Vontobel Holding

Optical networks are replacing copper in data centers and driving growth in photonic components, transceivers and network systems. Rising demand from AI data centers and the shift to 800G/1.6T standards favor manufacturers such as Lumentum, Fujikura and Applied Optoelectronics, but also bring supply-chain risks and customer concentration. Vontobel is offering a certificate on the Solactive Optical Networks Technology Index, which tracks 15 companies across the value chain; investors should be aware of issuer and market risks as well as potential component bottlenecks. » Więcej na finanzen.net
