Recent market coverage showed Lumentum rising 8.2% and leading the S&P 500, while Ciena gained 4.9%, signaling a broader recovery in the optical communications group. Separate reports said Coherent had previously seen concentrated buying in out-of-the-money long-dated call options, indicating improving upside sentiment.
