The global AI computing power capex cycle is clearly trending up from 2026 to 2028. The main incremental opportunity in TMT, communications and electronics is concentrated in the high-speed optical communications supply chain. Forecasts for global 1.6T optical module shipments have been sharply raised, and visibility for orders at industry leaders now extends to 2028. Silicon photonics and CPO continue to push up the ceiling on value per unit.
Shenwan Hongyuan said this TMT upcycle is driven by AI computing power capex, and the optical module industry should stay in an uptrend through at least 2028. It estimates demand for 400G and faster optical modules will exceed $70 billion in 2027. On the technology side, the transition to NPO and the long-term evolution toward CPO are opening a second growth curve for the sector. TMT investing is centered on the theme of domestic substitution for computing power hardware, with optical modules, optical chips and advanced packaging as the key allocation areas. The sector may enter another upward window by the end of the third quarter.
By trading congestion, the AI supply chain is clearly diverging. Semiconductor equipment and computing power chip names are near historical highs in crowding, while optical modules and fiber-optic devices remain relatively under-owned. Guohai Securities said the recent selloff in U.S. tech stocks is only a sentiment shock; overseas cloud providers have not changed their long-term plans to expand computing power, and Meta and NVIDIA are still adding orders for 1.6T optical modules. Capital is rotating within TMT from crowded themes into lower-valued hardware names with stronger order visibility. The optical communications sub-sector is entering a window for allocation, while AI servers, memory chips and other supporting TMT hardware can be added alongside it to smooth volatility risk.
Changjiang Securities said Q3 2026 is the key inflection point for large-scale shipments of 1.6T optical modules. Overseas top-tier customers keep adding orders, and leading companies continue to expand capacity to secure delivery, leaving plenty of room for full-year earnings upgrades. Upstream optical chips for optical modules still have broad room for domestic substitution, making them one of the biggest long-term incremental opportunities in TMT. Domestic makers are gradually breaking through in high-end lasers and detectors. First-half results in TMT will show clear divergence, with earnings growth at computing power, communications and electronics companies materially ahead of media and traditional consumer electronics.
