Several Taiwanese stocks are positioned as CPO exposure longs, with potential for growth as photonics scaling and industry events unfold.
Evidence & details
- +CPO TAM goes from $0 to $91B according to GS research.
- +Author successfully frontran the previous photonics supercycle with AAOI, LITE, AXTI.
- +Many players with little exposure to current cycle (like SIVE, SOI) become new dominant CPO players.
- +Markets typically price in 8-12 months ahead of mass production milestones.
- β‘Mass production start H2 2026 for scale out.
- β‘Scale up in H2 2027 driving massive growth.
- βExisting US players (LITE, COHR) have legacy pluggable revenue that may face cannibalization, limiting re-rating potential.

People wonder why I'm focusing on non-US markets recently. Why? CPO is my #1 thematic long. Markets don't know yet, the sudden paradigm shift in photonics... I was one of the only to frontrun the current supercycle in 2025 w/ $AAOI @ ~$30, $LITE ~$300s, and $AXTI at ~$13 onβ¦
Thesis: CPO (co-packaged optics) is the #1 thematic long with TAM going from $0 to $91B. New dominant players in non-US markets (Europe: SIVE, SOI) and existing US players (LITE, COHR) stand to benefit. Legacβ¦
Nextronics (8147) supplies CPO connectors and Cage Thermal Modules to Nvidia CPO supply chains, also involved with Amazon and humanoids; material upside as Nvidia's CPO program scales, as flagged by Goldman Sachs.
source βNextronics (8147) as Nvidia's CPO supplier has highly asymmetrical risk-reward with potential 10x rerating to ~$2B+ market cap by 2028 based on napkin math showing 2x forward P/E for 2028.
source βNextronics (8147) is an undiscovered supplier to Amazon's robotics supply chain. As Amazon scales up its robotics program, Nextronics should see material revenue growth given its 38-40% gross margins and small market cap (~$200M).
