CPO laser scarcity dominates with SIVE and AAOI longs

The author is overwhelmingly focused on AI hardware chokepoints, especially CPO lasers, InP substrates, optical transceivers, and adjacent European supply-chain beneficiaries. Core disclosed longs include SIVE, AAOI, IQE, AXTI, LPK, XFAB, and NBIS, with the most distinctive call that CW laser scarcity will rerate SIVE and AAOI as hyperscaler and AMD/NVDA demand accelerates. Late-week activity added a possible concentration increase into ACMR while continuing to press SIVE and LPK undervaluation themes.

Direction this week

Conviction intensified in optical bottlenecks, especially SIVE and AAOI, with repeated late-week support from analyst updates, position disclosures, and recap posts. The author disclosed holds across SIVE, AAOI, AXTI, LPK, and XFAB, and made an explicit add-style call around increasing concentration in ACMR. Bearish or skeptical energy stayed concentrated in SPCX valuation and IREN dilution risk rather than broad AI hardware.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
