They’re not producing this stuff at scale.”He continued: “The stock’s trading like they’re already in mass production, and that bothers me. Just look at the numbers. POET’s financials make it look more of a science project than a business.”Cramer highlighted the substantial gap between laboratory-stage innovation and full-scale commercial manufacturing as the primary risk factor investors should carefully consider.POET’s current confirmed status: orders from Marvell secured, Foxconn and Luxshare responses awaited, Q3 shipment timeline established.The post POET Technologies (POET) Stock Soars Over 100% Following Marvell Partnership Announcement appeared first on Blockonomi.
