$Fabrinet(FN)$ $Lumentum(LITE)$ $Ciena(CIEN)$ Northland is calling Fabrinet a major buying opportunity. The firm points to a raft of positive data points from key customers like Lumentum and Ciena, yet the stock has kept drifting lower.

Northland reiterates an Outperform rating and an $800 price target.

$Coherent(COHR)$ This should move above $330 today. $Lumentum(LITE)$ is already up 5% and this one is up 2.5%, so the setup looks like it's playing out.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ LITE's homepage has their ECOC speaker line-up and presentation outlines up. It's very impressive. Will it cause a pop? Their CTO speaks on Sunday, so we'll see Monday AM. Glad I reloaded on the "AI Slowdown" dip. Total gift.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ The "AI Slowdown" narrative got pushed back at 932. As many of us already knew, it was just another chance to pick up LITE at a discount. Too easy.
