The company set another marker for investors on Wednesday, revealing plans for a briefing at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC) in Los Angeles.

Tradr ETFs this week rolled out a single-stock leveraged ETF linked to Lumentum, named the Tradr 2X Long LITE Daily ETF (LITX), now trading on Cboe. Designed to offer twice the daily move of the stock, this daily-reset product can magnify gains and losses alike. Matt Markiewicz from Tradr described it as a way to provide traders with “high conviction tools.” (PR Newswire)
Optics and networking stocks mostly climbed during the session. Coherent added around 3.3%, Ciena advanced about 4%, and Applied Optoelectronics surged close to 21%. Credo Technology, however, saw little movement.
Markets are shut today, leaving the immediate focus on whether Thursday sparks more buying or a pause after the recent rally. Investors will also watch for clues from broader tech earnings and capex comments, which often send ripples through the optical supply chain.
The danger lies in expectations outpacing the fundamentals. A weaker outlook or any hint of fluctuating demand quarter to quarter can swiftly drag down a high-momentum stock. Leveraged products only amplify these sharp moves around major events.
San Jose’s Lumentum produces optical and photonic components for telecom, enterprise, and data-center networks. The company also markets lasers geared toward industrial uses.
Investors will next eye the Feb. 3 earnings report, which drops after the bell. Then, management will hold its investor briefing at OFC on March 17.
