Movement Alert｜Applied Optoelectronics Falls 5.69% in Pre-Market Trading, Optical Communications Weakness and Bearish Options Flow Weigh on Shares

Market Focus10-22

On October 22, Applied Optoelectronics fell 5.69% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $72.6 per share, with turnover of $6.2844 million.

The main driver was renewed weakness across optical communications names in the Communication Equipment sector, which directly pressured Applied Optoelectronics. Peer moves showed Lumentum falling 5.18%, Ciena falling 4.83%, Arista Networks falling 3.17%, Cisco falling 1.46%, and Nokia Oyj falling 0.54%.

Additional pressure came from a recent target price cut by B. Riley to $92 from $109 while maintaining a Neutral rating, alongside consecutive large-dollar bearish put trades in the options market, including a $3.62 million far-dated put position tied to a 2027 $50 strike, reinforcing cautious sentiment ahead of the company’s next earnings report on November 5.
