$NVDA VERA RUBIN SUPPLY CHAIN
Rubin is becoming a system-level buildout with rising content across memory, packaging, networking, power and cooling pushing the opportunity well beyond the GPU:
• Memory sits with $MU, $SKHY & Samsung supplying the DRAM & HBM feeding Rubin accelerators while $SNDK adds exposure to storage layer around AI systems
• Advanced packaging runs through $TSM, $AMKR & $INTC for foundry, packaging & assembly while $AMAT, $LRCX, $KLAC, $ASML, $TER & $AEHR provide equipment & testing needed to manufacture complex AI chips
• Optical networking spans $COHR, $LITE & $AAOI in optical modules, $AVGO & $MRVL in switching silicon, $CRDO & $ALAB in high-speed connectivity & $GLW, $CIEN, $NOK & $ANET across fiber & network infrastructure
• 800VDC power reaches from power semiconductors with $STM, $ON, $NVTS, $POWI & $WOLF into power management with $MPWR, $ADI, $TXN & $VICR
• Power infrastructure & cooling sit downstream with $VRT, $ETN & $GEV supplying electrical distribution, backup power & thermal systems needed as rack densities keep rising
• Compute systems bring full rack together through $DELL, $HPE & $SMCI which integrate Nvidia compute, networking, memory & power into deployable AI systems
THE NEW AI INFRASTRUCTURE STACK
Piper Sandler mapped the new AI infrastructure stack across 8 layers from the power grid all the way to the agent as AI scaling creates bottlenecks across power, cooling, networking, storage, cloud & inference:
Layer 1 | Power, Grid & Real Estate
• $NEE building renewable power backbone hyperscalers need to scale AI

On me demande souvent : quelle exposition prendre sur la photonique ?
Si je devais reconstruire aujourd’hui une position sur un thème, je partirais toujours sur un basket core–satellite
Core — 72 %
$LITE 28 % — ma plus forte conviction. Ils sont positionnés sur les lasers InP, composants optiques, transceivers cloud probablement l’exposition qui présente un des meilleurs risk/reward
$CIEN 18 % — C'est un pari sur la couche réseau. C'est du transport optique, des interconnexions cohérentes et du switching en gros le scale across pour relier les datacenters et absorber l’augmentation structurelle du trafic
$COHR 15 % — l’un des acteurs les plus intégrés de la chaîne optique, lasers InP, modulateurs, photodiodes, silicon photonics et transceivers de 800G à 3.2T. Comme $LITE et $AMS-OSRAM ils sont exposés aux nouvelles architectures optiques.
$GLW 11 % — Corning maîtrise à la fois la fibre, le câble et la connectique haute densité. Une capacité industrielle difficile à répliquer à l’échelle des hyperscalers et des contrats verrouillés avec $NVDA $AMZ $META
Satellite — 28 %
$AMS-OSRAM 9 % — le pari asymétrique sur les nouvelles architectures photoniques. Le groupe dispose d’un vrai savoir-faire industriel sur les VCSEL et les micro-émetteurs, et développe désormais des arrays microLED ultra-parallèles pour les futures interconnexions optiques « slow & wide » des clusters IA.
$AXTI 8 % — l’exposition amont du panier. AXT fabrique les substrats en phosphure d’indium utilisés dans les lasers, modulateurs et photodétecteurs à haute vitesse. A mons sens c'est la position la plus convexe, l'InP est un véritable Bottleneck.
$TSEM 7 % — C'est la foundry spécialisée en silicon photonic. Tower fabrique des circuits de silicon photonics pour les transceivers, l’optique cohérente et les futures architectures de switching optique. La SiPho fait déjà 37 % du CA, 1,3 Md$ de CA 2027 sous contrat, collaboration 1.6T avec NVIDIA, Collab sur le NPO.
$AAOI 4 % — Exposition plus directionnelle aux modules optiques pour hyperscalers. Lasers, composants et transceivers 400G/800G/1.6T, avec une forte optionalité sur la montée en cadence des réseaux IA. Gros flux retail donc je reste prudent mais les earnings m'ont rassurés.

If so, Q3/Q4 marks the "Sweet Spot" for a cycle low before another bullrun begins..
A bear market wont be recognised as a bear market by the majority until it passes..
