AAOI Q3 revenue soars 127.5% despite delays; strong order backlog shifts growth target to late 2027

Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) reported a 127.5% revenue increase in Q3 to $269.9 million, driven by a 254% jump in data center sales despite product transition challenges. The company disclosed a $400–450 million order backlog but faces near-term processor shortages delaying shipments. Manufacturing delays have pushed the target of achieving a $471 million monthly revenue run-rate to late 2027, although strong commitments from hyperscalers support long-term growth. AAOI trades at 4.5 times estimated 2026 revenue, with potential margin improvements and capacity expansions expected to enhance earnings per share and valuation multiples.

Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) shares have gained 6.91% in the last day, trading at USD 50.13 on Pluang. Despite the recent selloff mentioned in the article, the stock remains well below its 52-week high of USD 223.10. These figures are current as of Nov 07, 2026 22:41 WIB.
