涉及标的： $AAOI$AMZN$COHR$LITE$MSFT
在 $LITE、$COHR、中际旭创等公司中，我发现 $LITE 的不对称性（asymmetrical setup）最强，因为它是 Ironwood（含共封装光学(CPO)）、Blackwell 及其他超大规模客户专用集成电路(ASIC) 的核心。然而，$AAOI 是极致的超额收益（alpha）。尤其是作为 $AMZN Trainium 和 $MSFT Maia ASIC 扩产的对冲工具，以及美国少数磷化铟(InP) 晶圆厂之一。尽管拥有 $40 亿 $AMZN 认股权证和采购协议，12 月的订单似乎确实是基于 Maia 的集群。有传闻称 $AAOI 似乎正在为 $MSFT 的硅片开发新的光互连架构。尽管超大规模客户 ASIC 炒作和光子学反弹，$AAOI 股价毫无动静，因此在 $20 亿市值下绝对是隐藏宝石。但它高度依赖于 $MSFT 和 $AMZN（鉴于其云部门，它们很可能成功并大规模部署自有 ASIC）。
Among $LITE, $COHR, Innolight, etc. I've found $LITE to be the most asymmetrical setup since it's central to ironwood (with OCS), blackwell, and other hyperscaler ASICs. However, $AAOI is extreme alpha. Especially as a levered play on $AMZN Trainium, $MSFT Maia ASICs scale up + one of the only InP fab in US. Although they have $4B $AMZN warrants + purchase agreements, it does seem likely that Dec's orders were Maia-based clusters. There's rumors that $AAOI seems to be developing a new optical interconnect architecture specifically for $MSFT's silicon too. $AAOI hasn't moved at all, despite hyperscaler ASIC hype + photonic rallies, so it's a hidden gem for sure at $2B MC. However, it is highly levered to $MSFT and $AMZN (which will likely succeed + deploy their own ASICs at scale given their own cloud departments)
