### @AAOI — Confirmed — from the 2025 annual report
Let me say that - our 10-K puts it in writing: products only minimally differentiated from competitors, okay? Many larger, better-funded. But here's the one structural edge - we fabricate our own indium-phosphide and gallium-arsenide laser chips in-house in Sugar Land, Texas. Call it unique in our industry. Plan to roughly triple that laser production by mid-2027. Built into our modules, not sold standalone. All right?
