On August 4, Lumentum rose 3.08% overnight, trading at $802.2/share, with turnover of $22.15 million.
On the news front, the company is scheduled to report quarterly results after market close on August 11. The consensus estimate projects revenue of approximately $9.88 billion, representing a 111.83% year-over-year increase, while adjusted earnings per share are expected at $2.97, up 271.06% YoY. The core growth drivers are attributed to sustained shipments of high-end components and an upgraded product mix lifting average selling prices.
The overnight rebound follows a 4.1% decline in the prior session, when momentum stock forced liquidation and insider selling of approximately $38.86 million over the past three months weighed on sentiment across the optical communications sector. The broader sector showed signs of recovery, with Applied Optoelectronics up over 9% and Coherent up over 5% during the session. Barclays previously upgraded Lumentum to Overweight with a $1,000 target price, citing the company's pricing power amid supply chain shortages in core laser components.
