The AI's read
Lumentum crushed Q4: revenue +109% YoY, margins jumped, and management said demand for optical circuit switching in 2027 is “incredibly strong.” They are expanding capacity and reporting record shipments of 800G and early 1.6T production. The stock is already up ~9% premarket, but RSI 53 and price is far from a 20-30% stretched run, so the move isn't fully exhausted. Market reaction agrees with the beat, but the core 2027 demand call still looks fresh to me. We lean bullish because AI-driven optical demand, margin expansion, and visible capacity additions create a plausible runway beyond the pop. Main risks are execution on fab expansion and hyperscaler ordering cadence in a choppy market regime.
