Lumentum stock (ISIN US5356781063) fell 5.0 percent to USD 868.95 on September 1, 2026, while the latest quoted market capitalization stood at USD 77.94 billion. GuruFocus also noted a 52-week range from USD 125.00 to USD 1,085.68.
AI optics stays the driver
Recent market commentary links Lumentum to the AI optics supply chain, with one note pointing to a share price around USD 914.76 on August 31, 2026 and a market capitalization near USD 82.05 billion. That same coverage described a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and an average price target of USD 1,047.18.
The comparison is clear: the September 1 close of USD 868.95 sat below that August 31 level of USD 914.76, a gap of USD 45.81 or 5.0 percent. For investors, that leaves the stock tied to both sentiment and the pace of AI-related demand.
Revenue and loss
In fiscal 2026, Lumentum reported USD 3.0 billion in revenue and a USD 6.9 billion net loss, according to a filing summary on StockTitan. That loss is the heavier number in the current report picture, even as the market keeps focusing on the companys role in optical interconnects.
Zacks said the next quarter ending September 2026 carries a consensus estimate of USD 4.23 a share, while the last quarter produced USD 0.57 a share versus a USD 0.50 estimate. That was a 14.0 percent earnings surprise.
Lumentum stock and the latest filing
The filing summary and the market snapshot show how far valuation and reported fundamentals still diverge.
Optical interconnect business
Lumentum's core business is optical and photonic components used in data center and communications networks, which is why AI infrastructure demand keeps surfacing in market commentary. The current debate is less about the product set than about whether that demand can keep matching a valuation that still sits far above the annual revenue base.
Share price and venue
On September 1, 2026, Lumentum stock traded on Nasdaq under the ticker LITE at USD 868.95. The market cap cited in the same market snapshot was USD 77.94 billion.
