On July 13, Lumentum Holdings fell 3.43% in regular trading, trading at $772.04/share, with turnover of $448 million. The decline was driven by a significant target price cut from TD Cowen and a sector-wide sell-off in optical communications stocks.
TD Cowen slashed its price target on Lumentum from $995 to $800, a reduction of nearly 20%, while maintaining its Hold rating. Despite this downgrade, the stock's consensus analyst rating remains Overweight with a mean target price of $1,135.43 according to FactSet. The broader optical communications sector fell sharply in tandem, with Applied Optoelectronics dropping 7.67%, Nokia down 5.75%, and Coherent declining over 3%.
Investment bank Stifel previously noted that AI hardware market expectations have run ahead of fundamentals, and the recent sell-off should be viewed as a valuation reset rather than demand weakness. Lumentum had surged over 12% on July 9 on AI computing tailwinds, but has since retreated on consecutive sessions as short-term profit-taking pressure intensified.
