Applied Optoelectronics shares rise intraday by 5.3% to $113.30 after the steep drop was linked to the announcement of a new at‑the‑market agreement to sell up to $600 million of common stock. This is the third large ATM financing this year after $500 million in April and a $600 million program in May and continues to fuel dilution fears. Investors are supporting the rebound based on strong operational performance: Q2 2026 revenue increased 86% to $191.9 million, and management is guiding Q3 revenue of $255 million to $290 million. Positive industry sentiment and a friendly Nasdaq environment are also helping stabilize the stock, but dilution risks remain a burdensome factor. » More on de.investing.com
