Poet shareholders recently got some great news
Earlier this week, Poet CFO Thomas Mika conducted an interview with Stocktwits in which he confirmed that his company had received a purchase order from Celestial AI. While the interview didn't directly confirm an order for Marvell, the tech hardware specialist completed its acquisition of Celestial AI in February -- so Mika's comments were effectively a confirmation that Poet's fiber-optics tech is being integrated into Marvell's artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem.

Key Data Points
What's next for Poet?
Mika confirmed that the purchase order from Celestial AI now exceeds the $5 million level that was previously disclosed. Ramping demand is a very positive indicator as the company proceeds with commercialization scaling initiatives this year, and confirmation that Marvell is using Poet's tech is a very promising development. With Marvell and Nvidia recently strengthening their partnership, it's possible Poet could see knock-on benefits that allow for the business to scale at a dramatic pace.
