Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Applied Optoelectronics Inc. has demonstrated impressive growth in its CATV segment, reporting a 149% sequential increase and a staggering 316% year-over-year growth, driven by strong demand for its quantum bandwidth networking products, particularly a significant order from Charter. The company's expectations for sequential revenue increases in the upcoming quarters, alongside an anticipated increase in gross margins, highlight its potential for sustained financial improvement. Additionally, the company’s strong sales to Amazon, combined with its ability to successfully secure equity raises following positive customer contract developments, suggests robust operational momentum and a favorable outlook for future revenue growth.
Bears say
Applied Optoelectronics experienced a slight quarterly decline of 2% in 100G revenue, alongside anticipated challenges in maintaining market share as new, higher-capacity products like 400G and 800G are set to ramp up in late 2025 and 2026. The company reported lower gross margins on its CTV product sales due to incurred additional costs, raising concerns about profitability. Additionally, while 200G/400G revenue grew by 28% quarter-over-quarter, it represented a year-over-year decline of 12%, indicating potential market demand issues and capacity expansion challenges that could further impact overall revenue performance.
