Portfolio Pies
Understand, build and optimise your T212 pies
🥧 What is a pie?
T212's way of auto-investing across multiple stocks at once
A pie is a portfolio within your portfolio. You set a target allocation — e.g. 40% AXTI, 30% AAOI, 30% LITE — and T212 automatically splits every deposit or dividend across your stocks in those exact proportions. It removes emotion from investing: instead of manually deciding how much to put into each stock each time, the pie does it for you.
✅ Good for
Themes you want to hold long term · Drip-feeding money in regularly · Keeping diversification on autopilot
❌ Not ideal for
Short-term trades · Stocks you want to exit quickly · Anything where timing matters
💡 Pro tip
Build pies around themes — CPO supply chain, space economy, AI infrastructure — not random collections of stocks

Photonics & Optics
The optical value chain powering AI infrastructure
🔍 What's the bottleneck?
Why this sector matters right now
A bottleneck is the one constraint that limits how fast everything else can grow. In AI infrastructure, the bottleneck right now is moving data fast enough between chips. Copper cables can't keep up beyond short distances at the speeds modern AI requires — so everything is switching to light (optical fibre). The companies that make the materials, components and modules for this transition are the bottleneck plays. Supply is constrained. Demand is exploding. That's the setup.
The supply chain — who depends on who

Where the money is — and the clock ticking
Two phases of the same cycle. Knowing which phase each stock is in is everything.
Phase 1 — happening now Pluggable transceivers
AI data centres are buying enormous volumes of pluggable optical modules right now — the connectors that plug into network switches and carry data over fibre. AAOI makes these. Demand is at record levels as GPU clusters get built out. This is real, current revenue.
⚠️ But here's what matters most: AAOI's product gets replaced
Pluggable transceivers are a transitional technology. CPO (the next phase) eliminates the need for pluggable modules entirely — the optics move onto the chip and there's nothing to plug in anymore. AAOI knows this. The question isn't if their current product gets disrupted — it's when. The window is probably 2027–2029. Right now demand is strong and AAOI is profitable. But this is a stock you ride and exit, not buy and hold forever.
AAOI — ride the cycle, watch the exit
Phase 2 — being built now Co-Packaged Optics (CPO)
CPO is what replaces pluggables. Instead of plugging optics into the side of a switch, they get built directly onto the chip. NVIDIA confirmed this is mandatory for next-gen AI. The companies building this infrastructure — LITE, COHR for lasers; AXTI for the InP wafer the lasers need; TSEM as NVIDIA's manufacturing partner — are positioning now for revenue that starts flowing H2 2026 onwards.
💡 The interesting overlap: LITE and COHR make money in both phases
Unlike AAOI which only makes pluggables, LITE and COHR sell laser components into pluggable modules today and are also developing the laser engines for CPO. They transition with the industry rather than getting replaced by it. That's why they're considered longer-term holds.
AXTI — CPO substrate bottleneck TSEM LITE COHR
SOI (Soitec) — sleeping near-monopoly
Not in your portfolio · Listed in France (Euronext) · Ticker: SOI.PA
Soitec doesn't make chips — they make the engineered silicon wafers the entire semiconductor industry builds on, using patented Smart Cut™ technology. The only qualified volume supplier for TSMC, GlobalFoundries and Tower Semi. 70%+ global market share in RF-SOI (inside every 5G phone). Now ramping Photonics-SOI for AI data centres (CPO wave 2026+). 4,300+ patents. Demand growing from AI, 5G/6G and EVs while supply is capacity-constrained.

Memory & Storage
DRAM, NAND, HBM — the full memory landscape
🔍 What's the bottleneck?
AI models need to store and retrieve massive amounts of data at extreme speeds. The bottleneck is memory bandwidth — how fast data can move in and out of the chip. High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is the premium product that solves this for AI training chips (NVIDIA H100, H200, B200 all require it). Only three companies in the world make HBM at scale: Micron, SK Hynix, Samsung. Supply is tight. Prices are rising. Every new AI chip generation needs more of it.
How to read this sector: Don't react to earnings — by then it's priced in. Track DRAM/NAND spot prices (Samsung/SK Hynix announcements) and hyperscaler capex guidance. Those move the stock weeks or months before results.
The memory landscape
How smart money tracks memory stocks
Watch DRAM & NAND spot prices first
When Samsung announces price increases, MU goes up weeks later. Jan 2026: Samsung doubled NAND prices → MU went $300→$400 before earnings. Institutions get paid vendor reports (TrendForce, DRAMeXchange) 2–3 days early.
Track hyperscaler capex guidance
Every $1 Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta spend on data centres contains memory. When they raise capex guidance, DRAM demand follows. Watch their quarterly calls before MU reports.
Earnings week options = terrible idea
All the profit is made before the information is known. By earnings week the move is done. Professionals already repositioned. Earnings are just confirmation that your earlier estimates were right.
Space & Earth Data
Satellites, launch, connectivity — the new space economy
🔍 What's the bottleneck?
AI is running out of high-quality training data from the internet. The next frontier is real-world proprietary data — satellite imagery, sensor readings, physical world observations. The bottleneck is launch capacity and ground-truth data collection. Only a handful of companies can put satellites into orbit affordably. The companies that own the infrastructure to collect and sell that data at scale have a structural moat. Defence and intelligence agencies are also the biggest buyers — government contracts provide stable, recurring revenue.

LiDAR & Autonomy
4D sensing, autonomous vehicles and physical AI
🔍 What's the bottleneck?
Autonomous vehicles and robots need to see and understand the physical world in real time. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses to map the environment in 3D. The bottleneck is the laser itself — specifically Indium Phosphide (InP) lasers with ultra-low phase noise for FMCW (4D) LiDAR. There are very few companies that can produce these at the quality and volume required. The companies that solve this become foundational suppliers across all autonomous systems — trucks, cars, robots, drones.
The LiDAR value chain
Sivers Semiconductors (SIVE) — $53M–$138M LiDAR opportunity confirmed
$325M market cap · LiDAR customer ramping Q4 2026 · Lead candidate: Aeva ($AEVA)
Sivers makes ultra-stable, high-power InP lasers with low phase noise — exactly what FMCW 4D LiDAR requires. CEO confirmed they are included in "all of the customer's projects." The technical specs and delivery timeline align with Aeva's production ramp for Daimler Truck autonomous freight (2026/27) and NVIDIA Hyperion integration. If Sivers is the laser engine behind this, they're not a component supplier — they're a foundational partner across the entire sensor portfolio.
