AI-interconnect royalty narrative re-accelerating: DustPhotonics $750M buy on 2026-04-13 pivots CRDO from copper AEC to optical/CPO just as 3 sell-side inits/upgrades land in 7 days (Jefferies $175, Needham $220, GS $170). Fresh breakout…
CIEN
Optical picks-and-shovels on AI DCI / WaveLogic-7 1.6T cycle. Triple PT re-rate in 4 days (JPM/BofA $550 on 2026-04-16, MS $405 on 2026-04-20) = sell-side chasing; real binary is LITE/COHR prints ~2026-05-07/08, then CIEN Q2 ~2026-06-05.

Picks-and-shovels AI-infra validation play. Spirent integration + 1.6T optical / custom-silicon test cycle just had Goldman PT raised to $384 (2026-04-14) — first top-5 desk catching the narrative we want to be already long into. Q2 FY26…

ATEN
Sell-side narrative just fractured: Sidoti downgrade to $24 on 2026-04-20 directly contradicts Mizuho's $27 raise from 2026-04-14. Mixed-signal regime into Q1 print (~2026-05-07) kills directional edge — DORMANT, no entry pre-earnings.
UNIT
Post-Windstream merger fiber REIT with 47% analyst PT spread (RBC $7.50 vs Barclays $11, both mid-April 2026). Archetype-5 binary: Q1 2026 print ~May 6–9 is the only thing that matters. DORMANT until that tape resolves deleveraging pace…
VIAV
