@rodrimartinezgg Trading at ~$440M right now but my expectation is $2-3B today. Then could be $MTSI $17-20B MC in a year and half once Jabil and others scale up.

Thesis: Expects SIVE market cap to reach $2-3B from current $440M due to its role in CW/EML laser bottleneck. Longer-term sees potential for MTSI-like growth.
