A rumor circulating on Monday night regarding a potential FCC ban on optical modules has stirred the market, with the U.S. implementing a domestic substitution logic. Coherent and Marvell Technology surged over 12%, while Lumentum gained more than 8%. Analysts argue that U.S. optical module manufacturers cannot replace China's production capacity, especially for high-end modules. Currently, leading domestic companies are significantly ahead of their overseas counterparts in technical strength, product progress, cost control, and capacity layout, making it impossible to fill the gap in the short term.

BeeHive announced last night that its subsidiary signed a 7.67 billion yuan computing power business contract, including a 4.6 billion yuan computing power service agreement with a service term of 60 months. The company stated that its computing power operations are not limited to traditional leasing but focus on providing computing power rental services, with Token operations and computing power consumption as key expansion directions.

Driven by strong earnings from AI companies and easing tensions in the Middle East, the three major U.S. stock indexes all closed higher, with the Dow Jones and S&P 500 setting new closing records. The optical communication and storage sectors rallied, with Coherent and Marvell Technology rising over 12%, Intel and SanDisk up over 10%, Corning up over 9%, Lumentum and SK Hynix up over 8%, and Micron Technology and AMD up over 7%.

After Tuesday's U.S. market close, SpaceX released its first earnings report following its listing. The company's second-quarter revenue reached $7.8 billion, significantly higher than $4.1 billion in the same period last year and well above the market expectation of $6.93 billion. Starlink business revenue grew 66% year-over-year, accounting for over half of the company's total revenue. Following the report, SpaceX's stock fell over 8% in after-hours trading due to a surge in capital expenditures.

Institutional Perspectives

Founder Securities believes that after a sharp and rapid decline in July, there is a need for recovery in August, with style rotation and balance likely becoming the norm. Guolian Minsheng suggests that the leap in open-source model capabilities greatly promotes AI application development, and the curtain for AI application commercialization is about to rise. Everbright Securities notes that the rebound in technology stocks from oversold levels does not have a reversal foundation, and the relative outperformance of dividend-yielding assets is likely to continue.

Positive and Negative Outlook

Palantir, a leading U.S. AI application company, surged nearly 30% to a new stage high. Guolian Minsheng believes that the strategic focus of the AI investment theme may shift toward application directions. Accelerating the development of AI applications is key to solving whether current AI capital expenditure can generate sufficient positive industry fund returns, and it will become the industry's focus. The mandatory national standard for "Intelligent Connected Vehicles - Autonomous Driving System Safety Requirements" has been officially released. Guotai Haitong notes that the intelligent driving track is advancing both technological iterations and commercial deployment, with commercialization accelerating. It recommends focusing on intelligent driving-related hardware and services, such as wire-controlled chassis, intelligent driving domain controllers, sensors, and testing, as well as leading OEMs and algorithm companies. The successful launch of China's satellite network has provided a new catalyst for the commercial aerospace sector. CITIC Securities suggests that, in the short term, investment opportunities will be driven by intensive events such as technical tests, launch missions, and capital market fundraising. In the medium to long term, the core contradiction in commercial aerospace will shift from supply capacity to satellite network utilization and commercial application, with investment themes gradually moving downstream.
