AOI datacenter revenue nearly 2.4x YoY ($107.7M Q2 2026 vs $44.8M Q2 2025); 800G volume doubled sequentially
“Strong demand for high-speed optics alongside high-volume adoption of our 1.8 GHz CATV products generated powerful results during the quarter...we saw a strong volume ramp of our 800G products, which more than doubled sequentially”
Why it matters
AOI's datacenter segment (AI/cloud optics) is growing at ~2.4x YoY with 800G transceiver volumes doubling quarter-over-quarter, providing direct evidence of accelerating hyperscaler optical capex spending for AI infrastructure.
Investment implication
Confirms major hyperscalers (implicit customer base) are in aggressive AI buildout cycle with sustained demand for high-speed interconnect. Supports thesis that datacenter optical/networking suppliers face multi-year growth runway; also suggests alternative suppliers (Broadcom, Marvell, NVIDIA Spectrum switches) and related semiconductor/packaging infrastructure may be under pressure to scale.
