POET

TORONTO, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (“POET” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: POET), the designer and developer of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), light sources and optical modules for the AI and data center markets, today announced that it will exhibit at the 2026 China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE), taking place September 9-11, 2026, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center.

POET Technologies has experienced a 37% stock price decline, creating a healthier valuation and setting the stage for renewed upside. Following the pullback, POET now trades at a 15-month forward price-to-sales ratio of 13x, which I believe is justified by its robust revenue growth. The company recently delivered a double-beat earnings report with triple-digit percentage revenue growth, signaling potential sentiment turnaround.

A tiny photonics company just landed a massive purchase order from a hyperscaler supplier, and its balance sheet suddenly gives it years to prove whether that deal is the beginning of something enormous or just another false start.

Lumilens (POET's largest customer) raised $700 million at a $5.51 billion valuation while already supplying optical connectivity products to a major hyperscaler. POET secured an initial $50 million Lumilens order, potentially expanding beyond $500 million in cumulative purchases over five years. POET job openings surged 278% to 28 in July and reached 38 by August, signaling accelerating commercialization preparations.

Optical computing has become one of the most closely watched sub-themes in the AI infrastructure buildout, and few pure-plays sit closer to the bleeding edge than POET Technologies (NASDAQ:POET).

POET Technologies (NASDAQ:POET) is a leading AI photonics story on the Nasdaq with real momentum heading into earnings.

TORONTO, Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POET Technologies Inc. (“POET” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: POET), the designer and developer of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), light sources and optical modules for the AI and data center markets, today announced the appointments of Dr. Bardia Pezeshki and Jean F. Rankin to its Board of Directors, effective August 1, 2026.

POET Technologies' governance issues and the Marvell partnership loss damaged its credibility, but the long-term AI optical connectivity opportunity remains fundamentally intact. POET secured a $50 million Lumilens purchase order with a framework that could exceed $500 million if production scales successfully. The $400 million capital raise significantly strengthened the balance sheet, shifting investor focus from financing risk to execution risk.

POET Technologies (NASDAQ:POET) builds optical interposers and photonic engines that let hyperscale data centers move data with light instead of copper.
