On August 19, Lumentum rose 3.06% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $901.9 per share, with turnover of $67.83 million. The stock is recovering after plunging roughly 10% in the prior session alongside the broader AI hardware sector.
The previous day's selloff was triggered by a confluence of negative factors including surging US Treasury yields, concerns over an AI infrastructure financing bubble, and slowing revenue growth at OpenAI, which collectively pressured AI-related hardware names. Today, the communication equipment sector is seeing a broad-based recovery, with Applied Optoelectronics up 5.85%, Nokia up 3.77%, Ciena up 3.12%, Arista Networks up 0.82%, and Cisco up 0.62%.
On the fundamental front, Lumentum reported blowout fiscal Q4 results on August 11, with revenue surging 109% year-over-year to $10.1 billion, non-GAAP EPS rising 267% to $3.23, and gross margins breaking above 50%. The company's fiscal Q1 revenue guidance midpoint of $12.5 billion exceeded market expectations by approximately 8%, with multiple investment banks subsequently raising price targets.
