$AAOI 自今日发布论点以来上涨 24%,$LITE 上涨 5%。 从物料清单(BOM)分析来看,LITE(市值 270 亿美元)因光路交换(OCS)技术而向 TPU Ironwood 倾斜,同时也受益于 NVDA 及所有专用集成电路(ASIC)。 AAOI(市值 25 亿美元)则主要受益于 MSFT MAIA 的量产爬坡和 Amazon Trainium。 磷化铟(InP)就像高带宽内存(HBM)一样,将成为 2026 年的瓶颈,因为它们是这些部署中激光器使用的基础材料。 类似于美光和 SK 海力士的内存瓶颈,市场注意力可能会转向 InP 晶圆厂,例如 $AAOI,它是美国少数几家此类工厂之一(还有 COHR, Macom)。 但相比之下,$LITE 由于 Google TPU 的成功(来自 Meta 和 Anthropic 的采购订单),今年迄今(YTD)已上涨 362%,而 $AAOI 今年迄今仅上涨 7%。 我们主要看到这种情况是因为散户或媒体对 $AMZN Trainium 或 $MSFT Maia 部署缺乏关注,这些部署预计将在 2026-2027 年大规模量产。 然而,由于每个超大规模云服务商都希望降低其自有云平台的推理成本,它们很可能都会成功。 如果我们看到其他超大规模云服务商采用 OCS 以实现 TPU 达到的优化性能,鉴于 $LITE 在该特定领域的垄断地位,预计其估值将比现在进一步提升。 然而,如果我们看到 $MSFT Maia 量产(鉴于 $AAOI 可能正在为他们开发新架构),以及 $AMZN Trainium 量产(40 亿美元权证 + 采购订单),预计 $AAOI 将重新估值。 光电子学和 InP 将成为像内存一样的新瓶颈。 我们可能会看到投资流向下游玩家,如 $COHR、中际旭创(Innolight)、$LITE,以及 2026 年针对特定超大规模云服务商 ASIC 的隐藏杠杆标的如 $AAOI 这一主题。 市场目前正在奖励 Google TPU 供应链,但可能错过了其他超大规模云服务商 ASIC 的量产机会。

英文原文

$AAOI is up 24% and $LITE is 5% since my thesis today. From BOM analysis, LITE ($27B) is levered toward TPU Ironwood due to OCS but benefits from NVDA + all ASICs. AAOI ($2.5B), is levered toward MSFT MAIA ramp and Amazon Trainium. InP like HBM, will be a bottleneck for 2026 as they’re the foundational materials used for lasers in these deployments. Similar to memory bottlenecks with Micron and SK Hynix, we’ll likely see attention drawn to InP fabs, such as $AAOI, which happens to be one of the sole ones in America (COHR,Macom) But compared to $LITE that is up 362% YTD due to the success of Google’s TPU (from Meta and Anthropic purchase orders), $AAOI is only up 7% YTD. We’re largely seeing this because there’s a lack of retail or media attention on the $AMZN Trainium or $MSFT Maia deployments, which are largely expected to ramp up in 2026-2027. However they’re all likely to succeed due to each hyperscaler wanting to lower costs of inference for their own cloud platform. If we see other hyperscalers adopt OCS for optimized performance that the TPU achieved, expect $LITE to re-rate more than they have now given their monopoly in that specific segment. However, if we see $MSFT Maia ramp up (given $AAOI is likely developing a new architecture for them), and $AMZN Trainium ramp up ($4B warrant + purchase orders), expect $AAOI to rerate. Photonics and InP will be the new bottleneck like memory. We’ll likely see investments pour down stream to players like $COHR, Innolight, $LITE, and hidden levered plays on specific hyperscaler ASICs like $AAOI as a theme in 2026. The market is currently rewarding the Google TPU supply chain but might be missing other hyperscaler ASIC ramps.
