$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI.US)riding the AI and data center optics wave, AAOI is tightly leveraged to hyperscaler demand making it powerful but volatile. Any slowdown in capex can quickly pressure revenue

Great for momentum trades given the swings, but fundamentally it still acts as a high-beta AI proxy rather than a steady compounder

Key Levels:

Cyclical margins tied to demand

AI/data center buildout tailwinds

Shift to higher-speed optics (400G/800G)

Dependent on hyperscaler capex outlook
