Datadog back auf Support bei ca. 118 USD. Langfristig bin ich bullisch, aber ich kann leider keine 1000 Aktien im Portfolio halten 😭














Bevor sich hier alle einscheißen, möchte ich nur kurz mal sagen: Wie schon in 2025 mehrmals erklärt, sind Zwischenwahljahre (bei uns 2026) fast immer Ultra Scheiße. In Zwischenwahljahren gibt es immer viel Unsicherheit, es entstehen fast immer die schlimmsten Narrative am Markt und plötzlich denken viele, die Welt geht unter. Wachstumswerte und Techaktien leiden dann immer am meisten, weil die Investoren nur sehr schwer mit dieser Unsicherheit umgehen können. Im darauffolgenden Jahr löst sich dann plötzlich fast alles davon in Luft auf und es geht bei Tech und Wachstumswerten ordentlich nach oben 😂 Absolut niemand weiß, wie es dieses Mal laufen wird, daher solltet ihr euch eure eigenen Gedanken machen und alles an eure individuelle finanzielle Situation anpassen!







Special Report: The Geopolitics of Light. Photonics in the Grip of MoXton. Before we dive in: Bookmark this report. The photonics supply chain is moving faster than the GPU market did in 2023. You will want this map when the next round of MoXton headlines hits the tape. Investors have been racing for every gram of Nvidia silicon for two years, but a brutal truth is surfacing: silicon is hitting a wall. At speeds of 1.6T and 3.2T, traditional copper in data centers acts like an insulator. The future of AI is photonics: transmitting data via light. However, in February 2026, the path for that light was blocked by a geopolitical checkmate. The MoXton Act (officially the Remote Access Security Act) and the Section 232 Proclamations are the legislative pincers currently reshuffling the portfolios of the world's biggest tech players. 🛑 1. AXTI in the Pincers: 25% Tariffs and Chinese Blockades If you hold AXT Inc $AXTI, January 2026 was a cold shower. First, the Section 232 Proclamation slapped a 25% tariff on the import of Chinese-origin compound semiconductor wafers. Shortly after, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) tightened the screws by delaying export permits for Indium Phosphide (InP). The Verdict: $AXTI is currently a patient on the operating table. CEO Morris Young has announced a plan to double InP capacity outside of China by the second half of 2026. The billion-dollar question is whether they can scale in Vietnam and the US fast enough before tariffs and permit delays drain their cash reserves. ⛓️ 2. The Raw Material Monopoly: 5N Plus $VNP.TO Indium does not grow on trees. In a world where China regulates exports as a strategic weapon, Canadian-based 5N Plus $VNP.TO has become the gatekeeper. They are the only Western refiner capable of producing "seven-nines" (99.99999%) purity indium. Backed by an $18M US government grant for their Utah facilities, $VNP.TO is a classic play for national security. Without their ultra-pure indium, there are no AI lasers. ⚡ 3. The Silicon Prosthetic and the Thermal Ceiling Giants like GlobalFoundries $GFS and Tower Semiconductor $TSEM are promoting Silicon Photonics (SiPh) as a workaround for the InP crisis. While it is an excellent cost-effective solution for the 800G mass market, it hits a glass wall at 3.2T. Silicon does not emit light. It requires gluing an InP laser as an external light engine. At higher speeds, these modules become miniature heaters exceeding 40W, leading to thermal drift. The Conclusion: Silicon is a temporary bridge. The true AI elite will require pure InP and TFLN (Thin-Film Lithium Niobate) technology, where Lumentum $LITE currently holds the edge. 🔬 4. The Emission Giants: Lumentum $LITE vs Coherent $COHR This is where the magic happens. Lumentum $LITE is the king of the "great escape," utilizing factories in Japan and the US to capture customers fleeing from $AXTI. Meanwhile, Coherent $COHR is the powerhouse of vertical integration. They do not just buy components; they grow them. Their EML (Electro-absorption Modulated Lasers) are currently the gold standard for Nvidia-based clusters. If you want to bet on the brains of photonics, these are your targets. 🌐 5. Corning $GLW: The Backbone of the Glass Grid While others argue over chips, Corning $GLW is building the roads that light travels on. Their new generation of ultra-small diameter fibers is the circulatory system of 1.6T networks. $GLW is a safe harbor. They profit regardless of which chip technology wins the race to 3.2T. Their $12B backlog proves that the AI infrastructure build-out is only just beginning. 🏭 6. The Ultimate Choke-Points: Fabrinet $FN and Nittobo 3110.JP Finally, we look at the two narrowest bottlenecks in the world: ➡️Fabrinet $FN: The only company capable of mass-assembling these complex optical sub-assemblies with sub-micron precision at their Thailand facilities. They are MoXton-compliant and indispensable for Broadcom and Nvidia. ➡️Nittobo 3110.JP: An absolute, ruthless monopolist. They control 90% of the market for specialized Low-Dk (T-Glass). Without their glass fiber, the electrical signal blurs before it even reaches the laser. This is the real AI Tax. 📊 Investment Conviction: February 2026 Analysis Capital is currently flowing toward safety and vertical control. 5N Plus $VNP.TO is the go-to for raw materials because Indium is the new oil, and they own the Western tap. Lumentum $LITE, up 38.5% YTD, is the primary beneficiary of the supply chain shift as they have capacity where the MoXton tariffs do not reach. For those looking for high-risk recovery, AXT Inc $AXTI remains a speculative play on their ability to move production. However, the most consistent winner is Nittobo 3110.JP, up nearly 48% YTD. Their dominance in Low-Dk glass means that until a physical alternative is found, they dictate the price of progress. Finally, Fabrinet $FN remains the essential execution partner for the entire industry. 💬 Discussion Time: The Photonics Paradox The AI revolution is no longer just about software or GPU compute; it is a battle for the physical medium of data. As the MoXton restrictions tighten, the gap between the "integrated survivors" and the "fragile assembly lines" will only widen. What is your conviction for the 1.6T era? Are you betting on the vertical integration of $COHR, or the untouchable monopoly of 3110.JP? If you found this deep-dive valuable, share it with your network and let's discuss the next bottleneck below. The light must flow. #AI #Photonics #Investing #MoXtonAct #AXTI #LITE #Nittobo #Fabrinet #VNP #Coherent #Corning
