光子学是继内存之后的下一个瓶颈。 如果你还不信？ $LITE 首席执行官出来说了： "我们真正售罄直到2027年底。我们看不到尽头。" 这与$INTC 首席执行官说内存短缺"2028年前无法缓解"惊人地相似。 但不同的是……光子学作为AI的新架构范式才刚刚开始放量。 当前 EML 激光器 + 光收发器的瓶颈不可小觑。 超大规模云服务商正在抢购任何 EML 产能或光收发器，$AAOI、$LITE、$COHR 及其下游供应商能生产的他们全要。 首席执行官还重申："我们完全售罄。"该公司[$LITE]"远远、远远低于"客户需求量。 "Lumentum 表示其发货量低于需求约 25% 到 30%，且所有产能已通过长期协议完全分配至2027日历年度。" 如果光子学领域未来两年完全售罄、看不到尽头。 而且在价格上调之前。 在共封装光学(CPO)等增长引擎尚未开始放量之前。 市场可能还没有定价某些东西。
Photonics is the next bottleneck after memory. If you're not convinced yet? $LITE CEO went out and said: "We're sold out really until the end of 2027. We see no end in sight." This is eerily similar to $INTC CEO saying "No Relief" on Memory Shortage Until 2028. But instead... Photonics has only started to ramp up as the new architectural paradigm of AI. The current EML laser + optical transceiver bottleneck cannot be understated. Hyperscalers are buying any EML capacity or optical transceiver, $AAOI, $LITE, $COHR, and downstream providers can make. The CEO also reiterated: "We are completely sold out." The company [ $LITE ] is "way, way under-shipping" what customers want. "Lumentum says it is under shipping demand by roughly 25% to 30%, and that all capacity is fully allocated under long-term agreements through calendar 2027" If the photonics sector is completely sold out for the next two years with no end in sight. Before there's been any price hiking. And before growth engines like CPO have even started to ramp up. There's probably something the markets haven't priced in yet.
