Having already driven massive shortages in memory chips and CPUs, the global AI boom is now disrupting a more obscure part of the supply chain: optical communications.

Western Memory Supply Chain:
Companies that directly benefit from $SNDK, $MU, SK hynix & Samsung.
$COHU [$2.36B] - Thermal handlers
$ADEA [$3.12B] - Hybrid bonding
$VECO [$3.81B] - Laser annealing
$CAMT [$8.05B] - 3D metrology
$FORM [$10.63B] - HBM test
$ONTO [$13.64B] - Inspection
$NVMI [$16.75B MC] - Optical/materials metrology
$RMBS [$17.04B] - HBM4 controller
$AMKR [$18.20B] - Advanced packaging
$ENTG [$21.66B] - CMP slurries
$MKSI [$22.57B] - CMP chemistry
Just in case you were wondering on second order names.
Of course a lot of pricing-in has happened YTD. And some names are huge like $AMAT, $CDNS and $LRCX.
But given the memory supercycle, some of the smaller MC companies could definitely keep going as demand flows upstream.
Any other names that should be included?
