AAOI stock slides 8% as Applied Optoelectronics gives back Friday rally on AI optics trade
Applied Optoelectronics shares dropped 8% to $36.43 Monday after opening at $41.05, reversing a sharp gain from Friday. The decline came as optical and networking stocks fell broadly, even as the Dow and Nasdaq rose. In December, the company announced its first large order for 800G data-center transceivers, expected to add $4–8 million to Q4 revenue. The company forecast Q4 revenue of $125–$140 million.
