Optical Module Leaders Lead Market Rally, AI ETF Surges

Deep News05-25 11:22

In early trading on May 25th, leading optical module stocks collectively strengthened, with the prominent "Yi Zhong Tian" trio leading the gains. Xinyisheng and Tianfu Communication saw intraday increases exceeding 5%, while Zhongji Innolight rose over 3%. Among popular ETFs, the ChiNext AI ETF (159363), which has over 50% exposure to CPO optical modules and the highest concentration of the "Yi Zhong Tian" stocks, continued its rise with a 2% intraday gain. Its real-time trading volume surpassed 700 million yuan, leading activity among all AI-themed ETFs in the market.

Guosheng Securities noted that as we enter June, demand expectations for optical modules in 2027 are becoming clearer. Furthermore, the bottleneck in upstream core component supply that previously constrained deliveries is gradually reaching an inflection point towards improvement. This suggests leading manufacturers' capacity and earnings potential may accelerate. The firm recommends refocusing on the major optical module theme at this stage, with particular emphasis on the two leaders, Zhongji Innolight and Xinyisheng.

Guolian Minsheng Securities highlighted that Nvidia maintained significant revenue and net profit growth in its last fiscal quarter. The company's next-generation AI computing platform, Vera Rubin, is scheduled to begin shipments in the second half of 2026. The firm remains optimistic about the continuation of the AI boom cycle and recommends focusing on core optical module and optical chip companies.
