Mizuho Research: No delays on CPO or 800v dc. Revised up optical engine projections from $NVDA demand ramp. - Next phase in CPO for long term, believes InP DFB lasers remains the focus (hello $SIVE). VSCEL and microLED remain "unproven" in short distance in rack chip to chip for 1.6T - HVDC deployment on track, 800VDC incremental volume 2027, with higher penetration in 2028. What a stupid CPO related selloff recently.
$NVDA Networking Senior Vice President refuting recent analyst reports on delays: - “ the most exciting stuff is co-packaged optics.” - There is no delay in H2 CPO product delivery schedule. - CPO switch will enter mass production and begin ramping up customer deliveries as planned in the second half of 2026 This was a media article, original interview source credit should have been credited to Tae Kim / Computex. Something fun to note too was this quote “Gilad was VERY enthusiastic about the CPO ramp from Nvidia.” Both near term and long term. Yeah… I’m extremely bullish on CPO alongside Nvidia.

I know, I know it's been frustrating to hold $TRT to see it jump then give up all the gains repeatedly. The company is a favorite target of short swarms, however the next earnings are critical. The 124% growth they posted was BEFORE the large new facility, before $MU before $COHR and all the other deals which have been found. The market treats this company like highly speculative while it's 60 years old, growing triple digits and signing tier 1 clients left and right. At some point the market will catch up.

$MRVL $JBL $SIVE 👀 how many time you can ignore before it is to late? $SIVE
Deploying next-generation optical connectivity at the pace AI infrastructure demands requires more than advanced technology. It requires standards that reduce integration complexity and give data center operators flexibility at the time of deployment. The Open CPX MSA, which includes Marvell among its members, is building that foundation. A single CPX array can be configured to support co-packaged copper for intra-rack connections, co-packaged optics for rack-to-rack communication, and ZR/ZR modules for long-distance interconnects, with port configurations determined at deployment rather than at design time. With near- and co-packaged port shipments projected to grow from under one million in 2025 to more than 100 million per year by 2030, that kind of flexibility matters. George Hervey explains what Open CPX makes possible: mrvl.co/4emX2Ro

$SIVE $AMD - The industry is hit by a massive squeeze on CW Lasers. Recent supply chain tracking from TrendForce shows that $AMD is quietly scrambling to lock in massive purchase orders for these lasers. Their goal is obvious is to secure their own independent supply line before $NVDA locks down the entire market and chokes out $AMD next-o-Packaged Optics (CPO) roadmap. The big problem? Giants like $LITE and $COHR are basically booked solid through 2028. This supply crunch turns $SIVE into a massive tactical play. Connecting the dots between $AMD and $SIVE isn't just wishful thinking; looking at the infrastructure, it’s practically inevitable. $SIVE recently locked in a deep collaboration with $GFS, embedding their laser arrays directly into GF’s SCALE CPO framework. $AMD has a long, deeply rooted history of relying on $GFS for its silicon photonics manufacturing. If $AMD builds its optical chips through GF, they are essentially forced to use $SIVE as their reference light source. The partnership is already written into the silicon. $SIVE is also the exclusive hardware engine behind Ayar Labs' SuperNova light sources. $AMD is a founding heavy-hitter in the Optical Compute Interconnect (OCI) consortium, an ecosystem heavily reliant on Ayar’s architecture. This means $AMD long-term hardware pipeline is already designed to plug right into $SIVE's physical lasers. Look at $AMD recent acquisition of CPO pioneer Enosemi. Enosemi’s designs require incredibly precise, external laser sources to actually move data. Since $SIVE has clear, unconstrained manufacturing capacity through its relationship with WIN Semiconductors, it stands out as one of the only global players capable of handling $AMD massive production scaling. On the corporate side, $SIVE is actively restructuring its books to PCAOB standards to prepare for a major dual-listing on the Nasdaq in New York. You don't launch a major US IPO without a massive PR catalyst. Sealing an official supply agreement with a trillion-dollar hyper-scaler like $AMD would be the ultimate validator for their US market debut.
New reports that $AMD is scrambling for CW laser supply. And is negotiating large-scale purchase orders for CW Lasers to ensure its production capacity is not constrained by $NVDA (Trendforce) Obvious CW laser beneficiaries: - $SIVE (AMD went to GFS for CPO, Sivers reference laser level) - $AAOI (Rosenblatt analyst checks) Lumentum/Coherent are kinda booked out way into 2028 as well. Lumentum is especially constrained for CW capacity already from existing EML contracts (so they probably are buying from Sumitomo/Furukawa and co). Maybe Macom and Japanese giants still have spare capacity. (disclosure, own aaoi/sivers). I predicted this last year and said hyperscalers should go more upstream to secure capacity... at laser levels, epiwafer levels, or even inp substrate levels. To not get bottlenecked by Nvidia.

$SLNH $NVDA $SIE NVIDIA’s energy/AI focus strengthens the macro thesis behind Soluna Holdings. NVIDIA’s page is basically about the energy sector becoming more software-defined and increasingly dependent on AI and high-performance computing. They describe how energy companies are using AI/HPC to produce, transport, and deliver lower-cost energy, while also reducing environmental impact and bringing real-time intelligence closer to the grid edge. That matters because NVIDIA is not only talking about AI models running in the cloud. They are placing AI/HPC directly inside the energy value chain. Reservoir simulation. Seismic processing. Pipeline monitoring. Worker safety. Emissions reduction. Industrial digital twins. Renewable energy optimization. Weather and climate simulation. CFD workloads. Power grid maintenance. The important point for Soluna is that NVIDIA is describing energy as a sector where heavy compute becomes part of the infrastructure itself, not just an external IT layer. The most relevant section for Soluna is Power and Utilities. NVIDIA highlights smart grids, predictive maintenance for grid infrastructure, distributed energy resources, synthetic data for grid assets, outage scheduling, and field operations optimization. In other words, the power grid and the energy system are becoming more digital, more AI-driven, and more dependent on compute. That supports Soluna’s core idea: the future of energy is not only about producing electricity. It is about connecting power with compute, data, optimization, and real-time intelligence. The renewable energy angle is also important. NVIDIA specifically highlights Siemens Gamesa and how AI/HPC plus digital twins can optimize offshore wind farms, including wake optimization. They also highlight AI for optimizing solar and wind farms, simulating climate and weather, maintaining power grids, improving carbon capture, and accelerating energy innovation. This is very close to Soluna’s underlying thesis: Energy and compute should not be viewed separately. They should be viewed together. That is where the Soluna parallel becomes strong. NVIDIA is showing what AI/HPC can do for the energy sector. Soluna is focused on the physical infrastructure side of the same trend: building sites where AI/HPC can run close to the power source, especially where renewable energy, behind-the-meter infrastructure, grid access, and speed-to-power can create an advantage. NVIDIA’s phrase “Energy Solutions — From Data Center to Edge to Cloud” is also important. It shows that the energy sector is no longer isolated. It is being connected to data centers, edge computing, cloud infrastructure, and AI workloads. That fits Soluna’s narrative very well. Soluna is not simply saying, “we have power.” Soluna is saying, “we place compute where the power is and make energy infrastructure productive for AI/HPC.” There is also an interesting Siemens angle. NVIDIA highlights Siemens Gamesa as an example of how AI/HPC and digital twins can optimize wind energy. At the same time, Soluna is already working with Siemens on the power-infrastructure side of the same problem. Soluna and Siemens are developing a behind-the-meter AI pilot at Project Grace to manage rapid GPU-driven power swings when AI/HPC workloads run directly on renewable energy. That connection matters. Renewable power needs optimization. AI workloads need stable power. Grid-connected infrastructure needs smarter controls. Behind-the-meter compute needs a repeatable blueprint. This is exactly where Soluna’s model starts to make more sense. AI needs energy. The energy system needs AI. And the winners will be the companies that can combine power, grid access, data center infrastructure, renewable optimization, and speed-to-power.

"The role will be based at MMP." $MU Micron Memory Penang is now a confirmed customer of Trio-Tech International. $TRT
After establishing a *likely (bc unconfirmed) connection between $TRT and $COHR, let's do something a bit easier: connecting $TRT to $MU Micron Technology. I say it is easier, because there is clear evidence hidden in the job adverts. TRT has recently been hiring for positions in Batu Kawan, Penang. This again is a location where TRT does not have a facility (unless a new expansion announcement is imminent). The number of Trio-tech positions available in Batu Kawan seems to be ~33, which is a significant workforce. More importantly, one of the adverts for the location specifically states that the "role will be based at MMP." my.jobstreet.com/job/9270655… MMP at Batu Kawan stands for Micron Memory Penang. In job postings, internal references, LinkedIn posts, and university visits, Micron Memory Malaysia is routinely abbreviated as MMP. mech.utm.my/hiref/visit-to-m… This puts TRT into the supply chain of another critical theme, on top of the AI/GPU ($10m in orders since March 2026), photonics (see my previous post on $CORH and $TRT), and now memory. Microns Malaysia's facility focuses on semiconductor/memory manufacturing. Specifically, assembly, test, burn-in, and related processes for DRAM, NAND, and SSD products. It’s one of Micron’s key global sites for these operations.

$IQE & $TSEM enter a multi-year InP epiwafer supply agreement. Do you understand how f*cking huge this is for IQE? -> IQE is being designed into the pluggable wave next-gen modulator/OCS roadmap. -> Confirms IQE as a qualified, non-Chinese InP epiwafer source. -> Diversifies IQE's optical customer base beyond $LITE / $MTSI to foundry in $TSEM. So multiple Tier-1 optical anchors. Quick fun fact: IQE sued Tower in 2022 for misappropriating trade secrets to obtain patents. So this Tower agreement lets IQE keep optionality on RF SOI type engineered substrate/layer transfer applications without IP risk. And converts a former enemy into a customer - always a massive bullish signal that a company's products are critical.
