The thesis — published August 18, 2025
Lumentum looks set for a short-term recovery after a sharp pullback. Sales rose 21 percent in FY25 and profit per share beat expectations, and Bank of America lifted its target to 135 on Aug 16. Trading signs suggest more buyers are stepping in than usual and the recent average price is turning up. With interest in optics steadying, a 3 month plan aims to catch an early revaluation while staying mindful of post-earnings ups and downs.

- Recent drop, but recent average price is turning up; could see a bounce
