Small But Savage: 10 Stocks Delivering Outsized Gains

8. POET Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:POET)

POET Technologies rallied for a second day on Tuesday, jumping 10.75 percent to close at $6.90 apiece as investors took heart from the launch of an ultra-fast data-sending microchip capable of supporting the growing needs of the artificial intelligence industry.

In a blog post on Monday, POET Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:POET) introduced the Hybrid-Integrated 1.6T 2xFR4 Transmitter photonic integrated circuit (PIC), a new microchip capable of transmitting 1.6 trillion bits of data per second and supporting the growing demand of data centers, as networks slowly transition to 1.6T architectures from 400G to 800G at present.

“As network operators transition from 400G to 800G and 1.6T architectures, traditional assembly techniques are reaching physical and economic limits. Wire-bonded packages and micro-optical alignments add cost, magnify RF crosstalk and thermal challenges, and restrict yield,” POET Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:POET) said.

“Profit margins become thinner when using current approaches. A better way of moving data from one point to another has been sought for years. The POET Optical Interposer and the products built from it—including the Hybrid-Integrated 1.6T 2xFR4 Transmitter PIC—are perhaps the best solution for an industry in need. POET eliminates active alignment and wire bonds, providing a high-throughput, CMOS-compatible path to scale,” it added.
