$RKLB Electron turns nine years old today and is expected to hit 100 launches later this year.
Rocket Lab has evolved into a vertically integrated space logistics platform across launch vehicles, spacecraft, satellite components & propulsion systems backed by $2.2B backlog.
THE PHOTONICS LAYER OF THE AI BUILDOUT
Goldman Sachs says the AI optical networking market growing nearly 10x to $150B+ by 2028 as clusters scale into multi-rack systems like $NVDA Rubin Ultra NVL576.
The AI bottleneck is shifting to the fabric that lets hundreds of GPUs behave like one system driving a massive dollar content expansion across NVLink, co-packaged optics & optical interconnects:
• $AEHR burn-in & reliability test systems for photonics and AI hardware
• $AAOI data center optical transceivers with in-house laser manufacturing
• $LITE high-speed lasers & optical components for data center transceivers
• $VIAV optical testing & measurement tools used to validate high-speed networks
• $COHR lasers, photonic components & materials used across optical networking systems
• $MRVL optical DSPs, custom interconnect silicon & networking chips for AI infrastructure
• $CRDO retimers, DSPs & active electrical cables for rack-level signal integrity in AI clusters
$MSFT two years ago:
• ~$420/share
• Azure growing ~30% with $235B commercial RPO
• AI revenue barely measurable
$MSFT today:
• ~$420/share
• Azure re-accelerated to 40% growth with $627B Commercial RPO (+99% YoY)
• $37B AI ARR (+123% YoY) with 20M+ Copilot seats (+250% YoY)
• Maia 200 custom silicon in production
Same stock price two years later but AI business behind it is unrecognizable.
