Celestica put up a strong quarter, with revenue up 83%, networking up 23% from the prior quarter on hyperscale switch programs, and a first look at 2027 of $40 billion versus $21 billion this year. The sequence stands out though. $Lumentum(LITE)$ ran 9%, $Coherent(COHR)$ 6%, and $AXT Inc(AXTI)$ 8% during the day before the number even came out, while Celestica itself slid 5%. After hours it jumped about 10%, with $Celestica(CLS)$ finally catching up to its own suppliers. Investor Day is at 8 AM, so the question is whether there's real follow through in $Applie
$Lumentum(LITE)$ Up 10.6% to 836.16, bounced hard off 756.00 but still well below the 20-day at 949.50. Holding 800 puts 878.90 in play next; losing it would mean the bounce loses steam.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ Nice to see this catch a bid. Was a little worried about my average cost there for a bit. Now hoping for a continuation through midterms and earnings. 1200 perhaps? We'll see. Would help if 47 keeps his yap closed and doesn't ruffle anything further.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ Lumentum Holdings shares moved higher in early trading after StoneX initiated coverage on the photonics and optical components company with a buy rating and a $1,200 price target. The new coverage adds to what is already a largely positive view from Wall Street analysts, with Lumentum currently holding 22 buy ratings.
Options flow is showing selective bullish positioning, mostly concentrated in AI, tech, and earnings-related setups. $Lumentum(LITE)$ has $2.79M in repeated call buying expiring October 30. The weekly alignment looks strong, which makes it one of the clearer short-term bullish signals in the flow. $Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ shows $4.69M in October 30 $630 calls. That's aggressive positioning ahead of October 27 earnings. $Accenture PLC(ACN)$ has $543K in call buying, just 2% OTM, with four aligned bullish trades over the past week. $Alphabet(GOOG)$ shows $451K in November calls at 3% OTM. Bullish
$Fabrinet(FN)$ Basically the factory floor for $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , $Lumentum(LITE)$ , and COHR. No matter who wins the AI optics race, the money still flows through their assembly lines. A debt-free monopoly growing 40% a year at around 17.5x forward P/E after this washout looks like a gift ahead of the Nov 2 earnings.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ WDC beat and raised guidance, but the stock is getting hit over product-related questions. This kind of noise probably won't be an issue when LITE reports in two weeks.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ It's the broader AI and chip trade moving together, not something specific to LITE. Just needs some patience. When it bounces back, a lot of smart people are going to do well.
