Coherent ( COHR ), which produces components used in data centers, saw its stock jump close to 7%, while shares of server maker Supermicro ( SMCI ) and Amphenol ( APH ), which makes copper cables for Nvidia, added close to 6%. Nvidia shares edged about 2% higher.
Corning ( GLW ), Lumentum ( LITE ), and Fabrinet ( FN ) shares climbed as well, with JPMorgan analysts telling clients the companies could be poised for growth as Nvidia's clients scale their artificial intelligence capabilities.

Wedbush analysts said they expect strong demand for Nvidia's chips could have a "ripple impact,” estimating that for every $1 spent on an Nvidia chip there could be a $8 to $10 multiplier "across the tech ecosystem with the hyperscalers, software, data center buildouts, cyber security, and energy demand all benefiting.”
