BlockBeats News, June 1st, "Stock God" Serenity posted, stating that the recent downturn in the photonics sector was mainly due to "follow-the-leader" algorithmic trading on a leading exchange. Looking at the stock performance of laser and optoelectronic module companies such as AAOI and Sivers, market sentiment was largely influenced by the trend of Coherent (LITE), rather than changes in individual stock fundamentals. It pointed out that although the fundamentals of some companies have continued to improve, such as Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) with progress in business related to clients like AMD and NVIDIA, their high Beta nature made them more vulnerable to algorithmic selling during an industry-wide adjustment. Serenity also revealed that Sivers may announce more optoelectronic module customer collaboration information in the future. Serenity stated that it does not recommend participating in short-term trading with violent fluctuations of 20%-30% in such individual stocks but rather prefers to hold long-term positions in core beneficiary companies in the photonics industry chain. This is because of their optimism regarding the exponential growth prospects of the industry's Total Addressable Market (TAM).

Odaily reported that market analysis indicates that if Musk's proposed merger between SpaceX and Tesla is implemented, SpaceX may need to issue new shares equivalent to 94% of its current outstanding shares to acquire Tesla, bringing the total shares to about 8 billion. However, the financial logic of the transaction faces challenges: Tesla's GAAP net income over the past 12 months has fallen from $15 billion in 2023 to $3.9 billion. After excluding regulatory credit revenue and Bitcoin gains, core operating profit is only about $2.3 billion. Analysts believe the essence of this deal may be using highly-valued assets to acquire another company with similarly high valuation, and its long-term profitability and cash flow performance remain highly uncertain. The post-merger company valuation could reach $3.4 trillion, with SpaceX estimated at $1.75 trillion and Tesla currently valued at about $1.65 trillion. Musk may leverage SpaceX’s upcoming IPO, which will generate a high valuation, to support Tesla as it faces performance pressures. (Fortune)
