On August 25, Lumentum rose 3.21% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $856.94 per share, with turnover of $13.21 million. The optical communication sector staged an oversold rebound following the previous session's systematic selloff, with peers Applied Optoelectronics up 5.61%, Nokia up 3.21%, and Ciena up 2.51%.
The sector had come under heavy pressure on August 24 as the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed to near two-decade highs, squeezing valuations of capital-intensive AI hardware names sensitive to discount rates. Combined with concerns over AI infrastructure spending sustainability and CPO technology roadmap uncertainties, Lumentum fell as much as 5.7% in a single session. The broader rebound appears technically driven as selling pressure eased.
Fundamentally, the company remains well-supported. Its August 11 earnings report showed revenue surging 109% year-over-year to $10.3 billion, with next-quarter guidance midpoint exceeding consensus by approximately 8%. Citi maintains a $1,200 price target while BNP Paribas raised its target to $1,380, reflecting continued confidence in AI-driven optical demand.
