$Tradr 2X Long AAOI Daily ETF(AAOX.US)AOI recently announced securing a $53 million order for 800G optical modules from a North American HyperScale customer. Shipments are expected to begin in Q2 2026 after product certification and be completed by mid-Q3. This order is from the same customer as the previous 1.6T order (1.6T shipments are expected to be concentrated in Q3-Q4). Additionally, both Lightwave Technology and Yuanjie Technology's annual reports showed strong growth. From Nvidia's investment in a leading North American optical communication company, to the expansion and better-than-expected guidance from various manufacturers at OFC, and the popularity of various technology routes, to the continuous order validation from the North American second-tier module manufacturer AOI, all confirm the industry's supply-demand imbalance. The prosperity of the optical interconnect sector is assured for this year, next year, and even longer, making it a gem in global AI investment. We continue to monitor opportunities in the optical interconnect sector.

Citi's interpretation of the optical communication landscape post-GTC and OFC extends the CPO TAM assessment period to 2028, maintaining the forecast for CPO switch shipments in 2025-2027 at 300/5,000/209,000 units. Of these, scale-out shipments are 300/5,000/40,000 units, and scale-up are 0/0/169,000 units. Citi also provided its first estimate for 2028 at 691,000 units, broken down into 100,000 scale-out and 591,000 scale-up. This calculation is based on a 60% deployment rate of either 7 million Nvidia Rubin Ultra GPU chips or 48,600 NVL576 racks. Simultaneously, Citi refined its CPO component assumptions. The updated market size for the four core CPO-related components is expected to peak in 2028, with FAU/connectors, ELSFP, optical fiber switching, and optical fiber trays reaching scales of 10.4 billion, 29.6 billion, 89.6 billion, and 55.7 billion yuan respectively. Each component market is expected to see several-fold growth from 2027 to 2028.

Of course, this stock: is quite a meme stock

Especially at high levels, when it goes up, they dump shares like crazy

My reflection: The fundamental analysis was okay

But it was too emotionally volatile 🙃🙃
