Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 16 days.
The thesis — published August 25, 2025
Lumentum looks early in a bounce tied to demand for AI-related optics. This week it was named a Strong Buy by Zacks, and the company said it is profitable again with strong guidance and sales up 56%, which attracts big investors. The stock has been weak, so buying small on dips near the recent average price makes sense. Wait for clearer upward momentum or a pattern of higher lows to support a possible three-month climb.
Primary drivers
- Back to making profits and shared strong outlook with investors
- Rising need for its optical parts as AI data centers expand
- Price looks beaten down; recent average price trend is edging up
- Consider adding when momentum clearly turns upward
