The thesis — published August 27, 2025
Lumentum looks like a leader in fiber optics right now. A Aug 26, 2025 review showed profit up 1,366% and sales up 56%. Zacks kept a #1 rank as forecasts improved (Aug 25, 2025). Buying interest is heavier than usual and the recent average price is firm. Plan entries around $123-$126 to ride a 0-3 month upswing as big data centers boost optical demand. Use tight risk steps since the price already looks full.
