Why Investors Were Piling Into Applied Optoelectronics Stock This Week
The company's equity has 22% upside potential, if an analyst's new take is accurate. That's believable, as it is a supplier to a critical segment of the tech industry. 10 stocks we like better than Applied Optoelectronics › Applied Optoelectronics (NASDAQ: AAOI) stock was the beneficiary of an analyst's price target raise over the course of the week, so it was little wonder the shares were doing well. According to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, they were trading more than 18% higher week to date as of very early Friday morning. Mike Genovese of Rosenblatt upped his fair value assessment on Applied stock to $34 per share from his previous level of $30. In doing so, he maintained his existing buy recommendation. At the new price target, Genovese is predicting the stock will appreciate by more than 22% over its current price. According to reports, the analyst is confident that the company will continue to grow key fundamentals, even though he expressed doubt it would hit the consensus revenue estimate of $120 million for its third quarter. He feels that 2026 in general will be a better year for Applied, as he envisions the company's gross and operating margins will come in better than generally expected. Genovese's latest take on the stock came barely one week after Applied delivered some encouraging news about its financing. Last Wednesday after market close, the company divulged in a regulatory filing that it had secured a one-year credit facility with China Construction Bank for 96.8 million yuan ($13.7 million), which is to be used to retire outstanding indebtedness. Applied is a busy supplier of optical components to data centers, which as a group is a hot area for growth just now thanks to the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. Given that, I wouldn't be surprised if the current revenue expectations for the company are surpassed. This stock might just be a fine, somewhat sideways, play on the AI revolution.

What You Should Know About T9 Dialing on Your iPhone Before iOS 26
Apple announced on June 9 at its Worldwide Developers Conference that the next version of the iPhone's operating system will be called iOS 26. The tech giant said that update will bring a transparent glass design to icons and menus and much more to your iPhone this fall. But when Apple released iOS 18 in 2024, the tech giant brought T9 dialing to all iPhones. With T9 dialing, you can call someone just by typing their name into your iPhone's Phone app. That means with iOS 18, you don't have to search for a person's name in your contacts, or use Messages, to call them. Read more: Everything Apple Announced at WWDC Here's everything you need to know about T9 dialing and how to use it on your iPhone. What exactly is T9 dialing? T9 stands for text on nine keys. Before cellphones had full keyboards, many phones had 12 keys. These were for the numbers zero to nine, star and the pound sign or hashtag. I felt old just writing that. And to text someone, you mostly used the nine numbered keys. Each numbered key had either three or four corresponding letters attached to it, with the zero key being the spacebar and the one key blank. If you go into your Phone app and tap Keypad across the bottom of your screen, you can see the corresponding numbers and letters there. At first, if you wanted to type "hello" you had to press 44(H)-33(E)-555(L)-555(L)-666(0). That's a lot of typing for one fairly short word. T9 texting was introduced as an early form of predictive typing. It lets you press fewer keys and send messages faster. So for "hello" you'd type 4-3-5-5-6. Much easier. Getty Images How to use T9 dialing on iPhone With iOS 18, you can now use T9 dialing to make calls. Here's how. 1. Open your Call app on your iPhone. 2. Tap Keypad at the bottom of the screen. From here, start typing the name of the person you want to call using the principles of T9. So if you want to call dad, you'd type 3-2-3 into your keypad, and for mom, you'd type 6-6-6, but nothing to be freaked out about, promise. Their name should appear across the top of the screen. As you type, a backspace button will appear beneath the pound sign/hashtag if you make a mistake. Press that as many times as needed. Note there is no space button. Once you find the person, tap their name and their phone number will automatically be entered. Then hit the green call button, and you're set. That is not his real number. Apple/CNET If there is more than one person in your Contacts app by a given name, as you type you'll see an option beneath the top result that says something like "3 more…" Tap that to open a new menu with all the corresponding contacts. Then tap the call button next to the correct contact and your call will immediately start. Be prepared to explain why you're calling the other person and not just texting them. For more on iOS 18, here's what you need to know about iOS 18.5 and iOS 18.4, as well as our iOS 18 cheat sheet. You can also check out what you should know about iOS 26.
