POET Technologies stock hit a high of $15.50 Friday before closing at $15.10, a daily gain of 28.84%. The week-on-week move was 108%, the highest level for the stock since August 2014.

POET Technologies Inc., POET

The catalyst was a confirmed supply deal with Marvell Technology. CFO Thomas Mika said on Stocktwits that POET had officially secured orders from Marvell for its 800G optical engines.

Mika said the orders are expected to push POET’s total 2025 order book past $5 million. Deliveries are targeted to begin in Q3 of this year.

The stock’s year-to-date gain now stands at 138.55%, and its current market cap sits at $2.31 billion.

The Pullback

The early spike drew in momentum traders, which helped push the stock to its intraday high. But once profit-taking began, the move reversed sharply.

A short squeeze added fuel to both the upswing and the drop. Heavy trading volume — average daily volume is over 13.7 million — amplified the swings in both directions.

Management also moved to dismiss an earlier short-seller report during the week. Plans for a U.S. redomiciling briefly lifted sentiment, but that enthusiasm faded without further news.

Analyst price targets were not materially revised following Friday’s move. The stock’s technical sentiment signal remains a buy.

Cramer Weighs In

Jim Cramer, former hedge fund manager and host of Mad Money, urged caution on POET.

Cramer pointed to the gap between lab-level technology and commercial-scale manufacturing as the key risk investors need to weigh.

POET’s most recent confirmed position: orders from Marvell locked in, Foxconn and Luxshare decisions still pending, Q3 delivery window targeted.
