What happened: Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) surged over 1,140% in a year, reaching $132.70 with a $10.31B market cap, driven by strong demand for its 800G and 1.6T data transceivers. The company's stock climbed 17.7% ahead of upbeat earnings, making it one of the top-performing stocks with double-digit returns. Bullish sentiment was further fueled by management's guidance of $1B revenue in 2026, backed by 800G transceiver orders from hyperscale customers.
