The fundamentals of $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ have not deteriorated.  In fact AAOI has just posted monster Q2 revenue growth of 86.4%. What happened was the management launched a huge USD 600 million At the Market or ATM equity offering that sent panic waves ripping through the markets.

The deep value growth bulls argue that panic selling a company actively growing its revenue at 86% YoY is a mistake.  The operational thesis is unchanged.  Massive hyperscale cloud providers are still spending billions at data infrastructure.  Demand for AAOI's ultra high speed 800G & 1.6T optical transceivers is booming.

Raising capital for expansion is not a sign of weakness.  AAOI is using the money to fund massive capacity increase  to boost market share.

Buying shares after the plunge means you are buying at a deep discount before it rebounds to reach new heights.

As Warren Buffett likes to say, When there is Fear in the market it is time to be greedy.

The boss asked me to issue coins
Hello everyone! Today is the eve of the "US Stock Earnings Week War", and it is also the first day of this tiger! To be honest, the boss stuffed a pocket of tiger coins as soon as he entered the office, and gave a death order: "If you can't finish it in a month, don't think about getting off work!" In order to get off work early and eat hot pot, I will hold fresh topics here every day and wait for everyone. As long as you dare to talk, I dare to send it! Look directly at today's hot discussion šŸ‘‡ šŸ”„ The Nasdaq 100 fell 1.1%. Should the Fed FOMC + Big Four be safe from earnings week?

    86.4% growth sounds great, but a 600M ATM is still brutal dilution. The real question is whether that capacity earns through the next pricing cycle

    ATM panic doesn't change the core thesis. If that cash really goes into 800G and 1.6T capacity, the dilution pain can look cheap in hindsight
