Lumentum Holdings set to beat estimates on Nov. 5 as optical demand surges

Context & Analysis

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.
