Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openLumentum's Q4 revenue jumped 109% to just over $1 billion, with profit margin (gross margin) reaching 50.4%, well ahead of when management had expected that level. Growth is being driven by optical circuit switches (gear that routes fiber-optic signals between data center connections without converting them to electrical), 1.6T transceivers (next-generation 1.6 terabit-per-second optical modules for data centers), co-packaged optics (putting optical components directly on the same chip package as a switch, boosting speed and cutting power use), and external laser sources, with demand running above capacity through 2027-2028.
The article compares three AI winners, including Lumentum, and explains that Lumentum makes the lasers and optical parts that move data between AI chips. The company reported $1.01 billion in revenue for Q4 of fiscal 2026, more than double the year before, with margins expanding because its factories are running at full capacity and operational efficiencies are improving.
Sanford C. Bernstein began covering Lumentum (LITE) on Wednesday with an 'Outperform' rating and a $1,220 price target. The article is cut off before finishing, so only limited detail is available.
A Lumentum insider named Yuen Wupen sold 500 shares for $948.50 each on September 28th, totaling about $474,250, reducing their stake by 0.46%.
An analyst rates Lumentum (LITE) a speculative Buy, citing the company's expertise in optical components, a multi-billion dollar purchase commitment from Nvidia along with capacity rights, and expected operating leverage (profits growing faster than revenue) in advanced optical products. The analyst projects earnings per share of $20.50 in fiscal 2027 and $31 in fiscal 2028, but warns the valuation is demanding and growth must hold.
