“White-Haired Stock God” Serenity: Jabil May Be Undervalued by the Market, AI Optical Module Business Could Drive a 40% Valuation Revaluation Upside
Odaily reported that “White-Haired Stock God” Serenity posted on platform X, stating that Jabil (JBL), currently with a market cap of approximately $38 billion, represents an attractive long-term investment opportunity. The market may not have fully priced in the potential value of its 1.6T LRO pluggable optical module business.
By the first half of 2027, the industry bottleneck may no longer be insufficient demand, but rather the production capacity limitations of key upstream supplier SIVE. In this context, leveraging its mature global supply chain system and the advantage of taking over Intel's (INTC) pluggable optical module production line, Jabil is well-positioned to benefit from the demand growth driven by AI infrastructure construction. Compared to Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI), which relies on continuous capital expenditure to expand laser factories, if SIVE and multiple foundries including Win Semi achieve mass production of lasers, Jabil's backend manufacturing and integration model will prove more scalable.
Serenity stated that Jabil currently possesses a supply chain system validated by hyperscale cloud service providers, exhibiting a growth trajectory similar to that of Innolight, while also enjoying a valuation premium in the US market. He expects that as the market gradually recognizes the relevant opportunities by the first half of 2027, Jabil has approximately 40% room for valuation revaluation. However, he emphasized that he currently holds no positions and is merely sharing research ideas for investors' reference.
