Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Applied Optoelectronics Inc. has demonstrated significant revenue growth, particularly in the CATV segment, which reported a remarkable 149% sequential increase and 316% year-over-year growth, driven by strong demand for quantum bandwidth networking products. The company's overall revenue is forecasted to increase from $65 million in the third quarter of 2024 to a projected $100 million in the fourth quarter, reflecting a 66% year-over-year increase and supported by substantial gains in sales to Charter. Additionally, the momentum in 400G products, which saw a 40% year-over-year and 70% quarter-over-quarter growth, highlights the company's ongoing innovation and adaptability within the rapidly evolving fiber-optic networking market.
Bears say
Applied Optoelectronics' revenue from 100G products showed a minor decline of 2% quarter-over-quarter, indicating potential challenges as management anticipates a gradual downturn in this segment in favor of 400G, 800G, and 1.6T products ramping up in the latter half of FY26. The company's performance in the 200G/400G segment exhibited a 28% growth quarter-over-quarter but with a significant 12% decline year-over-year, raising concerns about its ability to maintain revenue momentum amidst changing market dynamics. Additionally, operational inefficiencies, such as increased costs associated with supporting customer demands for CTV products and delays in product qualification and capacity expansion, further complicate the outlook and highlight risks related to demand and market share.
