A 12.35% drop to $521.85 from a $595.40 open erases roughly $6 billion from one of the most heavily owned AI optics names. Moves this size are rare here, and no company announcement explains it yet.
Latest Activity
IDEXX Laboratories closed up 21.88%, the single largest move in a 383-name universe. Lumentum and Marvell sat at the other end of the session.
The 12.2% drop lands the same day Lumentum posted a Q1 FY2027 earnings beat alongside a no-premium Marvell deal, putting the merger terms in front of the results for holders. Moves this size are rare for a $63.6 billion name.
IDEXX Laboratories opened 16.33% higher, the largest single move across a 380-stock priority universe today. Lumentum anchors the other end, with Oracle and Marvell also lower.
Management is framing the $115 billion all-stock Lumentum deal as a top-five AI silicon franchise, which sets the bar both stocks will be judged against after their selloff on the announcement.

A second major NPO/CPO design win carries more than $5 billion in purchase commitments, and Lumentum says optoelectronic capacity is effectively sold out. EPS topped expectations, and guidance points to higher revenue next quarter.
Optical and chip names owned the close, with Lumentum up 8.21% to $818.26 and Coherent, Applied Optoelectronics and Arm all gaining more than 5%. Both Petrobras lines sat at the bottom, the preferred shares down 15.6%.
Moderna's 17.8% drop was the single biggest move at Tuesday's close, and four of the five worst performers were chip and photonics names. Spotify topped the winners.
The optical names took the worst of it at the close, with Ciena down 10.49% and Lumentum and Applied Optoelectronics close behind. Shopify's gain led a much tamer move on the other side of the 382-stock board.
C3.ai is up 9.97% at the open, leading a board where ServiceNow, Salesforce, Shopify and Intuit all gained 3.5% or more. Applied Optoelectronics is down 6% on the other end of the same board.
