Thanks, love reading the comments!Goldman Sachs raised Innolight PT to 2581 RMB. Roughly 163.6% upside from current valuations.But the largest thing is its 2026–2028 earnings est revision raised by a whopping 65%/108%/119%, based on:- Much higher silicon photonics module volumes- scale out, scale up, scale across volumes- 1.6T/3.2T lifting blended ASP + margins- increase in AI capexThis is typically very material read through on the optical sector since:I tend to think of Innolight as a $TSM (semi capex) type read on how the photonics landscape is doing.Eg. Higher silicon photonics penetration means more TAM for cw lasers like $SIVE (cw) / SOI wafer demand for $SOI. ASP hikes for future gen is positive for the other optical markers too.Think my other takeaway outside the report was Innolight stating 800g demand was growing more significantly than expected from their transcript on the 12th. Which in turn signals more demand for names like $AAOI to $LITE next earnings.TLDR: GS gives high earnings projections during a time of massive corrections. Fundamentally, broader photonics ecosystem should be happy when it’s ER time.Steven Xu: @aleabitoreddit long time lurker, just wanted to update you on a recent development: Goldman Sachs updated Innolights price target to an insane 2581 Yuan/share during this downturn. Today's trading session saw the stock trading at 979.46 a share.
