Innolight develops and sells high-speed optical transceiver modules, including 800G and 1.6T, and silicon photonics chips for data-center and AI-cluster interconnects.
Innolight (Zhongji Innolight, SZSE 300308) is the largest optical transceiver maker in the world and the single most important name previously absent from the registry's interconnect coverage. FY2024 revenue RMB 23.86bn (up 122.6 percent), net profit RMB 5.17bn (up 137.9 percent); FY2025 revenue RMB 38.24bn (up 60.3 percent), net profit up 108.8 percent, transceiver gross margin rising 34.65 to 42.61 percent. Q1 2026 was extraordinary: revenue RMB 19.5bn (USD 2.9bn, up 192 percent), net profit RMB 5.7bn (USD 850m, up 262 percent) at a record 46 percent gross margin, that single quarter's profit exceeding all of 2024. Overseas revenue, predominantly North America, is above 86 percent. It shipped roughly 3 million 1.6T units in FY2025 for more than 50 percent global share and locked up around 70 percent of Lumentum's 12-million-unit EML chip capacity; about 35 percent of 800G shipments in 2026. The most diversified of the Chinese three: self-developed silicon photonics chips at 95 percent yield cutting costs 30 percent, 1.6T already shipping on silicon photonics, plus active NPO, CPO and optical circuit switching. Momentum is 4 rather than 5 because it was added to a Pentagon list, and CPO is a structural threat to the pluggable model even if large-scale replacement is seen as distant. Named customers NVIDIA, Google and Microsoft.
