On September 29, Applied Optoelectronics rose 6.77% in regular trading, trading at $102.52/share, with turnover of $192 million. The rally was driven by a broad-based rebound across U.S.-listed optical communication stocks, with Corning, Lumentum, and POET Technologies surging over 4%, while Coherent gained more than 3%.

The move exhibited clear oversold recovery characteristics. In the prior session, the optical communication sector had suffered heavy selling pressure, with Credo Technology dropping over 9%, Applied Optoelectronics falling 7%, and Coherent declining nearly 6%. The current session's bounce represents a technical snapback from those losses.

Within the Communication Equipment sector, Lumentum led gains with a 7.12% advance, followed by Nokia Oyj up 2.89% and Ciena up 2.55%. The sector backdrop remains supported by long-term tailwinds from AI-driven demand for high-speed optical modules, with Goldman Sachs recently projecting the global optical module market to reach approximately $677 billion to $1,485 billion between now and 2028, representing upward revisions of 33% to 115% from prior estimates.
