Halma's Environmental and Analysis unit sales can surge more than 20% in fiscal 2026 as demand from an unidentified US hyperscaler powers expansion at the Avo Photonics subsidiary. The adoption of photonics -- the science that harnesses the properties of light -- to address low latency at data centers underpins consensus profit upgrades at the unit.

Four announcements in one week. Not for headlines but for the industry momentum. 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲: 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐨𝐬𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨. This isn’t just about tighter integration. It’s about how we believe this industry should be built. Photonics design has been too fragmented - layout, simulation, and manufacturing living in separate worlds. That doesn’t scale for what’s coming. With this connector with Cadence, engineers can move directly between #Virtuoso and #PhotonForge - design, simulate, iterate - in one continuous loop, aligned with real process constraints. The bigger idea is simple: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞. We’re building toward an open, connected ecosystem across #EDA, #foundries, and #simulation because that’s what it will take to scale this technology for AI infrastructure and beyond. Better tools matter. Better alignment across the industry matters more. Proud of the team Prashanta Kharel, PhD, and grateful to partners like Cadence GlobalFoundriesTSMC who share this direction. #Photonics #EDA #SiliconPhotonics #OpenEcosystem #AIInfrastructure #Engineering

Some of the most enduring technology companies in the US were built on the back of deep academia-led innovation, paired with long-term private capital - especially in areas like semiconductors. That combination created not just companies, but entire industries. We’re beginning to see a similar model take shape in India, and AGNIT is a strong example of that in action. Built on 15+ years of research at IISc, the company brings together a world-class patent portfolio, deep process know-how, and an exceptional founding team that understands the full stack from materials to devices. It’s rare to see this combination of science, IP, and execution come together so tightly. Excited to be part of this journey alongside the team.
