Today in Kolkata, INS Dunagiri, INS Sanshodhak and INS Agray were commissioned. They reflect India’s growing maritime capabilities, our commitment to safeguarding national interests across the seas and the remarkable strides being made towards self-reliance in defence manufacturing guided by the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

Today, there's a new report that China eased InP substrate exports.
Which is expected to relieve mass production bottlenecks in the photonics market (source: Digitimes)
My optical positions are very happy to hear this:
From $AXTI (substrates), $IQE (epiwafers) to $AAOI (lasers) / $LITE / $SIVE, and others.
Taiwanese optical players like VPEC, Landmark, and others should go brrr as well.
Just to recap: the photonics market, especially for laser companies is moreso "how much can you make" rather than how much demand is there.
InP substrates was one of the main bottlenecks affecting upstream capacity.
So if you're able to make more = more revenue.
How to create billions of dollars from air (space) $SPCX
Step 1:
Buy Twitter for $44B (Oct 2022), fire most staff, lose most ad revenue.
Step 2:
AI startup xAI “acquires" X for $125B - $1B cash generated, zero value created. (Mar 2025)
Step 3:
SpaceX "acquires" xAI at $250B -$1.25T combined valuation.
Nice 100% return in a year. (Feb 2026)
Step 4: List SpaceX at $1.75T, 4% float, get index inclusion rules changed, shorten lock-ups, let leveraged ETFs squeeze it higher. Increase valuation $500B in 4 months. (June 2026)
X stake now up 180%.
Financial engineering masterclass.
Step 5: Combine with Tesla.
