Photonics are not having a fun time.

Laser Companies from:

$Lumentum(LITE.US), $SIVE, $Coherent Corp.(COHR.US), $Macom Tech(MTSI.US), $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI.US) all down.

Substrate, Foundries, and Epiwafer from:

$IQE, $AXT(AXTI.US), $SOI, $Tower Semicon(TSEM.US) all down.

Almost everything is red.

From 6% on lower beta like Coherent all the way to to 22%.

Good lesson to learn:

Embrace the volatility and don't use leverage.

If a name can go up 25% in a day, it can also drop 20% today.

Macro-driven liquidity vacuums and stop losses cause pretty violent swings.

However, if companies like $Lumentum(LITE.US) and $Coherent Corp.(COHR.US) are sold out until 2028...

Or if you know $SIVE is coming next for CW lasers at a ~$340M MC and $AXT(AXTI.US) will become a bottleneck for substrates.

Crashes like these from Macro are often a way to exchange hands for those who can reposition long.
