01 optical module:

Domestic substitution is expected to accelerate

Under the huge demand for data communication, the further transformation of data centers to large-scale and centralized will drive the rapid development of high-speed and medium-and long-distance optical modules. At the same time, with the development trend of AIGC clear, high computing power demand catalyzes higher rate of 800G, 1.6T optical module demand.

800G optical module as the AI computing base, demand continues to exceed expectations, the core leading manufacturers performance expectations are expected to continue to improve.

Some industry insiders pointed out that the upstream industry chain of optical modules such as optical chips may be in short supply next year against the background of higher-than-expected demand, and related companies are expected to accelerate customer verification breakthroughs. AI computing power construction and cloud computing demand resonance, 800G optical module to open a new cycle of mass production, 800G large customer demand guidance is expected to continue to exceed expectations, optical module leading manufacturers continue to expand capacity to cope with high demand. With 800G accelerated release revenue growth, the scale effect continues to improve the profitability of companies in the industry, superimposed on the proportion of high-rate product revenue increased, the profitability of companies in the industry or still have a large expected difference, performance expectations are expected to continue to be revised. At the same time, 800G upgrade cycle drives the rapid growth of demand for optical chips and ceramic shells, and overseas production capacity is limited to accelerate the process of domestic substitution. At present, overseas leading manufacturers are still high-speed optical chips, ceramic shell mainstream suppliers, limited by capacity bottlenecks can not meet the growing industry demand, domestic substitution process is expected to accelerate.

in the future, the demand for 800G Ethernet upgrade in the cloud computing center will gradually open, and the demand for 800G at the superposition overseas reasoning end will gradually explode, and the high growth of 800G product cycle is expected to be maintained. AI accelerates the arrival of 1.6T cycle to help medium-and long-term growth, and 1.6T will start small batch next year to promote the upgrading of optical modules. Societe Generale Securities analyst Wang Nan suggested that investors continue to pay attention to the industry chain-related targets, Zhongyi Xucheng, Tianfu Communications, Xinyisheng, Dingtong Technology, Zhaolong Interconnection, China Porcelain Electronics and so on.
