Current stance: Buy. The primary thesis is that an optical transceiver shortage, driven by limited Indium Phosphide (InP) materials capacity and tight module/transceiver manufacturing utilization, will persist through late 2027 and favor constrained optical suppliers.

1 active recommendation: Buy based on research arguing a durable optical transceiver shortage inside the AI infrastructure buildout.
Post argues that optical transceivers are an underappreciated binding supply constraint inside the AI infrastructure buildout. It claims demand is exceeding supply across the optical stack, that the bottleneck is specialized Indium Phosphide (InP) materials capacity (not easily fixed by capital), and that announced capacity expansions won’t close the gap until late 2027—implying pricing/power upside for constrained optical suppliers and potential deployment-delay risk for AI infrastructure benef
Current stance
We recommend Buy. The call rests on a view that demand for optical transceivers outstrips supply across the optical stack, with specialized InP materials capacity the binding constraint—supporting pricing and share gains for constrained suppliers and implying potential deployment delays for some AI infrastructure projects.
