@TradexWhisperer The bear case is around CXMT will use the ipo money to take share of the mobile and PC market. By then after data centre peak, MU will have less market share.
Lumentum $LITE
LITE (Lumentum) latest Q3 FY2026 results can be summarized as: "Strong earnings and guidance, revenue slightly below expectations, stock price retracing due to overly high expectations."
Revenue increased by approximately 90% year-on-year, non-GAAP EPS was higher than expected, and Q4 guidance is also significantly higher than market expectations. However, the market has already priced in the demand for AI optical communications very aggressively.
Mainstream investment banks/market views are generally positive but not unconditionally bullish. Simply put, while LITE's AI optical communication demand and upward earnings revisions are recognized, the current major points of contention are the valuation gap, expectation bias, reliance on a single large customer, and the fact that the stock price has already largely reflected the positive news.
My Perspective
I position LITE as a "High Beta AI Optical Communication Beneficiary Stock." Fundamentals are accelerating, but stock performance will highly depend on whether they can continue to "beat and raise" every quarter.
I will focus on tracking these four key indicators:
1.Whether Q4 revenue reaches the guidance of $960M โ $1.01B.
2.Whether the non-GAAP gross margin can maintain near or above 47.9%.
3.Whether AI cloud customer orders continue to follow through.
4.Whether analysts continue to revise up FY2027 EPS.
LITE will be added to Nasdaq-100 on May 18.
Most analyses I read on tariffs & associated news flow are very bad and lack very basic critical sense. We published an analysis for our clients on Friday. Give this post a thousand likes and a thousand reposts, and weโll make it available to all on X tomorrow.
