On July 16, Lumentum Holdings fell 3.05% in regular trading, trading at approximately $722.40/share, with turnover of $2.67 billion. The decline came amid a broad selloff across the optical communications sector, with storage chip and optical communication stocks experiencing intensified linked downward pressure.
Within the Communication Equipment sector, peers declined sharply: Corning fell over 7%, POET Technologies dropped over 5%, while Applied Optoelectronics, Coherent, and Astera Labs each fell over 4%. The stock had surged over 12% on July 9 driven by AI computing power catalysts but has since retreated on profit-taking. TD Cowen previously slashed its target price from $995 to $800 while maintaining a Hold rating, adding near-term overhead pressure. Investment bank Stifel noted the AI hardware selloff should be viewed as a valuation reset rather than demand weakness.
Notably, JPMorgan raised its target price from $1,130 to $1,165 maintaining an Overweight rating, and Citibank placed the stock on a 90-day upside catalyst watch list, suggesting divergent institutional views on the medium-term outlook.
