Current thesis
The post-earnings bull case is that Q1 finally showed a real operating turn: revenue and gross margin improved sharply, losses narrowed, and management now has unusually large funding to expand InP capacity into AI optical demand. The market reaction appears to be paying for future bottleneck value rather than current earnings power.

Confirming evidence

- • China export controls on indium phosphide and uncertain permit timing, especially for U.S. shipments, remain the main near-term operating risk [#10-K-2026-03-17].
