Business
Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AAOI) designs, manufactures and sells fiber-optic networking products serving internet data centers, cable television broadband (CATV), telecommunications, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), sensing, wireless and cable access markets; core offerings include high-speed optical transceivers such as 100Gbps, 400Gbps and 800G modules, lasers and laser components (including diode lasers, DFB and QAM DFB semiconductor chips), photodiodes, optical components and filters (such as TOSA, ROSA and TO packages), packaged optical subassemblies, HFC network equipment (including Quantum18 and QuantumLink amplifiers, nodes, transmitters, headend and distribution equipment supporting DOCSIS 4.0 and 10G standards) and turn-key RF solutions. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, the company maintains vertically integrated manufacturing and R&D facilities in the United States, Taiwan (New Taipei City) and China (Ningbo), with sales coordinated globally through direct personnel. AOI reports robust growth with Q3 2025 revenue of $118.6 million, up 82% year-over-year and 15% sequentially, driven by data center and CATV demand; non-GAAP gross margins expanded to 31.0% from 25.0% a year earlier, while guiding Q4 2025 revenue to $125-$140 million with planned U.S. capacity for 100,000 800G transceiver units per month by year-end. The company continues investing in next-generation 1.6T products and operational efficiencies following the 2022 divestiture of its Wuhan, China manufacturing assets, focusing on high-volume hyperscale data center operators and broadband providers amid AI-driven demand.
