AAOIhas no positive reported earnings per share, so an earnings-multiple projection can't be built for it. Companies are valued on other measures at this stage — revenue growth, cash burn, or book value — none of which this calculator models.

>>62744452 But I was right, and I netted myself £500 in the space of 4 days that I wouldn't have had otherwise. I'm not 100% sold on AAOI's fundamentals and their long term prospects are massively dependent on management being able to scale up their operations. But that doesn't really matter when you have a short time horizon, price action does.

>>62744425 That's always a risk, just like with any investment. But basically just by reading the charts you can get a sense of when a stock is cheap, and how likely it is to go higher. Like with AAOI - the 3 month low was actually at $76. But that was on the back of the whole Korea deleveraging event. Since then it has traded pretty consistently at lows of around $90 but frequently going above $102, so it seemed pretty safe.

I've recently done this with AAOI, got in on Monday at $95, sold today at $104. Going to repeat the same play with ONDS, got in today at $7.23, will sell when it goes back to $8ish.

Applied Optoelectronics's Next Run Could Be Bigger AAOI targets 650,000 monthly units by year-end 2026 as 800G and 1.6T demand continues exceeding available capacity.

AAOI's valuation is compelling, with price-to-sales multiples compressing rapidly as revenue ramps, though heavy dilution from equity issuance is a key risk.
