AI-driven demand for optical connectivity doubled Lumentum Holdings' business, with Q4 2026 revenue of $1.01 billion, up 109% year over year across both segments.
Adjusted EPS of $3.23 came in ahead of expectations, and non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 50.4%, showing the revenue surge is reaching profitability rather than being consumed by costs.
