$MXL
6/10Does he own it?
He explicitly laments NOT going long MXL after flagging it as a great opportunity, a direct admission of non-ownership. Earlier mentions are sector-basket lists and YTD/price-move trackers, never a first-person buy, hold, add, or weight disclosure. He even notes he was in other photonics names "for a while" but not MXL.
His thesis
MXL is one analog/mixed-signal IC name within his broader silicon photonics / co-packaged optics (CPO) supercycle thesis, where he expects a multi-year photonics buildout driven by scaling AI deployments. He singled MXL out as a strong specific opportunity and it subsequently surged sharply, validating his bullish read on the name within the sector rotation theme.
How his view evolved
Started as a minor entry in a broad CPO sector map, then highlighted as a standout mover after a large rally; finally he openly regretted identifying it as a great call yet never buying it.
Key points
- Flagged MXL as a strong specific opportunity within the CPO/silicon photonics theme
- Stock surged dramatically (76%, then ~300%) after he called it out
- He explicitly admits he did not go long, confirming he does not own it
