Wall Street defends AI plumbing stocks — accumulate optical networking picks

Major banks are defending the companies that build the high-speed networking gear connecting AI data centers. Despite broader market noise, analysts are doubling down on their confidence in these behind-the-scenes hardware makers.

Idea

While everyone focuses on the big AI chipmakers, the companies building the plumbing that connects those chips are seeing massive order books. Today, JPMorgan defended Lumentum, while analysts specifically highlighted Semtech and Ciena for their critical roles in AI data centers. Because these stocks are less crowded than the headline AI names, they have more room to run as data center build-outs accelerate. Buying a basket of these networking picks captures the next wave of AI spending.
