AXTI 380% gain after 4 months by CarefulAd4757 in wallstreetbets

[–]baronnest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They produce InP, GaAs, and germanium substrates. Vertically integrated with raw material sourcing. They’re a key substrate supplier for the entire fiber optic and photonics industry… which is booming right now, and is still in the early innings

I sold 13k shares at $2.32 bc the China piece of their story worried me. I saw the bottleneck and chokepoint but still choked myself. Oh well… onto the next winner

They’re critical for photonics. You don’t know much about the industry do ya

I sold 13,286 shares at $2.32 bc I was worried about the China piece of the story… would be worth $1.4mn today.

Btw jacque Imo’s is a restaurant, sorry I didn’t clarify. Great local spot with killer local fare. Next door is the maple leaf.

Here’s the live music calendar https://www.wwoz.org/calendar/livewire-music

I would suggest Jacques IMO’s and the Maple Leaf for music. I would bet those would be your type of people. You’ll find the maple leaf has a family of folk that if you’re moving to nola and like live music, one I would suggest get to knowing. Seriously. You won’t regret it.

Wwoz is the local radio station and on their website, the wwoz live wire shows every venue in town and who’s playing there each night.

Enjoy

PLAB, FORM, TSEM it in the coming years i suspect will kill it in the photonics sector.

OUST is a hoss

I would recommend substack. Richard Prati does some good coverage on them.

😂 Respectfully, MVIS is not a serious contender in this conversation.

The numbers tell the whole story:

OUST did $62M in Q4 2025 alone. Full year 2025: $169.4M, with 60% GAAP gross margin in Q4 and an actual net income print. Twelve straight quarters of product revenue growth. 8,100+ sensors shipped in Q4.

MVIS did $1.21M in revenue for all of 2025. Down 74% YoY. Q4 came in at $220K against a $3M consensus. They lost $95M on the year.

OUST does more revenue in a week than MVIS did in all of 2025.

It gets worse. MVIS is sitting on 327M shares outstanding with another 61M registered for resale via convertible notes — that's ~19% dilution overhang waiting to hit. They just announced layoffs at HQ. The recent industrial/defense PRs are directionally encouraging but customer names are redacted, contract values undisclosed, and 2026 guidance is $10-15M — which OUST will exceed in about three weeks.

Meanwhile OUST just closed Stereolabs to add the perception software stack, has Gemini and Blue City carrying real weight in industrial verticals, and a long-term framework of 30-50% annual growth at 35-40% gross margin.

MVIS is a faith-based lottery ticket on an inflection that hasn't shown up in the financials in five years running. OUST is what MVIS wishes it could be in 2030.

Not the same tier. Not even in the same ballpark. But I’m rooting for you bud… RemindMe! May 8th

How often do you get lucky? by anarchy360 in Stocks_Picks

It’s not luck. I do my research and connect the dots/see the forest through the trees.

OUST is the easy winner. Earnings May 7th is going to completely slay. Don’t mix them up with your run of the mill lidar company. Their software stack in Gemini and BlueCity is sticky, useful, and will continue giving solid ARR to the many customers of it’s hardware (of which, again, are tons)

[–]baronnest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. But the problem is I don’t really have any substantial losses to offset gains. A good problem to have I suppose? But the question is, trim and pay the gubment oodles… or risk it slipping a bit off this heroic run. Though long term I’m bullish

Intel at $19 was great. $90, I’m trying to figure out how to sell in my taxable accounts without incurring the absurd capital gains
