$SIVE fell today on an EFN article claiming the photonics chief sold his entire holding — presented as alarming insider panic. Here is what I think the article can have missed. Andrew McKee founded CST now Sivers Photonics in 1999— 27 years ago. He built the photonics business from scratch. Earlier this year Alex McCann appeared publicly as the new MD of Sivers Photonics in April/May communications. McKee moved totechnology role only. His Q1 and Q2 share sales seems to align with this transition and was probably sold (if sold at all in full) parts of it even before share re-rating. My take is that is was done probably with no negative view on the company's prospects. A man monetizing his life's work after almost 30 years of building a company is not insider panic. IMO this is probably more a career ending on his own terms. He deserves it for sure. Even if he sold over 6 months, IMO this is still not a major negative signal. Three things EFN did not check: A) Holdings has known blind spots — transfers to holding companies, ISK structures and family vehicles are not captured. Did anyone verify McKee holds zero shares in any structure? B) One option program was realized in early July. If McKee sold old shares to participate that is not a major negative signal (he is not insider hence would not report sell or buy) — Holdings would not show this yet since it was in early July C) The role change probably happened before most shares was sold, Context matters. Later in the afternoon two board members has publicly shared insider purchases. Todd Thomson — board member, former Citigroup CFO, — bought 535,000 SEK on-market today at 42.80 SEK into the panic. Karin Raj bought 460,000 SEK at 34.68 SEK — the intraday low. Both reported to FI same day. People with more information about the full picture, that also had been part of approving today clarifications around the Q-reports and US Nasdaq listing. Update Vikram CEO have also aquired shares for approximately 1.000.000 SEK Summing up: Journalism created the dip. Insiders bought it. What's X view on today?

@aleabitoreddit Hi stock God, you said before $SIVE has potential to be the next $LITE. What milestones do you expect $SIVE to hit in order to achieve this? Is it simply mass production of lasers for pluggable first and then CPO/NPO? How does M&As play into this?











$nbis, $meta, $crwv, $orcl Mstanley out tonight w/ clarifying comments re: bb report. Tldr: If meta does sell compute, it will be as a bare-metal offering of spare internal 1P capacity (not 3rd party-leased) to serve as an "eps bridge" while they develop their core products. What's key is ms doesn't believe meta can or wants to compete as a full-service stack, since their models are limited & they don't have the expertise, software, or salespeople to service specialized, high-touch enterprise inference markets (precisely the markets $nbis, for instance, seeks to serve). MS suggests meta is not contractually-allowed to resell any of their 3P leased raw silicon from nbis, crwv, orcl, etc., Believes they will save their cutting-edge contracted capacity (e.g., the nebius 12B Vera Rubin order), for internal use. Net/net: If meta does enter the compute market it will be as a stopgap, and in the bare-metal, older chip market. A minor supply addition, at best; least threatening, arguably, to nebius of all the neo's; and all this only assuming a backdrop where the compute supply were to materially loosen.
