The print record

5 of 10 EPS beats and 3 of 10 revenue beats across the covered prints, with three-day reactions splitting 6 up · 1 flat · 3 down (as of the 2026-08-05 card). The beat flags do not predict anything. Applied Optoelectronics has beaten on earnings five times in ten and on revenue three — the weakest record in this series — and it is the most bought name in it: 6 up, 1 flat, 3 down. It was paid +59.4% for a print that missed on both lines (Nov 24) and sold 29.7% on one where revenue beat (Feb 25). Four of its six bought reactions came on quarters that missed on revenue. The reaction range runs from −29.7% to +77.6% — 107 points, against the 11 points Datadog's ten prints span on the same measure and the same day. This is a name the tape trades on optical demand commentary and design wins, with the printed numbers as an afterthought. It goes in hot: +16.85% Monday and +19.44% Tuesday, +39.6% across two sessions, and still 43.7% below the 233.67 high.
