Connectivity Stocks Rotate Toward Copper and Mixed Optical Exposure

Conviction: 68% · Horizon: 1Y · 2026-06-18
Connectivity winners should favor copper and mixed optical exposure over pure-play optics

Datacenter connectivity demand remains early in its physical buildout, but market leadership is shifting toward companies with broader copper and optics exposure as pure optical names face valuation pressure, China oversupply concerns, and momentum rotation.

Instrument Side Target Reason
GLW Long We believe Corning is positioned to benefit from sustained AI datacenter connectivity investment while offering broader exposure than pure optical component suppliers, which may help its multiple hold up better during sector digestion.
CRDO Long We believe Credo can keep benefiting from demand for high-speed datacenter connectivity, especially where copper and mixed interconnect solutions gain share alongside optical buildouts.
