The analyst outlines a long-term bullish positioning across 11 layers of AI infrastructure stocks, describing it as an AI infrastructure roadmap rather than a watchlist.
Each stock is positioned as a foundational or enabling technology in the AI infrastructure stack, from substrate materials to power, indicating a bullish thesis on AI infrastructure growth.
11 stocks- my positioning in 11 layers of AI infrastructure. Layer 1 — Substrate $AXTI — The raw crystal foundation. InP & GaAs wafers that power the photonics revolution. Layer 2 — Memory $MU — HBM demand exploding as AI workloads scale. Record earnings, strong guidance, and still trading at a valuation discount versus peers. Layer 3 — Networking Silicon $MRVL — Custom AI networking solutions powering hyperscaler infrastructure. Layer 4 — High-Speed Connectivity $CRDO — Terabit-speed connectivity between GPU clusters. AI performance depends on data movement. Layer 5 — RF / Photonics Enablement $SIVEF — Enabling the next generation of optical networking infrastructure. Layer 6 — Co-Packaged Optics $POET — Tackling power and bandwidth bottlenecks with optical interposer technology. Layer 7 — Optical Transceivers $AAOI — Positioned to benefit as hyperscale data centers accelerate optical deployments. Layer 8 — NeoCloud Compute $NBIS — AI-native cloud infrastructure built specifically for large-scale AI workloads. Layer 9 — Space Connectivity $RKLB — Building the launch and space infrastructure needed for global connectivity. Layer 10 — Physical AI Perception $OUST — Lidar technology enabling robotics, automation, smart infrastructure, and autonomous systems. Layer 11 — Power $OKLO — AI’s future ultimately depends on reliable, scalable energy. Power is the foundation beneath every layer above. Substrate → Memory → Networking → Connectivity → RF → Optics → Transceivers → Compute → Space → Perception → Power This isn’t a watchlist. It’s an AI infrastructure roadmap.
