News Summary

Positive

Lumentum delivered exceptional Q3 FY2026 results with record $808.4M revenue (+90% YoY) and significant margin expansion (non-GAAP operating margin 32.2%), coupled with a $2B NVIDIA partnership and S&P 500 inclusion. Q4 guidance projects continued strong growth to $960M-$1.01B revenue with 35-36% operating margins, though the company is sold out through end of 2027 and faces supply chain constraints that could limit upside.

Red flags

  • Supply constraints and tariff/export uncertainties creating near-term execution risk
  • Sold out through end of 2027 limits visibility beyond current backlog and creates concentration risk on delivery timelines
  • Executive departures (CAO Matthew Sepe retired Feb 2026, EVP Vincent Retort retiring Oct 2026) during hyper-growth phase may signal talent/retention challenges
  • Heavy dependence on AI/cloud/data center demand concentration—any slowdown in this sector would severely impact growth trajectory

Shares Held and Position Value reflect total quarter-end holdings. ∆ Shares is the change from the prior quarter. % of Fund is the position's share of the fund's reported equity portfolio — it drives the size weighting in the conviction score.

Portfolio Context

Where LITE ranks in each buying fund's book, and the positions immediately around it. What a holding sits next to often says more about the thesis than the position size does.
