JPMorgan reaches 6.90 percent

According to finanzen.net on September 24, 2026, JPMorgan reported a 6.90 percent position in Adtran Networks, compared with 3.71 percent previously. The disclosure identifies J.P. Morgan Securities plc as the shareholder holding at least 3 percent of voting rights.

The announcement is a measurable ownership change rather than an earnings forecast. For investors, the key comparison is the increase of 3.19 percentage points in reported voting rights, while the stock remained below the EUR 23.20 52-week high cited in September market data.

Q2 revenue rises to EUR 133.4 million

Adtran Networks reported Q2 2026 revenue of EUR 133.4 million, up 21.6 percent from Q2 2025, while pro forma EBIT improved to EUR 4.4 million from a EUR 7.4 million loss. Lightyear attributes the operating rebound to stronger optical networking revenue, improved gross profitability and cost discipline.

The recovery has not yet eliminated the accounting pressure. In the first six months of 2026, Adtran Networks posted a EUR 0.3 million IFRS operating loss and a EUR 2.8 million net loss, despite the positive pro forma EBIT reported for the second quarter.

Cash conversion remains decisive

Lightyear reported first-half revenue growth of 10.3 percent in EMEA and 25.5 percent in the Americas. The same review put net cash at EUR 31.8 million at the end of June, while operating cash flow declined 23.2 percent year over year, making cash conversion an important counterweight to the operating recovery.

Stock remains near the yearly range

Adtran Networks shares stood at EUR 21.80 on Xetra on September 24, 2026, with a daily change of minus 0.46 percent. The EUR 1.2 billion market capitalization cited in September market data places the ownership disclosure and the Q2 recovery in the context of a mid-cap optical networking company.
