Best Tech Stocks To Invest In Right Now: Applied Optoelectronics, Inc.(AAOI)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Nicholas Rossolillo]

  After doubling in price several times in 2017, shares of optical networking supplier Applied Optoelectronics (NASDAQ:AAOI) reversed course and nearly erased all of those gains through spring 2018. The stock has been showing signs of life as of late, though, notching a nearly 50% gain in May. Investors may be tempted to chase those kinds of returns, but it's important to know a few facts first.

• [By Ezra Schwarzbaum]

  Applied Optoelectronics Inc (NASDAQ: AAOI) was trading up 1.4 percent. The stock was relatively unaffected by the ban, trading down as much as 5.3 percent on April 16 but ultimately ending the day within 1 percent of its previous close.

  Thursday was a largely down day for the stock market, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average taking the biggest hit of the major benchmarks. The global turmoil over trade got a lot closer to home as the U.S. imposed new restrictions that led the Canadian government to issue retaliatory tariffs in response. Yet many broader-based measures of the market fell only slightly, showing that much of what drives the economy isn't as dependent on trade as traditional industrial giants. Good news also sent some key stocks higher. Madrigal Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:MDGL), Brink's (NYSE:BCO), and Applied Optoelectronics (NASDAQ:AAOI) were among the best performers on the day. Here's why they did so well.
