  • The CEO is participating in a U.S. business delegation to China aimed at unblocking indium phosphide exports, which are vital for AI data center optics.
  • The diplomatic outreach is easing regulatory overhang and supporting a rebound in the share price following recent market volatility.
  • Analysts view the potential resolution of these licensing issues as a significant tailwind for the company's AI-related supply chain stability.
