On Friday, POET Technologies (OTC:POETF) Inc. (NASDAQ: POET) saw an increase in its price target from $3.50 to $5.50, while retaining a Buy rating from a Craig-Hallum analyst. The adjustment reflects the analyst's optimism about the company's imminent commercialization and its strategic partnership with Mitsubishi, a prominent player in the datacom laser industry.
The analyst noted that although POET Technologies' journey to commercialization has taken longer than initially expected, the company is now at the threshold of achieving this milestone next year. This progress is largely attributed to its relationship with Mitsubishi, which is anticipated to drive significant developments throughout the next year, potentially leading to reasonable product volumes in 2026.
POET Technologies has been actively engaging with other customers as well, which is believed to be opening up additional opportunities. Initially, the company's goal was to intersect at mainstream and legacy speeds, but it has since repositioned itself to potentially lead in next-generation solutions expected to emerge in the coming years.
The company's optical interposer technology is seen as providing key advantages to customers, particularly AI and cloud service providers, by addressing critical issues such as power efficiency and cost. The analyst expressed confidence that as POET Technologies demonstrates the scalability of its technology, it could become a disruptive force in the current optical transceiver market and expand its influence into other areas in the future.
Reiterating the Buy rating, the analyst concludes that the raised price target to $5.50 is justified by the company's promising technological advancements and strategic partnerships that are expected to bear fruit in the near future.
