Long LPKF as it is a critical equipment supplier for glass substrate manufacturing, a material being piloted by leading chipmakers for advanced AI packaging due to superior thermal and density characteristics.
Buy SLOIF due to its monopoly supplying silicon photonics substrates to major foundries, with 4x content per device as the market shifts from pluggable transceivers to CPO engines.
Buy FLY as it is significantly undervalued relative to peer RKLB, trading at 13x forward revenue versus 45x, and possesses a recently acquired, profitable $164M EBITDA-positive business that the market is overlooking.
Buy CRDO as its acquisition of DustPhotonics directly mitigates the existential threat to its AEC business from the shift to silicon photonics, strengthening its competitive positioning and technology roadmap.
Buy Nokia as it benefits from massive hyperscaler spending on optical networks, which are currently a bottleneck, alongside a new AI-RAN revenue stream from its Nvidia partnership.
Go long ALMU as the company secures lucrative US government contracts and establishes a critical fabrication partnership with Tower Semiconductor, a premier Western silicon photonics foundry.
Buy LASR due to escalating Middle East conflict (US Hormuz blockade) highlighting the asymmetric cost advantage of laser defenses over traditional interceptors, with a near-term catalyst from a major contract demonstration.
Go long OPTX as it is one of the only domestic polymer optics manufacturers that qualifies under NDAA Section 834 and Anduril's strict anti-China sourcing policies.
