On July 14, Applied Optoelectronics rose 7.78% in regular trading, trading at $121.235/share, with turnover of $237 million.

On the news front, the optical communication sector staged a broad-based oversold rebound after consecutive sessions of selling pressure. The sector had rallied collectively on July 9 driven by AI computing power tailwinds, with AAOI gaining over 9% that day. However, the sector pulled back sharply on July 10 and 13, with AAOI giving back significant gains and entering short-term oversold territory. Investment bank Stifel explicitly stated that the recent AI hardware sector selloff should be viewed as a valuation reset rather than demand weakness, with capital re-entering positions after oversold conditions driving the current rebound.

The broader optical communication sector moved higher in tandem, with Lumentum up over 8%, POET Technologies up over 7%, Astera Labs up over 5%, and Corning and Credo each up over 4%.
