$ASTS: 🚨 SPACEX AST SPACEMOBILE BLUEBIRD 8-10 MISSION PAGE IS LIVE
SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, June 17 for launch of AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird 8-10 mission to orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 2:39 a.m. ET with additional opportunities available 4:15 a.m. ET. If needed, a backup launch opportunity is available on Thursday, June 18 during a launch window that opens at 2:19 a.m. ET.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX.
This will be the 29th flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, NG-20, TD7, and 21 Starlink missions. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

$AAOI --- On June 10, 2026, $AAOI announced it is fully deploying its QuantumLink™ remote network management software** across the entire network of Spectrum, one of the largest U.S. cable and broadband operators, to control all of its 1.8GHz network amplifiers. Against the backdrop of a broad market pullback in mid-June, this concrete commercial contract sent $AAOI rallying over 7.5% against the tape, proving its dominant position in the broadband and CATV infrastructure upgrade market.
In its May 7 Q1 2026 earnings, the CEO announced a major milestone: $AAOI completed its first high-volume 800G optical module shipment to a global hyperscaler (widely believed to be Amazon or Microsoft) in Q1. Management explicitly guided that 800G volume ramps will accelerate in Q2, driving explosive sequential revenue growth in the second half of 2026, especially Q3.
In late April, $AAOI won a $20,852,518 government grant from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF). It will use this non-repayable funding to expand its manufacturing facility by 210,000 square feet next to its Sugar Land, Texas headquarters, building one of the largest AI-focused optical transceiver production lines in the U.S. This eliminates capacity bottlenecks and leverages U.S. domestic supply chain political tailwinds.
1. The Mandatory Bottleneck for the Entire AI Compute Boom
Even the most powerful NVIDIA B200 or Blackwell chips are useless if data transmission latency between thousands of GPUs in a data center crushes overall efficiency. That requires 800G and eventually 1.6T high-end optical modules. This market is severely supply-constrained, and $AAOI’s order visibility stretches all the way to mid-2027—giving it extreme earnings certainty.
2. The Biggest Winner of the DOCSIS 4.0 Upgrade Cycle
Beyond AI, North American telecom operators are in the middle of a full upgrade of legacy coaxial cable networks to the faster DOCSIS 4.0 standard. As the leading upgrade supplier for legacy amplifier systems (like Gainmaker), $AAOI has seen its hardware and QuantumLink software adopted by Mediacom and Spectrum back-to-back—this is the definition of dual, non-overlapping revenue tailwinds.
3. High-Margin Software Revenue Breaks the Hardware Valuation Ceiling
The market used to assign $AAOI a low valuation because optical module hardware is a capital-intensive, high fixed-cost business. But as QuantumLink intelligent network management software deploys at scale alongside its hardware, gross margins are set to expand dramatically over the coming quarters—completely re-rating the company’s entire financial profile.
Our vertically integrated AI Cloud platform has arrived in Europe.
Today, IREN announced it has completed the acquisition of Nostrum Group, adding 490MW of secured power in Spain to serve global demand for AI compute.
“Europe is one of the largest and fastest-growing markets for AI infrastructure, and Spain is among its most compelling entry points, with abundant renewables and strong fiber connectivity. Nostrum gives us secured power today along with a development pipeline and a great local team we're excited to work with.” - @danroberts0101

@VillagePantryD Once revenues start showing up
Rerating begins mostly then
Otherwise MU or SNDK or NVDA won’t be going as they are
Revenues come only after a contract is confirmed & then the rerating happens hence price can move higher as big funds need to move only thereafter

$AAOI is sitting directly on its 50 day MA here and had a nice surge in net call premium into the close on Thursday, while net put premium stayed deeply negative. It looks like $200 is a very reasonable short-term upside target 🎯
