Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 20 days.
The thesis — published August 16, 2025
Lumentum's sales rose 56% and beat expectations, and a major bank lifted its target to 135. Yet the stock still looks beaten down. Early signs show buyers returning and the recent average price edging higher. Demand from data centers and AI should help. A slump in similar companies likely pushed this one too low. Over the next 3 months, steady orders and analyst support could guide shares back toward past ranges.
Primary drivers
- Sales rose 56% from last year, signaling demand is rebounding faster than expected.
- BofA raised its price goal to 135, adding confidence and drawing new attention.
- Shares look beaten down; early positive turn and more buyers than usual are showing.
- Growing data center and AI needs should lift demand for the company's optical parts.
