On July 21, Lumentum Holdings rose 7.26% in regular trading, trading at $804.99/share, with turnover of $257 million.
On the news front, Barclays upgraded Lumentum from Equal Weight to Overweight with a $1,000 price target, citing the company's dominant position in core laser components for optical networking modules. JPMorgan had previously raised its target from $1,130 to $1,165, maintaining an Overweight rating. The analyst consensus target stands at approximately $1,126.
Barclays noted that amid supply chain shortages unlikely to ease in the near term, Lumentum holds strong pricing power supporting product ASPs and margin expansion. The firm's gross margin has improved by 13 percentage points over the past year. Additionally, TSMC executives stated that AI is driving a long-term structural demand explosion, continuing to boost sentiment across the optical communications supply chain.
The stock had corrected over 30% from its May highs prior to this rally, with multiple positive catalysts converging to drive a technical rebound from oversold levels.
