Kevin Xu - Update: - $BOT is down 30% from his post ❌ - $QS was a loss ❌ - Gave up on $IREN ❌ - $HIMS was a loss ❌ $199 Subscription for the above trades. Yikes








I still am bearish on $IREN. Algorithms/retail probably read $NVDA + $IREN partnership and bought it up. However, if you look at the realtity, it's just looks like brand agreement giving $NVDA risk-free convertible notes. So $IREN can continue selling their $6,000,000,000 ATM into retail investors. It's the equivalent of a startup using AWS and saying they have an Amazon partnership so give them $6B. This wasn't Nvidia directly funding $IREN yet, just a risk free option to. There's a "5 GW deployment" but I'd rather not be the one buying into the dilution to fund it.




Changed my mind about Soitec ( $SLOIF ) and took a sizable position ~43 for CPO exposure. $NVDA GTC next week biggest catalyst pushing photonics and this architecture. ~1.5B euros MC. Trading at 1x book value and ~2x P/S (very depressed valuations) Genuine monopoly over substrates side for CPO (typically very premium valuations for photonics + even extra premium for monopoly status) Algos and analysts might get confused over market share but it’s an actual monopoly over SOI substrates since they give licenses to other players like Shin Etsu for diversification sake eg. $TSM doesn’t like just 1. I don’t think institutions will wait until next year to frontrun these names like Soitec or $TSEM (and most probably haven’t even heard of these names like $AXTI yet) This timing would be buying the likely bottom of the depressed smartphone cycle, while getting full upside of CPO mid-late 2027 + $NVDA GTC catalyst next week. I personally think it’s a 3x from here so I went long.









As I mentioned, I was going to choose between $322310 (Auros) or $AAOI In the end, I opened a position in $AAOI at $149 Contrary to what many think, the results have been very good The financials aren't what's important in these cases, but rather the projections $AAOI is positioned incredibly well for the CPO ramp up The position in $322310 (Auros) is still on the table I might sell the position, but not for this reason Rather, it's because I need liquidity $SIVE is dropping significantly If it continues to fall, I prefer to buy more This way, I can concentrate my portfolio even further



Taiwan $NVDA CPO supply chain ide #1: Shunsin (6451 TWSE) - Photonics Packaging at ~$1.4B MC. It's a subsidiary of Foxconn. And Foxconn is ODM for $NVDA. It's almost like Celestial got listed by $MRVL and got a free piggy back ride? Some personal est. 2027 fwd ~20 P/E, that compresses harder into 2028, 2029. Shunsin's optical division openly lists their markets as "CPO 51.2T/102.4T" and "Pluggable XCVR 800G/1.6T. Markets themselves as "Supported by Foxconn's vertically integrated supply chain for fast project ramp" If you look at $TSM COUPE for $NVDA, they don't assemble final fiber arrays/racks, Foxconn does. So $NVDA's CPO networking gear probably goes through Shunsin's alignment and bonding machines? And $GOOGL, $META optical switches probably end up thorough them too since they scaled Vietnam CPO facilities (speculative). Basically you get a free Foxconn piggy-back ride with this company at low forward multiples. Disclosures: I am personally long.



@aleabitoreddit @aleabitoreddit What do you think of TOWA earnings report? I'm thinking of adding a bit more today 🤔
