    Selected AI-infrastructure names have pulled back: Vertiv, Applied Optoelectronics, Innodata flagged

    Question

    Selected AI-infrastructure names have pulled back: Vertiv, Applied Optoelectronics, Innodata flagged

    Direct answer

    A report highlights three AI-infrastructure related stocks - Vertiv, Applied Optoelectronics, and Innodata - that have retraced from 2026 highs despite ongoing demand for datacenter power, cooling, and optical connectivity. The piece argues that the companies maintain structural demand drivers even after share-price pullbacks, though each faces idiosyncratic execution risk. For semiconductor portfolio exposure, weakening sector-infrastructure sentiment can temporarily pressure equipment vendors and tier-1 suppliers tied to AI data-center buildouts.
