Aeluma, Inc.
Information Technology · Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment
Aeluma sits at the intersection of two secular growth waves - III-V photonics and AI-driven sensing. Its InP/GaAs-based photodetector technology offers performance advantages over silicon CMOS for LiDAR and AR/VR sensing, markets projected to grow rapidly through the decade.
A successful design win with a Tier-1 consumer electronics or automotive OEM could transform the revenue base from ~$5M TTM to hundreds of millions. The stock trades at a speculative premium (P/S ~88x) that already prices in breakthrough execution, making it a high-risk/high-reward call option on photonics adoption.
Aeluma is deeply pre-scale with -115% profit margins and minimal revenue, fully dependent on external capital and OEM design-win cycles that can stretch years. Competing against entrenched players (II-VI/Coherent, ams OSRAM, Sony Semicon) with far deeper manufacturing and customer relationships is a steep climb.
Execution risk is extreme: any delay in design wins, a technology pivot by a potential anchor customer, or a dilutive capital raise could severely impair the share price from current elevated levels.
