Optical Components and Systems Companies Stocks – Back From a Very Dark Place

June 25, 2011

Earnings season is in full swing. The optical component and systems companies have been reporting solid revenues for most of 2010 and Q4 results set new records for a change - after almost ten years of balance sheets with 650-nm wavelength ink! The day after JDSU and Opnext reported earnings on Thursday 2/3/2011, their stocks increased by 20-30%. What is significant is virtually the entire datacenter, telecom optical components and systems group moved upwards within a few minutes of the market opening, signifying big money fund movements into this area. Business for optical components, modules and systems companies has been improving steadily over at least 12 months. Nothing fundamentally changed last week, apart from the broader market taking notice of the situation and Wall Street analysts raising earnings estimates.

Market for optical transceivers increased by 30% last year

June 25, 2011

Global sales of optical interface modules used in telecom and datacom networks exceeded $2.5 billion in 2010, increasing by 30% from the year before. The growth was driven by sales of 10 Gbps SFP+ and DWDM modules, including 40 Gbps and even 100 Gbps products. Sales of WSS modules used in ROADMs and tunable lasers were also strong in 2010, growing at 34% and 14%, respectively. It was a slow year, however, for active optical cables, as demand for these modules is closely tied to individual installations of supercomputer clusters and this market remains volatile. Detailed analysis of the optical communications market, based on confidential sales data provided by 23 leading vendors, is presented in a new LightCounting Market Update report released on January 24, 2011.
