5 Photonics Stocks Powering the AI Data Center Boom
Hyperscalers need faster links, lower power, and less copper drag. Below are 5 names positioned around lasers, optical engines, switches, and interconnect control.
$AAOI — Applied Optoelectronics
$AAOI is a pure-play hyperscale optics bet. The key signal is not headline sales, but the first large-volume 800G shipment to a major hyperscaler. Capacity plans are the real bull point: 5,000 ELSFP modules/month by end-2026, then 400,000/month by late 2027. If AI clusters keep pushing 800G/1.6T demand, $AAOI moves from niche supplier to scale player.
