Optical chipmaker POET Technologies (POET) recently saw its momentum take a sharp turn this week, feeling less like a gradual pullback and more like the floor suddenly giving way. Just days after riding a stretch of optimism amid its links with Marvell Technology (MRVL) and even whispers around Nvidia’s (NVDA) ecosystem, the POET stock was cut in half.
This was triggered after Marvell canceled purchase orders that once connected POET to Celestial AI, now under Marvell’s umbrella after a $3.25 billion acquisition. The explanation came quickly, but it didn’t soften the blow. Marvell cited confidentiality concerns, leading it to cancel orders linked to sensitive information disclosures.
