Why POET Technologies Is Back in Focus

POET Technologies (NasdaqCM:POET) is back under the spotlight after Jim Cramer warned about stretched semiconductor rallies and the company’s partnership talks with Marvell Technologies collapsed, sending the stock into a sharp pullback.

Recent trading tells a story of enthusiasm fading. POET Technologies has a 7 day share price return of 6.19%, yet the 30 day share price return is down 26.21% and the year to date share price return is down 20.95%. The 3 year total shareholder return remains very large, underlining how quickly sentiment has swung as the failed Marvell talks reset expectations around future growth and risk.

Most Popular Narrative: 62% Undervalued

POET Technologies closed at $5.66, while the most followed narrative pegs fair value at $14.75. The gap between price and expectations is wide and heavily tied to a very ambitious production ramp.

The planned transition from limited output to high volume manufacturing of 800G optical engines starting in the second half of 2026, with a target of up to 1 million units per month by the end of 2027, could materially scale POET Technologies’ revenue base and improve fixed cost absorption in margins.
