    Fabrinet (FN): The AI Networking Stock Your Screener Can't Find

    $FN makes the optical transceivers that let AI GPU clusters talk to each other. Zero debt, 17.2% ROIC, 97th percentile vs peers. Nobody's covering this moat seriously. FCF is thin at 2.6% of sales, but that's $1.5B+ in active capacity builds showing up as capex, not earnings. The cash machine is being constructed right now. Blended Fair value: $399.87. Analyst growth-adjusted range: $540-590. The gap between those numbers is the entire bull/bear debate. Know which one you're betting on. Consensus 5Y EPS growth estimate of 6.2% vs a stock at 34x forward earnings is the central tension. Analysts underestimated FN for 2 straight years. That streak ends or the multiple does. Beta 3Y: 1.88. Volatility 1Y: 61%. This is not a sleepy compounder. Size it at 2-3% max. Accumulate Zone: $480-$520. Strong Buy: sub-$430.
