Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) Falls 14% on Profit-Taking, Wait-And-See Mode

Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (NASDAQ:AAOI) is one of the 10 Stock Market Casualties You Can’t Ignore Today.

Applied Optoelectronics fell by 14.11 percent on Friday to close at $87.54 apiece amid a combination of profit-taking and a broader market pessimism, thanks to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East.

The drop can also be attributed to profit-taking activities, as investors turned sellers following a two-day rally that saw the company add an easy 18 percent, while mitigating risks from any potential developments over the weekend.

Earlier this week, Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (NASDAQ:AAOI) showcased a comprehensive range of transceiver products designed for future AI systems, from 100G to 1.6T, as well as its next-generation 400mW laser Continuous Wave (CW) for 25dBm external laser small form-factor pluggable (ELSFP).
