Fabrinet – Fabrinet: A Tale Of Rapid Growth in Datacom Driven by AI Applications! – Major Drivers

By Baptista Research

  • Fabrinet’s recent earnings included a new record set for second quarter revenue and EPS due to rapid growth in datacom, driven specifically by next-gen AI interconnect, with revenue at $712.7 million, an increase of 7% from the previous year and 4% from the first quarter.
  • However, telecom revenue remained impacted by inventory absorption in the ecosystem – a possible note of concern.
  • The company expects telecom revenue to slightly increase in the third quarter as newer optical communication technologies, like extended reach pluggable optics, have seen increasing demand.

  • The SET50 index tracks the performance of the top 50 largest and most liquid names listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET).
  • In this insight, we take a look at the potential ADDs/DELs for SET during the index rebal event in June 2024.
  • With roughly half of the 3-month reference period now complete, I see three changes for the SET 50 index but one of those names is still close to the border.

Valeura Energy (TSX: VLE): Three exploration wells deliver three discoveries

By Auctus Advisors

  • The Nong Yao-13 exploration well in the new Nong Yao D area that was targeting multiple zones has encountered >30 feet of new oil play across several new shallow intervals which have not been produced elsewhere on the concession.
  • These reservoirs are believed to be recurring across the Nong Yao D area.
  • The drilling result confirms that oil has successfully migrated into this area of the block (a factor that was seen to be a risk in the Nong Yao D area) and open the opportunity for further appraisal and exploration drilling in the vicinity to derisk sufficient volumes to justify a future development.
