On May 19, Lumentum Holdings fell 3.11% in pre-market trading, trading at $860.46/share, with trading volume of approximately $48.84 million. The decline extends a multi-day correction that has accelerated following the company's official inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index on May 18.
The stock has retreated sharply from its all-time high above $1,050 reached in mid-May, driven by broad profit-taking across the optical communications sector. On the Nasdaq 100 inclusion day itself, Lumentum fell over 4% in regular trading as investors locked in gains. The broader sector saw significant selling pressure, with Applied Optoelectronics falling over 10%, Credo Technology and Fabrinet declining over 6%, and Coherent dropping over 5%.
Despite the near-term correction, CITIC Securities maintains a Buy rating on Lumentum with a target price of $1,186, citing the company's strong positioning in EML lasers, co-packaged optics (CPO), and optical circuit switches (OCS), with volume ramp expected in the second half of calendar year 2026.
