    What Is POET Technologies' Investment Narrative?

    To own POET Technologies, you need to believe its Optical Interposer platform can turn very small current revenue of about US$1.7 million and large losses of roughly US$75.7 million into a real commercial engine for AI data centers and chip to chip links. The CIOE and IFOC appearances speak to that ambition. They keep POET in front of potential customers that care about power, density and cost for 800G and 1.6T optics, which matters for pipeline building more than for immediate numbers.

    In the short term, the key swing factors remain execution, funding and customer conversion. The business is still unprofitable, carries higher risk funding, and has already diluted shareholders over the past year, all while the share price has fallen roughly 40% over 90 days. Higher visibility at Shenzhen may support demand and pricing discussions if it leads to design wins or volume agreements. Without that follow through, the events are more about credibility than near term financial impact.

    That said, there is a less comfortable angle to the POET story once you put recent insider selling and dilution side by side with ...
