Just very helpful timelines reiterated around glass substrate (source: Trendforce): - SKC Absolics (011790) H2 2026 (first mover x $AMAT) - $AMD customers - Samsung electromechanics h2 2027 (009150) x Sumitomo Chem (4005) - Apple / $AVGO / hyperscalers Idk about $INTC 2030 reports, we’ll see. $TSM CoPoS was 2-3Y was correct though from recent TSM chairman comments. Innolux was interesting beneficiary. $SHMD should be too off TSM but financials were pretty toxic. Same players should appear multiple times, eg innolux + SKC. Also applies to $LPK and upstream equipment seller around these ramps.

A few important corrections! $SHMD 1. The InfinityLine H+ system is for PLP on organic substrates, not glass. Which means... 2. The customer is probably SpaceX (not $INTC)! a) "SpaceX has been the primary company linked to the specific 700mm x 700mm format. In late 2025, reports surfaced that SpaceX was building an advanced packaging facility in Bastrop, Texas. The goal is to package entire Starlink phased-array antennas as single, massive "chips" to reduce costs and increase performance." b) Schmid’s announcement explicitly mentioned that the system addresses demand in "Space & Defense applications". 3. I still think the connection between $LPFK and $SHMD is there and strong. a) https://t.co/1pdZsmF7tx b) From Gemini: "Schmid is the primary partner for the wet-process portion of the LIDE workflow. Their InfinityLine systems are specifically engineered to handle the chemistry that LPKF-modified glass requires. If Intel $INTC is using $LPKF (which they are), they are almost certainly using Schmid's etching and plating lines to finish the job" c) Intel & SpaceX are partners in "TeraFab." Intel uses $LPFK, SpaceX uses $SHMD. $LPFK & $SHMD are ideal partners. Both also German companies. Literally 2/15 companies that formed the "Glass Panel Technology Group" together in Nov 2025. I feel like the connection between SpaceX + Intel + $LPFK + $SHMD are very strong and more than speculative. Do your own research. I'm aware that $SHMD has ugly financials. This is a moonshot bet that if they scale with these customers, they could 10x. But if few things go wrong, this is a company that can actually go lower. Can it go to zero? Well, I imagine their IP alone is insanely valuable. But yeah, their finances do look horrible. Just for context, I think this is a 1% allocation type of investment. You make 10 of these and many will actually go to 0. But if you're good 1-2 of them will just print endless money and your overall return is very good. Basically VC style investing in public companies. If you don't like these investments, totally fine. Just go for the safe bets like $NBIS that will compound for years.

Yesterday was pretty great! Strong moves for all my positions $HIMS $LPF / $LPFK $OUST $SHMD and finally a juicy dip in $NBIS below 8ema which allowed me to add it back! Overall market looks completely overvalued to me. Generally I think now is a very bad time for FOMO and leverage. This is also why I decided to sell both $NVTS and $VICR at just a net 10% gain. I see all the smart people saying power semis are next and I believe it. But after I updated my macro analysis I immediately decided that it's one of the worst times to hold such overvalued names. Obviously they can always go much higher. I sold $OKLO between $120-$140 and then it ran to $180 before crashing. Right now I do think well see many such names crash if we get any narrative violation in earnings. If certain metrics I'm tracking hit my risk bar, I will seriously consider going 100% cash for a while. Have only done that once (tariff escalation). Will share that here transparently, even if I know going cash will be a super hated move.

Holy shit $INTC crushed it! I genuinely believe $SHMD and $LPKF could 10x as a result. They could be the best levered way to profit from Intel's success and this general supercycle. Now I finally understand why @aleabitoreddit @JKeynesAlpha @genZinvest0r and many others love these names! Finally had time to do proper research and DAMN, the upside is real and does seem incredibly asymmetrical. Sorry for the buzzword, but it's accurate. But first: you can verify EVERYTHING I'm writing below with Gemini (don't use other AIs as they suck at browsing and only using recent and complete data)! Except the 10x claim, that is obviously my speculative interpretation, not an objective fact. Here's why I think they can 10x: The $INTC x $SHMD Smoking Guns (95% Certainty Intel is the client): 1️⃣ In March, Schmid shipped their InfinityLine H+ to a "U.S. giant." Intel is the only company on Earth using that massive 700mm panel format for Glass Substrates! 2️⃣ Timeline: Delivery in March → Intel reports "ahead of schedule" yield in April. Adds up perfectly. Coincidence? 3️⃣ Tech: $SHMD owns the "touchless" wet-process tech Intel needs to keep glass from cracking. The $LPKF Smoking Guns (95% Certainty): 1️⃣ Monopoly: CEO confirmed an 80% win rate with "global majors." 2️⃣ You can’t use Schmid’s etcher without LPKF’s LIDE laser. They are technically "married" at the factory level. If Intel is buying the "paving machine" (Schmid), they already bought the "GPS" (LPKF). Why is Intel crushing it? We’re moving from training to execution. Agents (mind-blowing levels of demand and compute) need "Orchestration Compute." Reports show agentic workloads needing (up to) 2 CPUs for every 1 GPU. That's why all CPU stocks are exploding. It has been said for months, but the market is just getting confirmation left and right that it's happening and demand is insane. So insane that companies like Intel are selling inventory they planned to write off! So why can these 2 stocks 10x? Intel is a $300B+ giant. $SHMD and $LPKF are tiny German sub ~$400M nano-caps. A single Intel 'Terafab' order is a rounding error for $INTC, but it represents a massive 15–20% of annual revenue for $LPKF and a staggering 20–30% for $SHMD. What Intel spends on a single pilot line effectively funds these companies for an entire quarter. This is obviously not financial advice. Please do your own research and validate everything in my post with Gemini, seriously do it! That will only harden your conviction and you need conviction to hold these stocks. Even if they 10x their moves will not be a straight line up but insanely volatile! You NEED conviction and I can't give you that, you must earn it. Also, these are nano caps, please don't go full retard and position size accordingly if something goes seriously wrong, which could always happen. They KEY in asymmetric investing is position sizing. If your winners do a 2-10x and some go to 0, you're still up big time. But if you win 9/10 times and then you go to 0 with 1 "all-in swing"... you're dead. P.S. here's the craziest part: while @aleabitoreddit made people aware of $LPFK and it started running, $SHMD is literally trading below it 50 day simple moving average. Their balance sheet is ugly, yes, but if $INTC is the customer, that risk is ridiculously tiny compared to the future upside.

My 5 Favourite small cap Photonics Plays Right Now $POET — First production order for POET Infinity optical engines worth $5M+, targeting 30,000+ shipments in 2026 for 400–800G AI data center links , backed by $430M cash. The commercialization arc is just beginning. $LWLG — Polymer modulator platform now integrated into GlobalFoundries’ silicon photonics PDK, with tape-outs targeting 200G and 400G per lane for AI data centers. A Fortune 500 customer just hit Stage 3 of its design win cycle. Getting real. $SIVEF — The only one here actually generating meaningful revenue. Full-year 2025 revenue up 25% with AEBITDA improving 31% and opportunity pipeline hitting $453M — up 64% YoY. LiDAR customer production ramp in Q4 2026 carries $53–138M cumulative revenue potential. $OPTX — Defense photonics compounder quietly stacking orders. $2M AI-powered AR camera order and $4M in U.S. military platform orders landed in early 2026 , with NDAA onshoring mandates as a structural tailwind. $SHMD — Advanced packaging equipment play. Guiding for €100M+ in 2026 sales and 12%+ EBITDA margins, backed by €53M+ contracted order backlog. Enabling the AI chip supply chain from the manufacturing layer up. The photonics wave is still early. These 5 names are my conviction plays across the stack. The AI infrastructure wave isn’t just about GPUs — it’s about the optical layer that makes them talk to each other. Not financial advice.

$SHMD — While everyone’s chasing chip stocks, SCHMID Group is quietly supplying the machines that manufacture the advanced PCBs and AI server substrates powering it all. They just delivered their first InfinityLine H+ Panel-Level Packaging system to a leading U.S. tech company, and recently secured a multi-million dollar order from a major Asian PCB manufacturer targeting AI and HPC platforms. For 2026, management is guiding for over €100M in sales and a 12%+ adjusted EBITDA margin — a massive inflection from where they were just two years ago. Trading around $6.50 with a ~$360 M market cap, this is the picks-and-shovels AI infrastructure play hiding in plain sight. Not financial advice.

I am long $LPK / $LPKF / $LPK.DE Not a fan of many names that get too much hype, as I often struggle to see any material substance compared to the hype, but I totally see the potential for LPK and $SHMD ! The reason why I took a look at this stock is because the people posting about it are smart and I've seen them make many great calls. You can love or hate @aleabitoreddit but you can't deny performance. If you believe in performance above else, he's the undisputed King of FinX. Seeing that @genZinvest0r and @JKeynesAlpha took positions prior was a strong motivation to take this stock seriously and do DD. That allows me keep some mental sanity with the moves these stocks see daily. Both small 1-5% positions. Both horribly volatile. But when you see 10x potential, you have to allocate a little bit and just let them run.

People nonstop ask me about $LPKK / $LPK for my opinion Yes, I mentioned they're like a chokepoint for glass core substrates for LIDE (laser induced deep etching) way back when. Biggest known partner is $ONTO (LIDE with Onto metrology for glass core mass production). Then as for market share: "more than 80% of customers among major global players have selected LPKF equipment" for process validation. So that probably includes: - Samsung Electronics/Electro-Mechanics - $INTC (Receives a Major Order from a Leading Chip Manufacturer... installed a first LIDE system at the beginning of 2020... now ordered further LIDE systems to start volume production) - SKC (Absolics) - $GLW, AGC, Schott. - Nippon electric glass. Of course this is evaluation, so that 80% could be lower in actual ramp. As for some personal FWD P/E calculations: - 2027: ~11-12.5x and ~7.8x for 2028, which looks very compelling. - Total Cash: ~€10.0M, debt was around ~€3.0M. debt to equity: ~3.8% So very clean-asset light balance sheet, no dilution overhang like $SHMD. ~$362m MC, conclusion: great upside long imo, hard to see institutions not buying this name down the road. Even if the 80% of players managed to design another way, even a fraction would probably be very material to the MC. It was probably a bit early few months ago, but glass core roadmaps have been speeding up like CPO. Disclosure: I do have positions. This are just my thoughts. People on X did their homework.

$SHMD SCHMID is a wet-process equipment maker — they build the precision machinery that manufacturers use to etch, plate, develop, strip, and clean the substrates inside AI chips and server boards. Think of them as picks-and-shovels deep in the semiconductor supply chain — they don’t make chips, they make the tools that make the surfaces chips sit on. SCHMID makes the wet-process equipment at the substrate layer — the step between chip fabrication and final system assembly. Every AI server board and advanced package has to go through this process. The technology is genuinely compelling and purpose-built for the AI infrastructure buildout wave. The InfinityLine suite + glass substrate + CoWoP positioning is not vaporware — they’re shipping real systems to real customers in Japan, the U.S., Southeast Asia, and China. The question isn’t whether the tech is real. It’s whether a heavily indebted, Nasdaq-compliance-challenged micro-cap can survive long enough to capture the revenue wave it’s pointing at. For Investment $SHMD is a high-risk, speculative AI infrastructure play with a genuine technology edge in glass substrates, panel-level packaging, and advanced PCB wet processing — all real secular growth markets. But the financials are genuinely challenged, active delisting threat from Nasdaq. The bull case requires the company to more than 6x its H1 2025 revenue run rate in 2026 and successfully navigate its financing structure without further dilution and the Nasdaq compliance issue resolves.

5 Photonics Small Caps on the Move $POET – Building the AI data highway POET’s optical interposer is designed to move massive data faster and more efficiently inside AI systems. If adoption scales, this could be a game changer for next-gen data centers. $LWLG – Disrupting with optical materials Lightwave Logic is developing electro-optic polymers that could outperform traditional silicon photonics in speed and power efficiency. High risk, but massive upside if commercialization hits. $ALMU – Quiet compound semiconductor play Aeluma sits at the intersection of photonics, sensing, and advanced semiconductors. Exposure to AI, defense, and quantum gives it multiple growth angles. $OPTX – Early optical connectivity momentum OptX is focused on high-speed optical interconnects — exactly where demand is exploding with AI and cloud scaling. Still under the radar. $SHMD – Undiscovered niche player A smaller, lesser-known name with exposure to optical and sensing technologies. These are often the kind of setups where early momentum builds fast. Photonics is heating up fast — as AI scales, the real bottleneck is no longer compute… it’s data movement. These small caps are starting to catch momentum. This is where capital is starting to rotate — and small caps tend to move the fastest once the theme catches fire. DOYR

@soup19152116 I think a lot of people on X got $SHMD right in terms of their critical role for glass substrates/etc. But it doesn't mean it's a great stock due to financials and I'm personally avoiding it (could be wrong though). There's 46.6 million new shares tied to warrants, convertible notes, and an earlier €10M loan. It also permits the resale of up to 95 million shares. I don't think their minor revenues now will outpace dilution. Maybe later in 2028

Pretty crazy day 🤯 $SHMD up 35% $NBIS up 12% Korean bleeding hopefully over, fingers crossed. $OUST a little disappointing, gave back a lot of the earnings gains. $KRKNF dumped 5%, probably because market doesn't like dilution. As mentioned in the post yesterday, I did buy the dip (adding receipt so people don't freak tf out, even though I don't really see the point as anyone could fake screenshots easily nowadays, but fine...). Having Kraken in my portfolio just makes me feel great right now, as I believe independent of what happens next, the world just woke up to the fact that Maritime defense is getting incnreasingly important. I'm heavy AI infra and a China Taiwan conflict is still very scary to me. I do believe Anduril will invest aggressively in Kraken products to prepare for this scenario.

Added a new stock today! SCHMID Group $SHMD Looks like a great setup to me. High risk, very high reward. INTRO: Schmid Group is a 160-year-old German company that holds a potential monopoly on the "wet-processing" equipment needed for the next generation of AI computing: Glass Core Substrates (GCS). Modern AI chips are getting too big and hot for current plastic boards; they need glass to stop warping, and Schmid has the unique tech to plate the microscopic holes in that glass. THESIS: The investment thesis is based on a massive "valuation dislocation". Right now, the market is pricing $SHMD like a distressed, old-school machinery manufacturer because of a messy SPAC listing and delayed financial audits. However, the industrial reality is that Schmid rests at the convergence of three supercycles: AI scaling, the commercial space revolution, and Western supply chain reshoring. They are a critical choke point enabler for all three. The stock has a low float, high short interest, and trades at a massive discount to AI-adjacent peers like Camtek. The bet is that 2026 is the inflection point where the audit is finalized, their €95M order backlog converts to revenue, and the market realizes they hold the keys to solving the packaging "yield crisis" facing giants like NVIDIA and SpaceX. SCENARIOS (2026): 🐻 Bear Case ($1–$3): They fail to file the delayed 20-F audit and get delisted to the OTC Pink Sheets, forcing immediate institutional dumping regardless of the underlying technology. Probability: 20% | Return: -80% 😐 Base Case ($15–$25): The KPMG audit clears, removing the "uninvestable" overhang. They execute on guidance to hit €100M+ revenue in 2026 as the industry shifts from plastic to glass substrates. Probability: 50% | Return: +150% 🚀 Bull Case ($50–$80): Audit clears AND rumored partnerships with Broadcom or SpaceX for their massive Texas manufacturing expansion are confirmed publicly. This catalyst sparks a violent short squeeze on the tiny available float. Probability: 30% | Return: +700% DISCLAIMER: This is not financial advice. I am semi-retarded.

@reticulosaurus @retail_mourinho I’m still researching $SHMD but generally if you have $AVGO as a customer and your marketcap is $300m then there’s quite a lot of upside. Don’t have any concrete directional opinions yet, I’m still looking into it

@retail_mourinho Thanks! Hope you’ve had a great new years Lot of the discussion in around private markets but the same thesis around bottlenecks with $AXTI or $SHMD is highly relevant to public companies

@pennycheck Thanks, that's incredibly interesting. I'll take a deeper dive into $SHMD over the weekend. They would benefit a ton from the start of glass substrate production cycles.

@LucasFdez87 @pennycheck $SHMD reminds me of $ASML for the Fab cycle, but there's going to be one for glass substrates. Apparently they provide 70% of the equipment for substrate production, and are likely part of Intel, Samsung, and other roadmaps. Very interesting, I need to look into it
