The "new stock god" Serenity remains bullish on AAOI: Demand for optical communication surges amid laser bottlenecks, the $1.3 billion market value is still underestimated
BlockBeats reported on May 29 that the "new stock god" Serenity stated in a post that although Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) has seen its market value rise to about $13 billion, compared to when it was at $2 billion or $6 billion, Serenity is now even more bullish.
Serenity believes that the recent laser supply bottleneck caused by the expansion of AI infrastructure is reinforcing AAOI's long-term value. The market is also ignoring analysts' expectations that AAOI may sign long-term supply agreements with NVIDIA or AMD.
Serenity pointed out that if AAOI's revenue forecast reaches $471 million in the first half of 2027, this would mean an "extremely exaggerated ramp-up in production capacity." However, Serenity also acknowledged that the company's current $600 million ATM financing plan is a short-term drag.
Serenity stated that AAOI's core issue is no longer demand, but rather "how much the company can actually produce," and referred to AAOI as the most promising U.S. photonics long position at the moment.

BUZZ - Goldman Sachs says the price cap on cancer drugs has limited impact on Indian hospitals
October 9 – Goldman Sachs pointed out that India's implementation of a 30% profit margin cap on non-scheduled anticancer drugs (link) will have limited impact on hospitals. The report states that, based on preliminary discussions with hospital chain groups, such drugs account for less than 5% of hospital revenue and 2% to 2.5% of operating profit. The report adds that hospitals can offset the losses by slightly adjusting service charges, such as administration fees. According to a government notice, an expert committee will finalize the list of drugs to be brought under regulation. Driven by the anticipated price cap, the share prices of Max Healthcare MAXE.NS, Apollo Hospitals APLH.NS, and Fortis Healthcare FOHE.NS rose by 1.6% to 2.5%. Previously, since September 30, these stocks had collectively declined by 11% to 11.5%. Year-to-date, FOHE and MAXE are down 11.7% and 14.8%, respectively, while APLH has risen by 11%.
