What could break the thesis?
STABLE: The filing continues to describe optical communications products as highly competitive, increasingly commoditized, and subject to pricing pressure from established and Asia-based competitors. Systems revenue growth was accompanied by lower pricing across multiple transceiver lines. No evidence shows that the competitive threat materially improved or worsened during the quarter. (2 stable, 1 intensifying)
“The markets in which we sell products are undergoing product, architectural and business model transitions driven in part by the deployment of AI, have high customer concentrations, are highly competitive, are price sensitive... We expect these factors to result in variability of our gross margin and our gross margin may be subject to increasing downward pressure.”
