Lumentum is trading 10.05% up now at $969.84 after management commentary reinforced expectations for accelerating AI-optics demand.

  • CEO Michael Hurlston said Lumentum targets roughly $40 in 2028 earnings power, above current sell-side estimates.
  • The outlook is supported by stronger optical circuit-switching demand and broader optical adoption.
  • Broader U.S. markets are lower on September 8, 2026, suggesting company-specific enthusiasm is driving the advance.
