One thing I’ve really noticed about the $IONQ community on X that separates them from most stock ticker communities is that the $IONQ community is actually smart, knows what they are talking about and has some of the best deep, educated, posts I’ve ever seen. From Skywater Acquisition, to Oxford, to the 256 Qubit goal for this year and more. This community knows what they are talking about and we all know that we are sitting on a gem!
If you want detailed explanations on a company and deep deep dives I recommend looking into $IONQ.

And many more I’m sure I’m missing a few goats as well, but these legends stand out on my feed day in and day out! Please free to drop $IONQ legends who I’m missing on this list!
🚨 WHAT THE HELL HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH $LASE?! 🚨
$LASE (Laser Photonics) has absolutely exploded, ripping over 340% in the past week and nearly 50% in a single session, leaving many investors wondering what sparked the move.
The answer appears to be one word:
DEFENSE. 🛡️
This week, Laser Photonics announced that its Laser Shield Anti-Drone (LSAD) system was selected by the Department of War under the Mission Engineering and Integration Activity (MEIA) Vulcan Call for Solutions. More importantly, the company was invited into a technical exchange with government engineers, signaling that the technology is getting serious attention from defense decision-makers.
Why the market cares
The modern battlefield is rapidly shifting toward drone warfare.
From Ukraine to the Middle East, low-cost drones have become one of the most disruptive military technologies in existence. Governments worldwide are pouring billions into counter-drone systems capable of detecting, tracking, and neutralizing aerial threats.
Laser Photonics’ LSAD platform is designed specifically for that mission. The company’s anti-drone technology has previously been recognized in defense innovation programs and has been showcased directly to military leadership and procurement officials.
The bigger picture: Photonics + AI + Defense
Many investors hear “laser company” and think industrial cleaning equipment.
But photonics is becoming a foundational technology for several next-generation industries:
⚡ AI Data Centers
⚡ Quantum Computing
⚡ Autonomous Systems
⚡ Directed-Energy Weapons
⚡ Military Communications
⚡ Advanced Sensors & Targeting
Photonics allows information to be transmitted and processed using light instead of traditional electrical signals, offering higher speed, lower latency, and greater efficiency. Researchers are increasingly exploring photonics as a key component of future AI infrastructure and advanced computing systems.
As governments race to modernize defense systems and AI capabilities, companies operating at the intersection of lasers, sensing, and photonics could see increasing strategic relevance.
But investors should know the risks
This isn’t a risk-free story.
While the defense headlines are exciting, $LASE remains a very small company with a market cap near $100M.
Some concerns investors should monitor:
🔴 The company recently received a Nasdaq notice related to a delayed quarterly filing.
🔴 Defense selections and prototype demonstrations do not automatically equal revenue-generating contracts. The LSAD program is gaining visibility, but investors should understand that technical evaluations often occur long before large-scale procurement.
🔴 The company has previously discussed raising capital through stock and warrant offerings, creating potential dilution risk for shareholders.
The Bull Case
✅ Growing defense exposure
✅ Anti-drone systems are one of the hottest military spending categories globally
✅ Photonics sits at the center of AI, sensing, communications, and future defense technology
✅ Tiny market cap means even modest contract wins can materially impact the business
The Bear Case
❌ Profitability remains a major question
❌ Government interest does not guarantee contract revenue
❌ Filing and compliance issues remain an overhang
❌ High volatility and dilution risk typical of micro-cap stocks
Final Thoughts
The market isn’t bidding up $LASE because it’s selling more industrial lasers today.
The market is betting that a tiny photonics company just gained a seat at the table in one of the fastest-growing defense technology categories: counter-drone and directed-energy systems.
Whether that turns into meaningful revenue remains to be seen.
But after a 340%+ weekly move, it’s safe to say Wall Street finally noticed.
The question now isn’t why $LASE ripped…
It’s whether the company can convert defense interest into actual contracts and profitable growth. 📈🚀
@avgvalueinvest Thanks boss! Actually was talking at work to someone who is a helo pilot he’s really into vertical aircraft an stated he likes $JOBY and $BETA too, not really my wheel house but kinda wanna do a deep dive now 😂
Dude the bears will come at you whether your at 500,1000, 100000 or 1M followers 😂
Sometimes I have people ask me for predictions on stocks and I’m like dude there so much outside our control on markets! I juts give my two cents and prediction based on what I see take it or leave it at that. End of the day we not in these companies so we don’t know but based off the info we have I believe we all know $IONQ Is leading the pack!
I feel like schedules a lot of time take in for “longest timeline” ie worst case.
In Program Manager speak, I’d be interested to see what’s on the overall “Critical Path” and if $IONQ is going off their projections via their critical path as often times critical path accounts for longest scenario I really do think we can see them ahead of 2030 even 2029
@avgvalueinvest Defiently do! I guess bottom line up front (BLUF) how do they make their revenue and don’t they specialize in like some sort of helicopter eVOTL platform? And who are competitors? I know I can put this in AI but wanted to see your pov!
Good morning Twitter world 🌎
Hope you all have a great day. Time to get after it!
Did you all see $LASE yesterday?!
What stocks you looking at today?
I currently have $BULL $IONQ $HYLN $BTC
Also love $TSLA $ONDS $LAES $SOFI $NOW $NVDA $NBiS $ABCL $PLTR
If I had 1M I’d make that my entire portfolio including my current holdings, oh and ofc $BTC
