The AI Buildout Is Moving Beyond The Chips

One of the clearest market lessons of the last few months is that the AI trade is broadening. It is no longer just about who makes the most powerful chips. It is also about the infrastructure that lets those systems talk to each other faster and more efficiently. That is part of why a leading chipmaker recently bought a stake in the photonics company we are trading today.

That matters because it suggests the bottleneck is moving outward. As inference demand rises and data centers scale, optical interconnect and photonics are becoming more important pieces of the stack.

Why We’re Back Here

This is also a previous winner for us. It showed up again in our Top Names and it still has a workable technical setup, and a near-term catalyst we can trade around.

Full details below.
