On August 25, Lumentum rose 3.04% in regular trading, trading at approximately $857.79/share, with turnover of $3.58 billion. The stock rebounded alongside the broader optical communications sector following a sharp systematic pullback in the prior session.
The recovery was driven by a technical bounce across the optical communications industry after the sector suffered heavy losses on August 24 due to 30-year U.S. Treasury yields climbing to near two-decade highs, which pressured capital-intensive AI hardware names sensitive to discount rates. AI infrastructure bubble concerns further amplified the selloff, with Lumentum previously declining over 5% in a single session. On August 25, peers Applied Optoelectronics rose 4.92%, Nokia gained 3.33%, and Arista Networks advanced 2.10%, indicating broad sector recovery.
Fundamentally, Lumentum remains well-supported. Its August 11 earnings report showed revenue surging 109% year-over-year to $10.3 billion, with next-quarter revenue guidance midpoint exceeding consensus by 8%. Citi maintains a $1,200 target price, while BNP Paribas raised its target to $1,380.
