Movement Alert｜Applied Optoelectronics Rises 9.95% in Regular Trading, Earnings Strong Growth Expectations Combined with Optical Communications Sector Oversold Bounce

Market Focus07-30

On July 30, Applied Optoelectronics rose 9.95% in regular trading, trading at $87.41/share, with turnover of $150 million.

On the news front, the company is scheduled to report quarterly earnings on August 6 after market close. Market consensus expects revenue of approximately $190 million, representing year-over-year growth of 80.03%, with adjusted EPS of $0.02, up 120.22% year-over-year. Institutional coverage is predominantly bullish, with buy and strong buy ratings accounting for approximately 57.14%, while bearish views are absent.

The stock had previously declined over 25% throughout July, primarily dragged down by Corning's disappointing Q3 guidance after its second-quarter earnings, which triggered broad selling pressure across the optical communications sector. On July 28 alone, Corning fell nearly 19% while AAOI dropped nearly 14%. Following this significant pullback from highs, the combination of strong earnings growth expectations and technical oversold conditions drove a rebound. The broader Communication Equipment sector also rallied, with Lumentum up 12.89%, Nokia up 9.73%, and Ciena up 9.5%.
