Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (NASDAQ:AAOI) is one of the 10 Stocks Powering Portfolios by Double Digits.<\/a><\/p>\n

Applied Optoelectronics climbed by 44.9 percent week-on-week, with the rally primarily lifted by the overall optimism, thanks to the easing tensions between the US and Iran, while still favoring technology stocks riding the AI boom.<\/p>\n

Further boosting sentiment for the company was news earlier that it saw a strengthening demand for its new 800G data center transceivers after one of its major hyperscale customers upsized its order to $124 million from $53 million previously.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis increased order for our 800G transceivers reflects both the customer\u2019s confidence in AOI and the growing demand for 800G optics,\u201d Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (NASDAQ:AAOI) Chairman and CEO Dr. Thompson Lin said.<\/p>\n

Following product qualification, Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (NASDAQ:AAOI) expects to start the delivery of both the initial and upsized orders in the second quarter of the year, with completion targeted by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also recently shipped the first 10,000 units of an 800G single-mode transceiver order to another hyperscale datacenter customer,\u201d Lin noted.<\/p>\n

Launched in September last year, the 800G optical transceivers are built for high-performance AI and cloud data center networks requiring superior port density and bandwidth efficiency. It is available in standard pluggable form factors and is essential for high-capacity spine switching and high-speed GPU cluster interconnects.<\/p>\n
