Optical communication stocks rebound; Fabrinet jumps over 14% post-earnings

The breadth of the move—spanning transceivers, cabling, and connectivity silicon rather than a single name—suggests the market is treating optical demand as a sector-wide theme rather than one company's story. Fabrinet's outsized gain points to earnings as the near-term catalyst, with peers lifted in sympathy. The open question is whether this rebound reflects durable order visibility across the group or simply a relief rally around one report; the next earnings prints from the other names will be the test of that.
