Rotating optical bets toward IQE while scouting glass substrates

This author is most focused on photonics and advanced packaging, with repeated preference for IQE over SIVE on risk/reward after a prior rotation. The distinctive read is that IQE/Tower validates AI data-center optical demand, while LPKF/LPK could benefit from glass substrate adoption. Late in the window, they surfaced a high-conviction HIMS $200 long call, but most signal density remains in IQE/SIVE and LPKF.

Direction this week

Conviction is concentrated in IQE/SIVE relative value, with a clear preference for IQE risk/reward while keeping SIVE constructive but less timely. LPKF/LPK glass substrate posts remain consistently bullish, and WOLF appears as a new AI power-efficiency beneficiary. Late-week activity adds a fresh HIMS long call, while QQQ is treated cautiously as overextended.

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.
