Lumentum's Massive Run Now Faces A Reality Check
Lumentum (LITE) delivered $665.5M revenue in Q2 FY26 and guided $780–830M next quarter, signaling accelerating AI infrastructure demand and pricing power. Nvidia invested $2B with multi-year supply commitments, confirming lasers and optics are becoming strategic AI infrastructure rather than optional components. Optical circuit switches backlog exceeds $400M with shipments expected in late-2026, creating a new high-margin growth engine beyond transceivers.
