Lumentum Holdings (ISIN US55024U1097) was trading at USD 1,087.70 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026 at 1:04 p.m. ET, up 0.21 percent from the previous close. The latest fiscal Q4 2026 report showed revenue rising 109.3 percent year over year to USD 1.01 billion, giving the stock a fundamental growth story behind its elevated valuation.

Revenue reaches USD 1.01 billion

According to Zacks on September 21, 2026, Lumentum reported non-GAAP EPS of USD 3.23 for fiscal Q4 2026, exceeding consensus by USD 0.26. The same report said non-GAAP gross margin reached 50.4 percent, up 12.6 percentage points from the year-ago quarter.

The operating picture also improved at scale. Components revenue reached USD 649.4 million, up 102.7 percent year over year, while systems revenue was USD 356.9 million, up 122.6 percent, according to Zacks in the same September 21, 2026 report.

Guidance points to another step up

For fiscal Q1 2027, management guided revenue to USD 1.225 billion-USD 1.275 billion, non-GAAP operating margin to 39.5-40.5 percent and non-GAAP EPS to USD 4.05-USD 4.35. The midpoint of the revenue range is USD 1.25 billion, a clear increase from the USD 1.01 billion reported for the preceding quarter.

Lumentum describes its business as optical and photonic technology for AI infrastructure, cloud computing, communications networks, data centers, industrial manufacturing and sensing. That mix gives the current revenue acceleration a direct connection to high-speed connectivity demand rather than a purely financial rebound.
