原文: Lot of misinterpretations flying left and right around the $600m ATM. I'm still bullish on $AAOI and I have large positions (which is why I care more).
What I've been consistent with is not being a fan of overusing ATMs/dilution for financing. I've said this before with $IREN + $POET.
And I'll be consistent with my own positions like AOI.
However, the reason I'm still overweight on AOI vs. the rest (looking at you Poet):
Is that AOI is actually capacity constrained with high demand visibility.
In terms of timing:
- AOI should have waited until completion of 1.6T qualifications (expected in the next few weeks)
- Could have used other structures like convertible notes above market prices.
But they did it on the drop from $220 -> $130, and it's likely there will be short term structural overhang whenever they want to tap into it.
I don't have to support every single business decision to remain long.
