The AI bottleneck moves from chips to the network: all that 1.6 Tb/s of bandwidth hangs on a handful of InP laser makers

The AI boom is shifting the bottleneck from silicon to the network: 1.6 Tb/s modules rest on indium phosphide EML lasers, made by a handful of companies.

Why this company: A leading merchant supplier of EML/DML lasers to data centers; expanding InP capacity for AI demand. When lasers are the bottleneck, the margin goes to the laser chip maker, not the module assembler.

LITE since this thesis was published: +3.4% · whole basket -9.9%

Where these numbers come from

The reference price is recorded on the thesis publication date and never changed afterwards. The current price is refreshed several times a day. Returns are in the listing currency and exclude dividends, so for dividend payers the real total return was somewhat higher.

This is not a recommendation to buy or sell. A company enters a basket as a beneficiary of the mechanism described in the thesis, and the full argument is on each thesis page.
