Applied Optoelectronics Stock Surges Again as AI Data-Center Demand Outruns Supply

Applied Optoelectronics Stock Surges Again as AI Data-Center Demand Outruns Supply

Applied Optoelectronics shares surged 21% Wednesday, trading at $227.05 after strong demand from AI data centers pushed first-quarter data-center revenue to $81.4 million, up from $32 million a year ago. CFO Stefan Murry said supply remains the main constraint, with demand expected to outpace output through mid-2027. AOI shipped its first volume 800G products to a hyperscale customer. The company posted a first-quarter net loss of $14.3 million.

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.

  • Morgan Stanley Sets Carvana (CVNA) Stock Price Target at $102 Post-Split
    June 12, 2026, 12:57 PM EDT. Carvana (CVNA) closed at $67.82 on June 11, up slightly over the week but well below its 52-week high of $97.38. Morgan Stanley maintained an Overweight rating and set a $102 price target on June 10, reflecting a 50% upside from current levels. This target is split-adjusted; the original pre-split target was $510, aligned with Carvana's May 7 five-for-one stock split. Morgan Stanley describes Carvana as a "generational compounder," highlighting its capital spending below 1% of sales while growing revenue around 40% annually. Key to this efficiency is Carvana's acquisition of ADESA's U.S. auction business in 2021, providing existing sites to convert at $2-3 million each versus $30-35 million for new locations. As of Q1, Carvana operates 18 inspection centers and 16 integrated ADESA sites, with scale-up potential to 3 million vehicles annually. Morgan Stanley projects mature inspection and reconditioning centers (IRCs) can yield $228 million in operating profit each.
