Wait, so OpenAI hits $50B ARR (not the inflated $70B from bad Anthropic comps) and suddenly everyone thinks the laser shortage at $AAOI and memory crunch at $MU just… disappear?
Spoiler: They don't.
One company's revenue milestone doesn't magically fix 3-5 year supply chain bottlenecks in optical components or DRAM/NAND capacity. If anything, higher AI workloads mean *more* demand for lasers (data center interconnects) and memory (GPU bandwidth, training clusters).
Market's confusing a headline with actual supply-side relief. Classic case of narrative over fundamentals.
