分析$POET高现金低EV及产能风险,认为其技术壁垒弱于$SIVE,属高风险博弈。

好吧,这是我的 $POET 观点,毕竟子版块里有人因为我建了小仓位而在庆祝。 - 我完全没头绪。真的零头绪。他们是怎么说服股东允许他们如此大幅稀释股权,以至于: 他们现在手头有荒谬的 ~8.3 亿美元现金。 而且我猜他们快完工了,因为如果还需要更多资金,我会难以置信。 所以现在……他们有 ~8.3 亿美元用于通过并购(M&A)等业务扩张,且企业价值(EV)最近真的降得很低(例如:12.5 亿美元市值 vs. 8.3 亿美元现金在手),我认为这值得冒个险。 - 2027 年年度产能目标为 1200 万台光学引擎,这个爬坡速度相当离谱。 需要深入研究 Poet 产品的平均售价(ASP),但可能在 $125-$200?所以按 ~$150 ASP 算,收入天花板约 18 亿美元。 但他们现在有点像反向的 AAOI:没有可见的需求来填满所有产能。除了 Lumilens,它现在是一家估值很高的超大规模供应商(可能是亚马逊或微软),拥有数十亿美元的客户协议。 有趣的是,如果 Poet 利用资产负债表与三菱等玩家签署了预付 EML 协议,或与 Sivers 签署了 CW 协议。 鉴于当前的瓶颈,玩家可能会利用 Poet 作为采购供应的变通方案。 但基本上,你拥有一家超级现金充裕、大量产能即将上线的公司。而且凭借他们的财务状况,他们不会很快消失。 我不太认为其技术护城河能像上游激光瓶颈那样具有防御性,比如 $SIVE 在 CW 激光器与 OE 封装方面的技术壁垒。正如你最近看到的 Celestial 和 Poet 的情况。 但也许……未来某个时候会有超大规模企业或下游公司宣布批量协议,$POET 随之起飞。而且他们确实具备爬坡的供应链布局。 这是我最终承担的风险,但它不像 $AAOI 那样对我来说是显而易见的长期看好。

Okay here's my take on $POET, since apparently people are celebrating on the subreddit that I took small positions. - I have 0 idea. ZERO. How they convinced shareholders to allow them dilute SO MUCH to the point: They have an absurd ~$830m cash on hand now. And my guess is that they're close to done, since I would be in disbelief if they needed more. So now... they have ~$830m to grow their business like M&A, and EV actually dropped really low recently (eg. $1.25B MC vs. $830m cash on hand), that I thought it was compelling to take a risk. - Annualized production capacity target is 12M optical engines/year for 2027, which is pretty absurd ramp. Need to do more research into ASP for Poet's products, but maybe $125-$200? So at ~$150 ASP, $1.8B revenue ceiling. But they're like inverse AAOI right now: no visible demand to fill all that capacity. Aside from Lumilens, which is now a highly valued hyperscaler supplier (probably Amazon or Microsoft), with billions in customer agreements. The interesting thing is if Poet signed prepayment EML agreements with players like Mitsubishi, or CW agreements with Sivers behind the scenes with that balance sheet. And given the current bottleneck, players might use Poet as a workaround for supply procurement. But basically, you have a super cash-rich company with a ton of capacity coming online. And they're not really disappearing anytime soon with their financials. I don't quite think it's as technically defensible compared to upstream laser chokepoints with something like $SIVE around the same valuation in terms of technical moat for CW lasers vs. OE packaging side. As you've seen recently with Celestial and Poet. But maybe... there's a chance some hyperscaler or downstream company announces a volume agreement sometime in the future. and $POET takes off. And they do have the supply chain setup for ramp with that. That's the risk I ended up taking, but it's not exactly a clear as day long for me like $AAOI.
