Movement Alert|Applied Optoelectronics Falls 5.03% in Regular Trading, CPO Mass Production Delay Expectations Continue to Weigh on Optical Communications Sector

Market Focus06-19

On June 19, Applied Optoelectronics declined 5.03% in regular trading, trading at approximately $159.15 per share, with turnover of $1.975 billion.

On the news front, a SemiAnalysis report previously indicated that large-scale CPO (Co-Packaged Optics) deployment could be delayed until 2028 or even 2029, with system-level yields potentially as low as approximately 19.4% — far below the market's prior expectation of broad-based volume ramp by 2027. This bearish assessment continues to pressure high-valuation optical communications stocks. Peers in the sector also fell notably, with Lumentum down 4.07%, Nokia down 3.81%, and Ciena down 2.35%.

Applied Optoelectronics is a leading fiber-optic networking product supplier focused on cable television, fiber-to-the-home, and data center network markets. The company is one of the few U.S.-based manufacturers with in-house InP laser production capability for AI optical modules.
