Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Lumentum Holdings Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target price by $100 to $1,100, applying an EV/EBITDA multiple of 34.9x to our FY 27 estimate, a slight premium to its five-year historical average multiple at 31.9x. We increase our FY 26 EPS estimate by $0.45 to $8.24 and raise FY 27's by $2.21 to $18.05. LITE expects to set another quarterly revenue record in Q4, with over half the sequential growth anticipated from components and the remainder from systems, especially high-speed transceivers and OCS. LITE experienced significant supply-demand imbalances across multiple product lines, particularly for EMLs, pump lasers, and transceivers. Supply constraints were reported as even higher than previously disclosed, with shortages resulting in undershipping of customer demand and necessitating difficult allocation decisions among customers. In addition, certain manufacturing facilities remain underutilized, although initiatives are in place to improve utilization and margin contributions from these sites.

Lumentum Shows 'Standout' Pricing Power, Morgan Stanley Says

Lumentum's (LITE) pricing power continues to be a "standout" after it posted fiscal Q3 gross margins over 350 basis points above expectations, Morgan Stanley said in a Wednesday note.The firm can leverage its position in the market for electro-absorption modulated lasers and pump lasers, specifically by raising prices during tight conditions, the note said."With demand for product continuing to grow, that sets the stock up to maintain bull case valuation in the near term, as pricing power is unlikely to ease," the report said."This is even before we have really seen the ramp of optical circuit switching (OCS) and co-packaged optics (CPO), which don't become more material until later in the year," it added.Still, the note said some "digestion" would be healthy following the recent strong performance of its shares.Morgan Stanley raised its price target to $900 from $710 while keeping its equal-weight rating.Price: $935.74, Change: $-58.82, Percent Change: -5.91%

Research Alert: Lite Tops Estimates Amid Ai Data Center Boom, Record Revenue, Margin Expansion

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Lumentum delivered exceptional Q3 FY26 results with record revenue of $808.4M (+21.5% Q/Q, +90.1% Y/Y) and non-GAAP EPS of $2.37, demonstrating remarkable operating leverage. Non-GAAP operating margins expanded 700 bps Q/Q to 32.2%, validating management's scaling strategy to meet hyperscaler demand. Both Components ($533.3M, +20.2% Q/Q) and Systems ($275.1M, +24.0% Q/Q) segments delivered robust growth, reflecting comprehensive positioning across AI infrastructure. Management's optimistic Q4 guidance signals sustained momentum with revenue midpoint of $985M (~22% Q/Q growth) and operating margins expanding to 35.0%-36.0%. The company remains sold out with significant supply-demand imbalance, undershipping customer demand by ~30% despite 40% capacity expansion progress. We believe the scalability of Lumentum's photonics platform positions it well to capitalize on AI buildout, with all EML capacity covered by LTAs through 2027 providing revenue visibility and pricing stability.
