Eoptolink's profit doubled and new incentive plan set bold growth targets

  • Equity incentive plan targets 290 billion yuan cumulative revenue Eoptolink announced a restricted stock plan with a cumulative revenue target of at least 290 billion yuan for 2026-2028, implying revenue must roughly double in 2026 and keep growing fast.

  • Volatile chip stock trading on AI spending concerns On Jul 28, Eoptolink plunged 17.13% amid worries over surging AI spending and uncertain returns, then rebounded 6.71% on Jul 31 as AI stock buying returned. This volatility reflects investor uncertainty about whether massive AI investments will pay off, but the long-term demand trend remains intact.

    Captures the market's back-and-forth sentiment on AI spending, which drives Eoptolink's price swings.

  • Thailand expansion taps AI data center demand Eoptolink is expanding its optical transceiver production in Thailand, with a second plant underway, as part of a 70-billion-baht Chinese investment wave. This boosts capacity to meet global AI and cloud data center demand, supporting future revenue growth.

    New capacity expansion directly addresses demand growth and strengthens the company's global supply position.

  • US 12.5% tariff and China slowdown hit tech stocks The US imposed a 12.5% tariff on Chinese goods, and China's Q2 GDP growth slowed to 4.3%, triggering a tech selloff. Eoptolink fell 4.28% on the tariff news and 7.79% on slowdown concerns, as investors worry about demand and trade barriers.

    These are new negative macro forces that create real headwinds for the stock and the sector.

Delta's AI power and cooling orders strengthen as trade tensions ease

  • US-China AI talks and extended trade truce lift sentiment Trump and Xi held their first talks on AI and extended the trade truce to January 2027. Less chip and trade tension is good for Delta, because its AI data-center power and cooling gear sells into a global build-out that depends on open trade.

    New geopolitical de-escalation directly improves the outlook for Delta's AI-linked demand.

  • AI racks need far more power, raising Delta's content per rack Morgan Stanley raised its power estimate for NVIDIA's next racks, and Bualuang kept a 330 baht target, seeing Q3 sales up 34% year on year.

Delta's AI power demand stays strong, but bond overhang and rotation cap the stock

  • AI data-center demand keeps building Delta is ramping raw materials for its new 800-volt AI data-center power system, and analysts say big tech's 2027 AI spending plans are being revised sharply higher. More AI factories mean more orders for Delta's power gear, supporting revenue and prices.

    This is the core growth engine behind Delta's earnings and the main reason analysts stay positive.

  • Supply shortages ease, profit seen peaking in Q3 The component shortages that squeezed Delta earlier in 2026 are easing, and analysts expect third-quarter sales and profit to be the year's best, helped by orders pushed from the second quarter and better margins. That points to a profit recovery.

    It explains why earnings are expected to improve after a weak first half, a key support for the share price.

  • $1.5 billion exchangeable bond creates a share overhang Delta's Singapore unit is issuing $1.5 billion of bonds that can later be swapped into Delta shares at 267-302 baht. No new shares are issued now, but hedging and future selling pressure can cap the stock, which fell about 6% on the news.

    This is the clearest new negative force weighing on the share price this period.

  • Money rotates out of Delta into other electronics names Some investors moved money out of Delta into KCE and HANA, which are seen as having stronger near-term profit prospects, and Delta also tracked its weaker Taiwan parent. This competition for investor money limits how fast Delta can rebound.

    It shows a real counterweight: even with good AI news, investor money is choosing other stocks.
