On June 11, Applied Optoelectronics fell 5.78% in regular trading, trading at $169.78/share, with trading volume of $4.75 billion. The decline follows a sharp rally of approximately 13% on June 8 and 9% on June 10, as profit-taking emerged amid conflicting signals regarding CPO technology timelines.

On the news front, a SemiAnalysis report previously indicated that CPO (Co-Packaged Optics) mass production would be delayed until after 2028, which the market initially interpreted as bullish for traditional optical module suppliers like AAOI, driving the recent rally. However, reports emerged that NVIDIA executives stated CPO would begin ramping in the second half of the year, creating a direct contradiction that undermined market confidence in the thesis that traditional pluggable optical module demand would be extended.

The conflicting signals caused investors to reassess the duration of traditional optical module demand, prompting concentrated selling after the stock's rapid two-session gains. Applied Optoelectronics is a leading supplier of fiber-optic networking products, primarily serving cable television, fiber-to-the-home, and data center end markets.
