Optical Cable: A Better Business, But No Longer A Bargain

Summary Optical Cable Corporation has accelerated revenue growth and visible operating leverage, driven by rising data center demand and a surging backlog. OCC’s focus on Tier 2 data centers and enterprise networks, rather than hyperscale projects, diversifies its growth drivers beyond the AI narrative. Gross margin expansion and stable SG&A have enabled OCC to deliver its highest quarterly EBIT in years, validating sustainable profitability improvements. After a nearly 300% YTD rally, OCC’s valuation reflects much of its operational progress; I maintain a Hold rating due to limited upside and low margin for error.
