Lumentum's stock plummeted 5.07% during intraday trading on Monday, as the optical communications company was caught in a broader tech sector decline.
The sell-off was triggered by heightened geopolitical tensions after US President Donald Trump ordered a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, following the collapse of weekend peace talks with Iran. This development sparked risk aversion among investors, leading to a downturn in technology stocks, including optical communication companies like Lumentum.
Market analysts noted that such geopolitical events often lead to volatility in tech-heavy sectors due to concerns over global supply chains and economic stability.
