Lumentum (LITE) shares surged 7.05% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, following the company's impressive fiscal third-quarter 2025 financial results and an optimistic fourth-quarter outlook. The optical and photonic products manufacturer's performance exceeded analysts' expectations across multiple metrics, bolstering investor confidence.
In its late Tuesday report, Lumentum announced non-GAAP earnings of $0.57 per diluted share for Q3, significantly outperforming the FactSet analyst consensus of $0.50. The company's net revenue reached $425.2 million, surpassing both the previous year's $366.5 million and the expected $418.1 million. Adding to the positive momentum, Lumentum provided an encouraging Q4 forecast, projecting non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.70 to $0.80 on net revenue between $440 million and $470 million, both ranges exceeding analyst estimates.
Further fueling the stock's rise, JP Morgan raised its target price for Lumentum from $73 to $82, reflecting increased confidence in the company's prospects. The combination of strong current performance, positive forward guidance, and analyst upgrade appears to have catalyzed the substantial pre-market stock price increase, setting a bullish tone for Lumentum as it enters Wednesday's trading session.
