelines, would be around early next year, as stated in their previous earnings call. AAOI has the customers now. Limitation is making enough lasers and transceivers.中文 · 翻译只是关于 $AAOI 财报的一些太长不看笔记: - 预计在未来几周内,其超大规模客户将完成 1.6T 产品的全面认证 (有助于营收增长 #2,时间线) - 仍然相信 AOI 将拥有美国最大的 AI 数据中心光模块生产能力 (在竞争对手可能被禁之际,重申雄心) - 预计 InP 产能设施将于 2027 年初投产 (关于进一步增长的时间线 FYI) - 总产能接近每月 20 万片/单位,到年底 800G/1.6T 产能将达到每月 65 万片/单位。到 2027 年底,将达到 93 万片/单位 (这就是我希望看到的增长) - “增加我们外部光源或 ELSFP 的制造能力。这是为了共同封装光学(CPO)。”我们预计将在今年晚些时候和 2027 年逐步提高产量,最终在 2028 年达到每月约 40 万片 (需要一些时间把这个模型化为营收) - “正如我们之前提到的,我们内部生产激光器已经很多年了。这使我们能够避免行业中其他人所面临的一些短缺” (在 CW/EML 激光器短缺期间的垂直整合看涨案例) - 我们相信,未来 CPO 将继续推动对高功率激光器需求的增长 (CPO 行业的论点得到验证) - “实现我们非 GAAP 毛利率回到 40% 左右的长期目标” - “第二季度末,我们总现金等价物为 5.088 亿美元” 我需要再次核实 ATM 是否已完成。 - “我们交付营收的能力,特别是 800G 产品的能力,目前受到我们生产能力的限制。”“如果我们能生产更多,我们现在就能出货更多” 需求 > 供应得到验证。 - “大部分增加的产能将在美国。即便如此,我还是要说,就像我一直强调的,这对客户需求来说还不够。客户需求比这高出 20%-40%。” 整个光子学领域的巨大需求得到验证,对 $LITE、$SIVE / $JBL 等公司的影响令人惊叹。 - “未来两三年内不会,特别是需求如此之大。好吗?即使把 AI、$LITE、$COHR、$AVGO 全部加起来,未来几年也很难满足客户需求” 更多光学领域需求得到验证。 - CPO 时间线:“如果你说的是(CPO 市场)真正的高产量制造商,我会说是明年第三季度末左右”,并且“我们一直在与至少五家客户密切合作” 如果你关心目前的财报(我并没有密切关注) 营收:1.91 亿美元 vs. 1.90 亿美元 每股收益:0.06 美元 vs. 0.02 美元 太长不看:整个激光 + 光学领域需求异常旺盛。某种程度上支持了 Lumentum CEO 关于激光器短缺比内存短缺更严重的说法。 2027 年产能增长按计划进行。与时间线匹配的拐点期大约在明年年初,正如他们上次财报电话会议中提到的。 $AAOI 现在有客户了。限制在于生产足够的激光器和光模块。
- English · 原文$AAOI is an end of H1 2027 volume ramp player for me, since around then is when they hit inflection point of $471m/month revenue projections. Recent drafted ban on new optical transceivers coming from Innolight and others, increase weight on players like AAOI, $SIVE / $JBL, $LITE, $COHR for their 1.6T+ programs as well. Especially if finalized in 2026. Since there's likely going to be price hikes, and more demand concentration over capacity from the select few Western players.中文 · 翻译对我来说,$AAOI 是一个到 2027 年上半年末能实现产量大爆发的标的,因为大概在那时候,他们会达到每月 4.71 亿美元营收预期的拐点。 最近拟议的对来自 Innolight 等公司的新型光模块的禁令,也增加了 $AAOI、$SIVE / $JBL、$LITE、$COHR 这些公司在其 1.6T+ 项目上的权重。尤其是在 2026 年确定下来的话。 因为很可能会有价格上涨,而且需求会更加集中到少数几家西方供应商,超过他们的产能。
- English · 原文$LITE CEO Michael Hurlston at the RAISE Summit warned that the supply gap for InP lasers for AI DCs: Is facing a more severe supply chain crisis than memory. And with Lumentum's 5 InP fabs, shipments would be more than 30%+ below customer demand. This is especially visible with EMLs today but is already expanding to CW, especially as CPO ramps. I've always been a fan of the laser chokepoint + bottleneck from $AAOI, $SIVE, $LITE, and $COHR. And glad this thesis is starting to see validation.中文 · 翻译$LITE 的 CEO Michael Hurlston 在 RAISE 峰会上发出警告,说用于 AI 数据中心的 InP 激光器存在供货缺口: 面临的供应链危机比内存还要严重。 Lumentum 虽然有 5 座 InP 晶圆厂,但出货量会比客户需求低 30% 以上。 这一点在 EML 激光器上今天尤其明显,但已经开始蔓延到 CW 激光器,尤其是 CPO 逐渐普及后。 我一直都看好激光器是瓶颈和关键环节,关注 $AAOI、$SIVE、$LITE 和 $COHR。很高兴这个论点开始得到验证了。
- English · 原文$AXTI secured LTA with $COHR earlier, with a $22.3M reservation payment. As well as a LTA with $LITE today, totaling $87M ($43.5M + $43.5M) again to reserve capacity. Considering that these are both of the two leading optical players, seems positive. The actual details such as pricing of the contracts aren't known, so we'll find out more.中文 · 翻译$AXTI 之前和 $COHR 签了个长期供货协议(LTA),收到了一笔 $22.3M 的预付款。 今天又和 $LITE 签了个 LTA,总额是 $87M($43.5M + $43.5M),也是为了预定产能。 考虑到这两家都是光学领域的头部玩家,这事看起来挺积极的。 合同的具体细节,比如定价之类的还不清楚,所以我们还要等等看。
- English · 原文@Thomus0x eh, Rosenblatt June 30 note identified AMD as the likely first $AAOI CPO customer. I wouldn't quite say they aren't remotely close. $LITE / $COHR / $SIVE just look like your top 3 right now in terms of CPO laser visibility per the recent Morgan Stanley note.中文 · 翻译@Thomus0x 哎,Rosenblatt 6 月 30 日的报告里指出,AMD 很可能是 $AAOI 的第一个 CPO 客户。所以我觉得说他们根本不沾边,那就不太对。 $LITE / $COHR / $SIVE 看起来就是目前你的前三名,这主要是在 CPO 激光能见度方面,是根据最近摩根士丹利的报告说的。
- English · 原文Morgan Stanley listed $SIVE as the three core CPO laser players alongside $LITE and $COHR in their note 3 days ago. Fidelity Research, JP Morgan and others have started to take active positions. They recently raised an oversubscribed institutional round at 57 SEK. This is all ahead of US NASDAQ listing. I personally see short term liquidity disconnects relative to forward revenue around now and I'm sure institutions are capitalizing on it.中文 · 翻译摩根士丹利三天前在他们的研报中,将 $SIVE 跟 $LITE 和 $COHR 一起,列为三大核心 CPO 激光供应商。 富达研究、摩根大通等机构已经开始积极建仓。他们最近以 57 瑞典克朗的定价完成了一轮超额认购的机构融资。 而所有这些,都发生在美国纳斯达克上市之前。 我个人认为,目前短期流动性与未来营收之间存在脱节,而且我确信机构正在利用这一点。
- English · 原文Lot of people were curious about $SIVE capacity volume ramp modeling through fab-light (Win Semi + others): Using 10% of Win's wafer capacity as a low-end allocation (65% yield assumption, $50-$75 ASP): Sivers would support $341-$512M worth of annual array revenue. Given upper end of managements 50-60%+ gross margin target, would be roughly: $205–307M of annual gross profit. Against Sivers current ~$1.1B MC, would be ~: 3.6–5.4× MC/gross profit if this capacity scenario plays out in 2028. And at 15% would be $307–461M in gross profit (2.4–3.6× MC/gross profit) Sivers CEO also replied that they're working with more fabs for capacity. And from an older deck, there looks to be more qualifications since 2024. So capacity targets might be larger than what's stated here as CPO takes off. I also expect to see revenue pipeline projections hiked in future quarters, as more qualification suppliers to into HVM. _ As for demand side, CW also happens to be very bottlenecked. Lumentum are buying CW off the open market due to EML obligations from their ER transcript. And $AMD are signing LTAs to secure CW capacity (from Trendforce). So when Sivers is ramping with $GFS, $JBL, Ayar, $POET, O-NET and others... Given the current constraints, it's highly likely any independent qualified capacity that comes online would be absorbed. And as a cherry on top, Morgan Stanley named $SIVE (~$1.1B) as one of the three leading CPO laser players . Alongside $55B+ players Coherent and Lumentum in their recent note for a reason... _ TLDR: Sivers only needs a low end allocation from Win to make substantial gross income relative to current valuations. I think the largest revenue upside that isn't modeled in if they TAM expansion with M&A after US NASDAQ listing. By copying the Lumentum playbook with Cloud Light to build out entire transceiver modules or with optical engines.中文 · 翻译很多人都好奇 $SIVE 通过轻晶圆厂模式(Win Semi + 其他)产能扩张的模型是怎样的: 如果以 Win Semi 10% 的晶圆产能作为低端分配(假设良率 65%,平均售价 $50-$75), Sivers 每年能支持 $3.41 亿到 $5.12 亿的阵列收入。鉴于管理层设定的 50-60%+ 毛利率目标上限,这大概会是: 每年 $2.05 亿到 $3.07 亿的毛利润。 对比 Sivers 目前约 $11 亿的市值,如果这个产能场景在 2028 年实现,大概是: 市销率/毛利润倍数在 3.6-5.4 倍。 如果分配比例达到 15%,毛利润将是 $3.07 亿到 $4.61 亿(市销率/毛利润倍数在 2.4-3.6 倍)。 Sivers CEO 也回复说他们正在与更多晶圆厂合作以扩大产能。从一份旧的演示文稿来看,自 2024 年以来似乎有更多的认证。 所以随着 CPO 的兴起,产能目标可能比这里提到的还要大。 我还预计未来几个季度收入管道预测会调高,因为会有更多通过认证的供应商进入高量产阶段。 _ 至于需求侧,CW 也非常受限。 Lumentum 为了履行 EML 义务,正在从公开市场购买 CW,这从他们的财报电话会议记录中可见一斑。 $AMD 正在签署长期协议以确保 CW 产能(来自 Trendforce)。所以当 Sivers 与 $GFS、$JBL、Ayar、$POET、O-NET 等公司合作扩大产能时…… 考虑到目前的限制,任何独立通过认证并投入使用的产能都很可能会被吸收。 锦上添花的是,Morgan Stanley 在他们最近的报告中将 $SIVE(约 $11 亿)列为三家领先的 CPO 激光器供应商之一。 与市值 $550 亿+ 的 Coherent 和 Lumentum 并列,这并非没有道理…… _ 总结:Sivers 只需要从 Win Semi 获得少量产能分配,就能实现相对于当前估值而言可观的毛收入。 我认为,如果他们在美国纳斯达克上市后通过 M&A 扩大总可寻址市场(TAM),那将是最大的收入增长潜力,目前尚未被模型纳入。 通过复制 Lumentum 与 Cloud Light 的策略,构建完整的收发器模块或光引擎。
- English · 原文I don't see any fundamentally wrong. There's probably going to be large corrections from time to time flush out margin/leverage before things move higher. And this month seems like that time of year? $POET confirmed your big optical giants like $LITE, $COHR are completely sold out for the next 2 years, and likely into 2029 for photonics. Innolight confirmed 800g transceiver upward revisions 3 days ago, so that should be positive for $AAOI and the others. Samsung became the most profitable company in the world, and continues to project DRAM hikes for future quarters. $MU signed 16+ LTAs showing memory demand is structural... $META + hyperscaler capex plans are on the higher end of projections. I wouldn't conflate short term price movements with longer term trends. And as seen with $AEHR, recoveries tend to be extremely fast (eg. 1M of corrections wiped out overnight).中文 · 翻译我没看到任何根本性的问题。市场很可能会时不时出现大幅回调,用来清洗保证金/杠杆,然后才会继续上涨。 这个月感觉就像一年中这样的时刻? $POET 证实了那些大型光学巨头,比如 $LITE、$COHR,未来两年订单都排满了,光子学领域可能要到 2029 年。 Innolight 证实了 3 天前上调了 800G 收发器预期,所以这对 $AAOI 和其他公司来说应该是利好。 三星成为了全球最赚钱的公司,并继续预测未来几个季度 DRAM 价格上涨。$MU 签署了 16+ 份长期协议(LTA),这表明内存需求是结构性的... $META 加上超大规模数据中心资本支出计划都处于预测的较高区间。 我不会把短期价格波动和长期趋势混为一谈。就像 $AEHR 的情况那样,市场恢复通常会非常快(比如,一个月的回调可能一夜之间就被抹平)。
- English · 原文Feels like algos often miss $SIVE, after slight $LITE / optical sector recovery after CPI print. Especially bc it's trading on some random Swedish exchange, but catches up on random days. That being said it's definitely on institutional radar, especially since MS put it next to $LITE and $COHR as the three leading CPO laser companies yesterday. Just waiting for things to play out, stocks don't move in a straight line up every day.中文 · 翻译感觉算法(algo)经常错过 $SIVE,尤其是 CPI 数据公布后,光模块(optical sector)/ $LITE 板块略有复苏。部分原因它在某个瑞典的随机交易所交易,但总能在某些日子里补涨。 话虽如此,它肯定在机构的关注范围内,特别是摩根士丹利昨天把它和 $LITE、$COHR 并列,称之为三家领先的 CPO 激光公司。 就等事情发展吧,股票不可能每天都一直涨。
- English · 原文TLDR of Innolight investor relations takeaways: 1. "Overall, 1.6T market demand has not contracted; instead, 800G demand has increased significantly compared with previous expectations" Prob most important takeaway as a whole was 800G demand revision (also longer tail demand). Which is a bullish read through on US transceiver makers like $AAOI, $COHR, $LITE. Lot of new customers like neoclouds, AI model companies, contributing to overall demand rather than just hyperscalers, diversification always a bonus. 2. Innolight said the shortage covers the module supply chain broadly including: - Optical chips. - Electrical chips. - PCBs. - Other module materials From last ER, I think they singled out EMLs and CW optical chips as the most constrained. So Innolight's bottleneck list mention broadened since then. They expect some of the component availability to improve gradually from the second half of 2026 through the first half of 2027. Think a lot of this is already known from earlier though. But just some confirmation + easing timelines (EML is extremely bottlenecked, same with CW, this is probably talking about other components). 3. Innolight said module-production equipment is not the constraint. Equipment lead times remain relatively short. So this isn't really a bottleneck compared to others. 4. The overall proportion of silicon photonics continues to trend upward. Last year it was mainly 800G. This year, some 800G customers are further increasing their silicon-photonics proportion. 1.6T also added some new customers Positive for SiPH penetration eg. $SIVE / $JBL, since this shifts away from EML toward CW. Basically: main surprising takeaway is just 800g demand go brrr. Apart from that just reaffirming bottlenecks/timelines/market speculation.中文 · 翻译一句话总结一下 Innolight 投资者关系会议的要点: 1. “总的来说,1.6T 市场需求没有萎缩;反而,800G 需求比之前的预期大幅增长。” 可能整体最重要的一个要点就是 800G 需求预测的上修(也包括更长期的需求)。这对 $AAOI、$COHR、$LITE 等美国光模块制造商是利好消息。 很多新客户,比如新兴云服务商、AI 模型公司,都在为整体需求做贡献,而不仅仅是超大规模数据中心厂商,
- English · 原文$AAOI mainly gets revenue from pluggable, they’re developing/sampling related lasers but have no CPO design wins. Others like $MTSI look like they fell off the map for some reason with cpo lasers. CEO says “TBD” with commercial timing and it’s in reliability work right now. And fits the OSINT research done with Ayar removing Macom from their website. So would agree with MS that $SIVE, $LITE, $COHR imo are the three leaders to focus on for lasers.中文 · 翻译$AAOI的营收主要来自可插拔模块,他们正在开发/送样相关激光器,但还没有CPO设计订单。 像$MTSI这样的其他公司,似乎因为某种原因在CPO激光器领域掉队了。 CEO说商业化时间“待定”,目前正在进行可靠性测试。这也和开源情报(OSINT)研究吻合,Ayar把Macom从他们网站上撤掉了。 所以我同意MS的看法,$SIVE、$LITE、$COHR在我看来,是激光器领域最值得关注的三大龙头。

- English · 原文Photonics is backed by actual revenue numbers and it's an architectural shift championed by $NVDA. Quantum barely has any revenue. $LITE is completely sold out for the next 2 years (per $POET AGM) likely starting into 2029. Lumentum is so strained that they buy CW lasers off competitors (earnings transcript) $COHR is bottlenecked, so they buy EML off Lumentum. Then, $AAOI is coming in with Made-in-America independent CW capacity, are projecting $1.4B/quarterly revenue ending H1 2027 of a stupid $9.3B MC today. So all the CW capacity from independent players who have it now like $AAOI or $SIVE are likely to become scarce resources. Many other hyperscalers have already started LTA discussions (per Trendforce). And players like $AMD are currently talking with players such as $AAOI (Rosenblatt channel checks). Thematically, next 2 years is 9x TAM to US$154B per GS reports, especially with 16x/45x dollar content increase in scale out/scale up. Then there's the overall thematic AI drop from $META, which is widely misunderstood because people conflate what "excess capacity" means. And as UBS mentioned, Meta planning a cloud offering is NOT NEW NEWS. Bloomberg just has a tendency to publish information that causes doom drops across the semi sector like Nvidia export controls a few months back. But I'm familiar with what I'm holding so I'm confident in these numbers playing out. Especially when all the major players are sold out, the fundamentals catch up eventually.中文 · 翻译光子技术是有实实在在的营收数据支撑的,而且这是 $NVDA 大力推动的架构转型。 量子技术则几乎没什么营收。 根据 $POET 股东大会的消息,$LITE 未来两年(可能从2029年开始)的产品已经完全售罄。Lumentum 的产能非常紧张,甚至要从竞争对手那里购买连续波激光器(财报电话会议记录里提到了)。 $COHR 则卡在瓶颈上,所以他们向 Lumentum 购买 EML。 接着,$AAOI 正带着“美国制造”的独立连续波产能入局,他们预计到2027年上半年,季度营收将达到14亿美元,要知道它今天市值才93亿美元,简直太低了。 所以,现在像 $AAOI 或 $SIVE 这样拥有独立连续波产能的厂商,他们的产能很可能会变成稀缺资源。 很多其他超大规模数据中心厂商已经开始谈长期供货协议(来自 Trendforce 的消息)。而像 $AMD 这样的公司,目前正在和 $AAOI 等厂商洽谈(Rosenblatt 的渠道调研显示)。 从主题上看,根据 GS(高盛)的报告,未来两年市场总规模(TAM)将增长9倍,达到1540亿美元,特别是在横向扩展/纵向扩展方面,每美元内容投入将分别增加16倍/45倍。 然后还有来自 $META 的关于 AI 的整体主题性下跌,这被很多人误解了,因为大家混淆了“过剩产能”的真正含义。而且正如 UBS(瑞银)提到的,Meta 计划提供云服务并不是什么新鲜事。 彭博社就是有这种倾向,喜欢发布导致半导体行业全面暴跌的消息,就像几个月前关于英伟达出口管制的那次。 但我很清楚自己持有的是什么,所以我对这些数据会实现很有信心。 尤其是在所有主要玩家都产能售罄的情况下,基本面终究会追上来的。

- English · 原文We're in a massive EML bottleneck right now and CW lasers are getting bottlenecked now too. To my knowledge, $COHR is buying EMLs off $LITE because they can't make enough. $LITE is majority allocated to EML, so they can't make enough CW lasers. So they're buying CW lasers off competitors from their ER transcript, (probably Sumitomo, Furukawa and others), which likely feeds into $NVDA contracts. Then $AMD and your hyperscalers need capacity too but we're already in a shortage. Any capacity that comes online would likely be bought, since looks like we're in a shortage for next few years (lumentum already sold out into 2028). Not quite the same as your sk hynix/samsung/micron memory dynamic but there's still a massive moat with EML with probably only single digit amounts of players able to do this.中文 · 翻译现在 EML 产能严重堵塞,CW 激光器也开始卡脖子了。 据我所知,$COHR 正从 $LITE 手里买 EML,因为他们自己产量不够。 $LITE 大部分产线都给了 EML,所以也没余力生产足够多的 CW 激光器。 于是他们(从财报电话会里透露)开始向竞争对手买 CW 激光器——可能是住友、古河等——而这些货源大概率最终流进 $NVDA 的订单里。 然后 $AMD 和你那些超大规模客户也急需产能,但我们早就供不应求了。 现在但凡有新产能上线,基本都会被抢光,因为看起来未来几年都会持续短缺(Lumentum 都已经卖到了 2028 年)。 这和 SK 海力士/三星/美光的存储芯片情况不太一样,但 EML 的护城河依然很深,能做的玩家可能一只手就数得过来。
- English · 原文I've been getting a lot of questions about OE Solutions (138080) recently. Here's my research/thoughts so far on it: They're a small Korean optical transceiver company, similar to $AAOI. And they've become one the few EML players in the world (eg. $COHR, $LITE, Mitsubishi, Source, Sumitomo), with scarce 100G EML laser capacity for 800G/1.6T. OE appears to be trying to make the full transceiver, not just the EML. They also have finished ELSFP CPO products, with UHP CW lasers, which is sampling Q3. Likewise, OE also seems to be building out the full ELSFP, rather than selling CW laser dies, so that's more market share. So you can think of it as Korean AAOI but EML instead of CW, and less capacity/qualifications. And playing catch-up to the rest of the world. However in terms of timelines: 1. 23dBm cooled ELSFP samples start in Q3 2026 2. Sales base for 800G, and 2027 1.6T "full force" 3. Late H2 2027, H1 2028 onward probably their ELSFP enters the volume production. And it seems they're working on 200G EML capability from their investor snipper 2025 OE IR snippet referenced “100GBaud EML / 200G PAM". This seems promising given their IP/demos. ELS has just been unveiled recently, sampling starts Q3. 800G/1.6T Optical transceivers are also likely 2027. So this is basically Korea's sovereign photonics player, playing catchup to $LITE, $AAOI, and the bigger players. (Disclosure: I have positions in OE Solutions (138080). This is fundamental research for informational purposes, not financial advice). As for OE solution valuations: 1. Doesn't seem like there's confirmed customers yet for these growth verticals. 2. Probably not many people understood what they're building toward yet. 3. Yields data kinda uncertain 1. Customers: We're actually in a major EML/CW laser shortage, so any independent capacity will be sought after. I personally don't think they'll have a hard time finding customers here. I would assume anything they make might get bought out and would get extra support from Korea. 2. Institutional support: Probably not much since it doesn't meet threshold for many US institution given MC size + KR listing. I also don't think many people understood what they're building yet. 3. Yields/Capacity: OE's disclosed wafer/module utilization is low (i remember was around 31% underutilized off the top of my head), so there's enough material revenue they can generate before they need to spend on capex. I'm also not sure about EML/CW and other yields. Probably need to go ask the company. Is this some random crap co? No. It's been doing optical transceivers stuff for more than 20Y, has R&D in the U.S. and Netherlands. But their entire AI growth vertical seems to happen next year, and hinges mainly around capacity/yields. And I personally think the EML/CW tech is probably worth a lot more than their current MC, if it were an acquisition target. Especially from a larger player that wanted to vertically integrate EML for pluggables and CW lasers for CPO. Markets are probably waiting on more certainty around qualifications after Q3 sampling or earnings projections announcements. TLDR on thoughts: Some of my friends discussed this last year, was probably way too early. Saw it got many comments 2 months ago, still too early. I still think now is early, but later in Q3-Q4 might be more interesting. I personally think it's a lot higher risk than a major CPO player like $SIVE, that's embedded in Ayar, $JBL, $GFS, and many other hyperscaler suppliers. Which also has Win Semi and others de-risking volume ramp. As OE Solutions looks like a new player trying to build out an $AAOI for the optical transceivers but sovereign EML and CW laser production for CPO products. And there's a lot of answered questions around customers + volume ramp, which presents material risk. But if you believe Korea can build out an 800G/1.6T transceiver EML supply chain and ELSFP with CW lasers. With OE Solutions, it might be worth taking a look into. Still researching the company tho, just initial thoughts.中文 · 翻译最近好多人在问我 OE Solutions (138080) 这家公司。 这是我目前的研究和想法: 这是一家韩国的小型光收发器公司,跟 $AAOI 有点像。 而且他们已经成为全球为数不多的 EML 玩家之一(比如 $COHR、$LITE、三菱、Source、住友),手握稀缺的 100G EML 激光器产能,专门用于 800G/1.6T。 OE 看起来不光想造 EML,还想做完整的收发器。他们已经有了成品 ELSFP CPO 产品,配上 UHP CW 激光器,Q3 开始送样。 同样地,OE 似乎也在整完整的 ELSFP 方案,而不是只卖 CW 激光晶粒,这样能抢到更多市场份额。 所以你可以把它理解成"韩国版的 AAOI",但用的是 EML 而不是 CW,产能和认证方面还差点火候,目前是在追赶世界其他玩家。 时间线上来看: 1. 23dBm 制冷的 ELSFP 样品,2026 年 Q3 开始送样 2. 800G 的销售基础,2027 年 1.6T "全面发力" 3. 2027 年 H2 末、2028 年 H1 及以后,ELSFP 可能进入放量生产 而且从他们 2025 年投资者简报片段来看,似乎还在搞 200G EML 能力——简报里提到"100GBaud EML / 200G PAM"。考虑到他们的 IP 和 demo,这个方向挺有戏。 ELS 才刚发布不久,Q3 开始送样。800G/1.6T 光收发器大概率也是 2027 年。 所以这基本上是韩国的光子学国家队,正在追赶 $LITE、$AAOI 和那些更大的玩家。 (持仓披露:我持有 OE Solutions (138080) 仓位。这只是基本面研究,仅供参考,不构成投资建议。) 关于 OE Solutions 的估值: 1. 这些增长方向目前似乎还没有确认的客户。 2. 可能没多少人真正理解他们在做什么。 3. 良率数据有些不清晰。 1. 客户方面:现在其实正处于 EML/CW 激光器大缺货周期,所以任何独立的产能都会被抢着要。我个人觉得他们找客户不难。我甚至认为他们造出来的东西可能都会被扫货,还会获得韩国政府的额外支持。 2. 机构支持:可能不多,因为市值小 + 韩国上市,很多美国机构根本够不上门槛。我也觉得没多少人真正理解他们在搞什么。 3. 良率/产能:OE 公布的晶圆/模组利用率很低(我记得大概有 31% 的产能闲置),所以他们在需要砸资本开支之前,光靠现有的产能就能产生可观的收入。 至于 EML/CW 以及其他良率,我也不太确定。可能得直接去问公司。 这是不是一家随便的烂公司?不是。人家做光收发器已经超过 20 年了,在美国和荷兰都有研发。 但他们整个 AI 增长方向看起来要到明年才爆发,而且主要取决于产能和良率。 我个人觉得,如果 EML/CW 技术被收购的话,它的价值可能远超目前市值。 尤其是被那些想垂直整合 EML(用于可插拔模块)和 CW 激光器(用于 CPO)的大玩家收购。 市场可能在等 Q3 送样后的认证结果或者营收预期公告,才敢下定论。 总结我的想法: 去年就有朋友讨论过这家公司,当时可能太早了。两个月前看到评论区热闹起来,依然太早。 我现在还是觉得早,但到了 Q3 和 Q4 可能就会变得有意思起来。我个人认为它的风险比 $SIVE 这种深度嵌入 Ayar、$JBL、$GFS 和一堆超大规模供应商的 CPO 大玩家要高得多。$SIVE 还有 Win Semi 等公司在帮忙摊薄量产风险。 而 OE Solutions 看起来更像是一个新手玩家,想照着 $AAOI 的模式去造光收发器,但走的又是主权 EML 和 CW 激光器路线,面向 CPO 产品。 现在关于客户和量产爬坡的问题还有很多没解答,这本身就有实质风险。 但如果你相信韩国能建立 800G/1.6T 收发器 EML 供应链,以及带 CW 激光器的 ELSFP 方案。 那么 OE Solutions 或许值得一看。我还在继续研究这家公司,目前只是初步想法。
- English · 原文Yes, choosing the right theme is extremely important. Even if $POET doesn't really do anything, it still gets brought up thematically due to $LITE, $COHR, and others. Even if $RDDT outperforms extremely hard, it still gets brought down from $META, $MSFT, $CRM, and other software basket names.中文 · 翻译没错,选对主题极其重要。 就算 $POET 本身没什么动作,它也会因为 $LITE、$COHR 和其他股票而被带到主题上来。 就算 $RDDT 表现极其强势,它还是会因为 $META、$MSFT、$CRM 以及其他软件篮子里的票而被拖下来。
- English · 原文非常感谢中文社区对我最看好股票的投资思路进行的深度剖析! 总的来说,像 $AAOI 和 $SIVE 这样的激光公司是我个人的最爱,因为它们在拓展营收方面有着极大的想象空间。它们可以不仅仅局限于销售激光器,还能制造完整的光模块 以及各种光引擎或 ELS (外部光源) 组件。 又或者像 $COHR 那样,甚至可以向上游延伸进军衬底制造领域,从而实现垂直整合,并不断提升自身的毛利率和总潜在市场规模 TAM 这其中很大一部分的关键在于要率先精准踩中投资主线,毕竟去年很多人甚至都不觉得“光子学(photonics)”能成为一个真正的热门概念。 而且我认为最会让大多数人感到惊讶的是,我们目前仍处于极其早期的阶段。绝大多数的营收放量(爬坡)要到明年,也就是 2027 年的上半年乃至下半年才会真正开始! 不过,能看到中文社区大家持续不断的支持,真的让我感觉非常棒。我会尽我所能,不辜负大家给我起的 “白毛股神” 这个称号。中文 · 翻译原推为中文,无需翻译
- English · 原文Trendforce reports that $AMD is actively trying to secure CW laser supply with multiple major procurement orders... Is probably just the start of the bottleneck? There's not much independent capacity in Western supply chains left other than $SIVE or $AAOI and maybe Macom. Especially after Lumentum/Coherent got locked up with multi-year agreements with Nvidia. (disclosure, own Sive and aaoi) Lumentum is already CW laser constrained and is likely buying off Japanese companies like Sumitomo/Furukawa if I had to guess per ER, and those are probably running at max capacity. From the Trendforce report, this is: "to ensure that its future capacity will not be constrained by NVIDIA and other major Cloud Service Providers (CSPs)." I wouldn't be surprised if other hyperscalers like Amazon, Microsoft, and others saw Nvidia / AMD signing LTAs, and are trying to secure capacity next. A lot of it is game theory on not getting choked out by competitors, and looks like AMD is tipping the first domino after Nvidia. But my opinion is that this just goes and show how invaluable this CW laser chokepoint is and the companies are inside it.中文 · 翻译Trendforce 报道说 $AMD 正在积极争取 CW 激光供应,下了好几笔大采购订单…… 这可能只是瓶颈的开始吧? 西方供应链中,除了 $SIVE 和 $AAOI,可能还有 Macom 之外,已经没多少独立的产能了。 尤其是在 Lumentum/Coherent 和英伟达签了好几年协议,产能都被锁住之后。(披露:持有 Sive 和 aaoi) Lumentum 的 CW 激光供应已经很紧张了,根据财报我猜他们可能正在从住友/古河电工这类日本公司那里采购,而这些公司大概也已经满负荷运转了。 根据 Trendforce 的报告,这是: “为了确保其未来的产能不会受到英伟达和其他主要云服务提供商(CSP)的限制。” 如果亚马逊、微软等其他超大规模企业看到英伟达/AMD 签署了长期协议,然后也开始争取产能,我一点也不会感到惊讶。 很大程度上这是一种博弈论,为了不被竞争对手卡脖子,看起来英伟达之后,AMD 正在推倒第一块多米诺骨牌。 但我的看法是,这恰好说明了 CW 激光这个“瓶颈”有多么宝贵,以及处于这个瓶颈中的公司有多重要。
- English · 原文Other way around, $NVDA bottlenecked the entire industry for EML capacity. And did the same with CW capacity ONCE AGAIN with $LITE, $COHR, and $MRVL (if they have LTA in place with Celestial) I said this a few months ago, we'd see this exact same playbook. But $AMD, $AMZN, $META, and others are just so stupidly slow that they let themselves get bottlenecked. Now there's only a few merchant players like $AAOI, $MTSI, and $SIVE that they all need to fight over.中文 · 翻译反过来看,是 $NVDA 卡住了整个行业在 EML 产能上的脖子。 而且它又干了一次同样的事情——在 CW 产能上,把 $LITE、$COHR 和 $MRVL 也给卡住了(前提是他们跟 Celestial 签了长期协议)。 我几个月前就说过,我们会看到完全一样的剧本。但 $AMD、$AMZN、$META 这些家伙动作慢得离谱,结果让自己也被卡在瓶颈里。 现在只剩少数几家商业玩家了,比如 $AAOI、$MTSI 和 $SIVE,大家都得争着抢。

And is negotiating large-scale purchase orders for CW Lasers to ensure its production capacity is not constrained by $NVDA (Trendforce) Obvious CW laser beneficiaries: - $SIVE (AMD went to GFS for CPO, Sivers reference laser level) - $AAOI (Rosenblatt analyst checks) Lumentum/Coherent are kinda booked out way into 2028 as well. Lumentum is especially constrained for CW capacity already from existing EML contracts (so they probably are buying from Sumitomo/Furukawa and co). Maybe Macom and Japanese giants still have spare capacity. (disclosure, own aaoi/sivers). I predicted this last year and said hyperscalers should go more upstream to secure capacity... at laser levels, epiwafer levels, or even inp substrate levels.

- English · 原文hmm, i prefer all your upstream chokepoints over $NVDA long term since those will be re-rated the most (nvidia already largest company in the world) pretty sure hyperscaler ASICs would eventually siphon off $NVDA demand like $GOOGL TPU, $AMZN trainium programs. wouldn't be too positive for expontentially compounding revenue growth since hyperscalers were Nvidia's original main revenue stream (even indirect via Neoclouds). But $NVDA's kinda stalling everyone elses buildout by bottlenecking their programs eg. EML/laser capacity agreements years out too. And took stakes in $MRVL / $LITE / $COHR / $INTC etc. making them adopt to $NVDA standards or just owning a large %. So even if they're delaying other programs + their biggest growth vector kinda falls off one day, like how things are shifting already shifting to ASICs for inference. They'll still probably be fine given ownership stakes + will serve companies/countries outside of hyperscaler cash cows (just less revenue)+ made so much before then. But that's probably why p/e keeps going down despite revenues going up, since idk if markets thinks that growth will last forever. Or could be totally wrong and they just keep leapfrogging generation by generation + AI pie keeps growing with Jensen's 4T 2030 capex number.中文 · 翻译嗯,长期来看,我更看好你提到的所有上游瓶颈环节,而不是 $NVDA,因为那些东西的估值重估空间最大(英伟达已经是全球最大公司了)。 我相当确信,超大规模云的 ASIC 最终会分流 $NVDA 的需求,就像 $GOOGL 的 TPU、$AMZN 的 Trainium 项目那样。这对指数级复利的营收增长可不太有利,因为超大规模云本来就是英伟达最初的主要收入来源(甚至通过 Neocloud 这种间接渠道也是)。 不过 $NVDA 也在卡别人脖子,拖慢大家的建设进度,比如把 EML/激光产能协议签到了好几年后。而且它还入股了 $MRVL / $LITE / $COHR / $INTC 等公司,要么让它们采用 $NVDA 的标准,要么直接拿大头股份。 所以,哪怕它拖慢了其他项目 + 自己最大的增长引擎某天会熄火(就像现在推理已经在往 ASIC 转移了), 考虑到它手里那一堆股权 + 还能继续服务超大规模现金牛之外的公司和国家(虽然收入会少一些)+ 之前早就赚得盆满钵满,它大概率还是能过得不错。 不过,这大概也是为什么它收入一直在涨、市盈率却持续走低的原因——大概市场也不确定这种增长能不能永远持续。 当然,也可能我完全错了,它们就是一代代持续领先 + AI 蛋糕持续做大,配合 Jensen 说的 2030 年 4 万亿 capex 目标。
- English · 原文$SIVE looks like both a chokepoint and a bottleneck for CPO next year. Keep seeing information published from nontechnical people who miss any nuances. Here’s the reason why: 1. CW lasers are bottlenecked signaled by $LITE earnings. Laser fabs are heavily allocated to EML likely from former $NVDA contracts. -> Sumitomo/Furukawa = bottleneck -> Win Semi = bottleneck $SIVE does fab-lite, so are they a bottleneck? Yes, $SIVE sits in the laser bottleneck since control output supply of CW lasers from Win Semi and other fabs from allocation way early on (CEO stated they working with more capacity from other players as well). Perfect example is Kioxia/Sandisk. $SNDK controls NAND output, so they’re a bottleneck because they control final pricing. Demand exceeding supply from Ayar, Jabil, other pluggable vendors + Nvidia NVLink CPO ecosystem… final laser supply owned by $SIVE makes Sivers a bottleneck. $SIVE is also likely primary/sole source for Jabil, Gen-1 Ayar, $MRVL Celestial, and other hyperscaler asic/merchant CPO routes. So no way to get around it (can’t hot-swap single channel cw lasers with Sivers) 2. $SIVE is a chokepoint over CPO. $NVDA use $COHR, $LITE (which likely sources external cw capacity from Japanese competitors) $AVGO is likely vertically integrated as well. However: the entire ecosystem around it from ASIC programs (Marvell, AlChip, etc) and merchant programs (Ayar, Lightmatter, Lightelligence) Are all likely designed around $SIVE. Ayar for example, likely tried to multi-source with $MTSI / $LITE back in 2022 but their lasers probably couldn’t match the level of Sivers specification with arrays (removed Lumentum / Macom from their supply chain site recently) If there’s no alternative at least for the initial generations (obviously they’re working to multi-source). That makes $SIVE a structural chokepoint to go through for lasers. Even if you look at the 1.6T LRO $JBL designed, they achieved a “drastic moat” with performance built around $SIVE likely sole source. $SIVE is also the foundry level reference laser design for $GFS, which your hyperscalers use like $AMD (likely using Sivers + maybe Ayar for gen1): If every major player, who hasn’t achieved vertical integration (Nvidia/Broadcom) is using Sivers for CPO… That makes them a chokepoint. Just look at the entire CPO $NVDA NVLink ecosystem partners: every single one are all likely using Sivers. And they all use $GFS as well (where Sivers is default reference). So $SIVE is both a chokepoint and bottleneck when CPO really scales up H2 2027, over one of the biggest architectural shifts of all time (near $0 -> $81B or $91B TAM in the next 1 1/2 years from GS research note) This is why I say $SIVE looks like it could be the next $75B $LITE over the next couple years. All of this should play out next year. And it’s still trading less than a company with $50M in purchase agreements that buys Sivers lasers to repackage them.中文 · 翻译$SIVE 看起来既是明年 CPO 的关卡,又是它的瓶颈。 总能看到非技术人员发布的信息,完全忽略了各种细节。 下面说说原因: 1. CW 激光器受到 $LITE 财报所显示的瓶颈制约。 激光晶圆厂的大量产能都被分配给了 EML,很可能来自 $NVDA 之前的合同。 → 住友电工/古河电气 = 瓶颈 → Win Semi = 瓶颈 $SIVE 做的是 Fab-lite 模式,那它算不算瓶颈? 是的,$SIVE 就卡在这个激光瓶颈里,因为他们很早就掌控了从 Win Semi 和其他晶圆厂流出的 CW 激光器产能分配权(CEO 说过他们也在与其他厂商合作,增加更多产能)。 完美的例子是 Kioxia/Sandisk。$SNDK 控制着 NAND 的产出,所以他们就是瓶颈,因为他们控制着最终定价。 Ayar、Jabil、其他可插拔模块厂商,加上 Nvidia NVLink CPO 生态,需求超过了供给……最终激光器供应掌握在 $SIVE 手里,这就让 Sivers 成了瓶颈。 $SIVE 很可能也是 Jabil、Gen-1 Ayar、$MRVL Celestial,以及其他超大规模 ASIC/商用 CPO 路线的主供或唯一来源。所以绕不开它(单通道 CW 激光器没法热替换掉 Sivers)。 2. $SIVE 是 CPO 的关卡。 $NVDA 用的是 $COHR、$LITE(后者很可能从日本竞争对手那里外购 CW 产能)。 $AVGO 很可能也是垂直整合的。 然而:它周围整个生态,从 ASIC 项目(Marvell、AlChip 等)到商用项目(Ayar、Lightmatter、Lightelligence),很可能都是围绕 $SIVE 设计的。 比如 Ayar,2022 年可能尝试过从 $MTSI / $LITE 做多源采购,但它们的激光器在阵列规格上可能达不到 Sivers 的水平(最近他们从供应链网站上去掉了 Lumentum / Macom)。 如果至少在初期几代产品中没有替代方案(显然他们正在努力做多源采购),那就让 $SIVE 成了激光器领域一个结构性的、必须通过的关卡。 即使看看 $JBL 设计的 1.6T LRO,他们也通过围绕 $SIVE(可能是唯一来源)的性能,建立了一道“巨大的护城河”。 $SIVE 也是 $GFS 的代工厂级参考激光器设计,而你的超大规模客户(比如 $AMD,Gen1 很可能用的是 Sivers + 也许还有 Ayar)都在用 $GFS: 如果每一个尚未实现垂直整合的主要玩家(Nvidia/Broadcom)都在 CPO 中使用 Sivers…… 那他们就构成了一个关卡。 看看整个 $NVDA NVLink CPO 生态的合作伙伴:每一个都很可能在使用 Sivers。而且它们全都用 $GFS(Sivers 在这里是默认参考设计)。 所以当 CPO 在 2027 年下半年真正起量时,$SIVE 既是关卡又是瓶颈,而这次 CPO 是有史以来最大的架构变革之一(根据高盛研究报告,TAM 从接近 $0 到未来 1 年半内变成 $81B 或 $91B)。 这就是为什么我说 $SIVE 看起来像未来的 $75B 体量的 $LITE,会在未来几年内实现。 这一切都将在明年上演。 而它现在的市值,还不到一家拿着 $50M 采购协议、把 Sivers 的激光器买回来重新包装的公司。
- English · 原文@OGCapital25 @Chi_w_wong It's expected Celestial and Lightmatter try and multi source. But maybe for gen-1 my guess is a lot sole source / primary source with $SIVE for the $NVDA CPO NVlink ecosystem. Nvidia has their own program with $LITE and $COHR.中文 · 翻译@OGCapital25 @Chi_w_wong 预期 Celestial 和 Lightmatter 会尝试多源供应。 但可能第一代产品,我猜大多是独家或主供,用 $SIVE 来服务 $NVDA 的 CPO NVlink 生态系统。 英伟达自己也跟 $LITE 和 $COHR 有合作项目。
- English · 原文$SIVE is the most compelling CPO exposure stock to me. Despite the volatility. You probably won’t find something like this again until the next architectural shift in photonics years later. Out of the core laser suppliers, they’re all tens of billions? $AAOI = $15B Furukawa = $26B $MTSI = $29B Sumitomo = $59B $COHR = $73B $LITE = $74B Then there’s $SIVE as one of the core CPO laser chokepoints at $2.3B MC. Earnings are usually confirmation of all the little volume ramp hints like Jabil fireside transcripts for 1.6T LRO. And most returns are typically made before, not after official confirmation is just a rule of thumb.中文 · 翻译$SIVE 在我看来是最有吸引力的 CPO 概念股。 虽然它波动很大。 但你可能要到几年后光子学领域下一次架构变革时,才能再找到这样的标的。 核心激光器供应商里,它们市值不都是几百亿吗? $AAOI = 150 亿美元 古河电工 = 260 亿美元 $MTSI = 290 亿美元 住友电工 = 590 亿美元 $COHR = 730 亿美元 $LITE = 740 亿美元 然后 $SIVE 作为核心 CPO 激光器瓶颈之一,市值只有 23 亿美元。 财报通常只是确认那些小信号——比如 Jabil 电话会纪要里关于 1.6T LRO 的量产线索。 而大部分收益往往是在正式确认之前赚到的,而不是之后,这只是一条经验法则。
- English · 原文$AAOI is more pure manufacturing scale and I'm extremely bullish on them. So it's more like Furukawa + Innolight in my view? So extremely bullish for revenue ramp. $SIVE is just pure one-of-a-kind IP, where major CPO hyperscaler supplier seems to all use them, like Ayar/Celestial and others. Even $JBL made groundbreaking 1.6T LRO moats with Sivers. Sky is the limit here with Sivers and they can always vertically integrate like $COHR / $AAOI down the road too with capex spend. But their main focus right now should just creating the largest IP moat possible + outsource manufacturing to keep capex light. Can always vertically integrate the assembly, laser fab down the road too. I like them both for different reasons.中文 · 翻译$AAOI 更偏向纯粹的制造规模,我极度看好他们。 所以在我看来它更像 Furukawa + Innolight?因此极度看好其营收增长。 $SIVE 则是纯粹独一无二的 IP,主要的 CPO 超大规模供应商似乎都在用他们,比如 Ayar/Celestial 等。 连 $JBL 都与 Sivers 在 1.6T LRO 上建立了突破性的护城河。 Sivers 的上限是天花板,未来他们也可以像 $COHR / $AAOI 那样通过资本开支实现垂直整合。 但他们目前的主要重点应该是尽可能打造最大的 IP 护城河 + 将制造外包以保持轻资本。 以后随时可以垂直整合组装和激光器制造。 我因为不同的原因看好这两家。
