What happened
Lumentum Holdings will report fiscal 2027 first-quarter results after the market closes on Nov. 5. Analysts expect revenue of $1.25 billion (up 135% year over year) and adjusted EPS of $4.22 (up 284%), both within the company's guidance range.
Why it matters
If Lumentum beats those estimates, it could fuel a sharp stock move given the company's leverage to surging optical networking demand, which is pushing up prices and margins.

While Nvidia and AMD dominate headlines, Lumentum is a key AI infrastructure player that could surprise investors. Optical networking components are in high demand because AI chips need rapid data access, and supply shortages are pushing prices up, boosting Lumentum's margins. The company's CEO noted on the August earnings call that profitability across transceiver lines is improving due to yield gains and the initial rollout of higher-priced 1.6T transceivers. With the stock down 19% from its October high, now is a good time to buy ahead of the earnings report.
