Lumentum stock traded at EUR 535.60 on Lang & Schwarz at 16:42 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026, 11.12% above the Xetra close of Friday, November 6. The latest move follows a strong fiscal first-quarter report and a higher outlook for the next quarter.
On November 2, Lumentum reported fiscal first-quarter revenue of USD 1.2626 billion for the three months ended September 26, 2026. Revenue increased 136.5% from a year earlier and 25.5% from the preceding quarter, according to Lumentum's investor release.
Optical products drive expansion
Components revenue reached USD 754.2 million, while Systems revenue was USD 508.4 million. Lumentum identified pump lasers and optical circuit switches as the leading contributors to growth, with cloud modules also improving on the gross-margin line.
GAAP gross margin rose to 51.0% from 34.0% a year earlier. Non-GAAP gross margin reached 53.2% and non-GAAP operating margin was 42.3%. The adjusted figures exclude stock-based compensation, acquired-intangible amortization and other specified adjustments and therefore complement rather than replace GAAP results.
What changed since the last report
Compared with the EUR 487.85 Lang & Schwarz quote cited in the latest relevant report at 14:04 CET on November 9, the current quote was 9.79% higher. That move alone qualifies as a material new market signal for this second report, separate from the 11.12% comparison with the November 6 Xetra close.
Higher targets set next milestone
For fiscal second-quarter 2027, Lumentum expects revenue of USD 1.575 billion to USD 1.625 billion, non-GAAP operating margin of 45.0% to 46.0% and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of USD 5.90 to USD 6.20. Chief Executive Michael Hurlston also said the company secured a second major near-packaged optics and co-packaged optics win, backed by purchase commitments exceeding USD 5 billion.
