$Fabrinet(FN)$ $Lumentum(LITE)$ $Ciena(CIEN)$ Northland is calling Fabrinet a major buying opportunity. The firm points to a raft of positive data points from key customers like Lumentum and Ciena, yet the stock has kept drifting lower. With the broader AI optical space pulling back and some slowdown concerns floating around, they find it ironic that Fabrinet would underperform, especially since they view it as the supplier with the lowest risk profile in that scenario. Northland reiterates an Outperform rating and an $800 price target.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ Estimates for global AI infrastructure spending in 2027 range between $1 trillion and $1.45 trillion, driven by massive data center construction, semiconductor procurement, and specialized hardware demands. Major institutions and financial experts project the following benchmarks for 2027: JPMorgan Chase: CEO Jamie Dimon stated that investment across the artificial intelligence infrastructure ecosystem could reach $1 trillion next year. Morgan Stanley & UBS: Wall Street estimates from firms like Morgan Stanley project a $1.2 trillion to $1.4 trillion boom in AI infrastructure spending, with UBS specifically modeling that global AI capex will hit $1.447 trillion by 2027, driven overwhelmingly by surging memory component co
$Lumentum(LITE)$ Copper is hitting a wall. AI needs more bandwidth than electrons can carry, so the industry is routing around it in light. Every route mapped covers 800G to 3.2T, LPO, CPO, optical I/O, and photonic compute, with the timeline and the names in each. And one input every single route needs is InP lasers. Silicon can't lase.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ LITE tracks MU's moves more closely than it does the Nasdaq and S&P futures. It needs to hold support above 1K, and from there I think it can move higher. Just my opinion.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ This is easily a $1,200 stock here. I think 2026 into 2027 will be much higher. All the figures point to significantly more sales in 2027.
$Coherent(COHR)$ This should move above $330 today. $Lumentum(LITE)$ is already up 5% and this one is up 2.5%, so the setup looks like it's playing out.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ LITE's homepage has their ECOC speaker line-up and presentation outlines up. It's very impressive. Will it cause a pop? Their CTO speaks on Sunday, so we'll see Monday AM. Glad I reloaded on the "AI Slowdown" dip. Total gift.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ The "AI Slowdown" narrative got pushed back at 932. As many of us already knew, it was just another chance to pick up LITE at a discount. Too easy.
$Tower Semiconductor(TSEM)$ looks like an excellent buy in the 190-200 range. Hard to go wrong with this one. It's a quiet sleeper in the optical space, more beaten down than names like $Lumentum(LITE)$ , $Coherent(COHR)$ , and POET. The value here stands out.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ People haven't quite caught on yet that less advanced AI models will actually demand more computing power, not less. LITE and its partners should have moved higher on this "AI slowdown" news.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ I can understand why someone holding a large short position would be pretty nervous here. The technicals are pointing significantly higher in the short term. Once 1035 gets cleared and retested, this could really take off.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ Everyone and their mother is short this one. Could see a squeeze up to 1050-1070. Would be surprised if the shorts get out of this that easily.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ Buy around $830, wait three days, sell around $930, wait three days, buy around $830 again, wait three days... rinse and repeat. Easiest money in the stock market.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ Good news all around, and shorts still have to cover. The climb looks ready to continue, with 1100, then 1200, and eventually $2000 in sight.
$Lumentum(LITE)$ What Lite-On is doing aligns directly with the broader global semiconductor alliance. The partnership framework shows Lite-On is not building a standalone solution; it is using POET Technologies' patented Optical Interposer platform to serve the massive demands of hyperscale data centers. This creates a unified tech standard. Because POET's passive interposer acts as a universal docking station, optical modules built by Lite-On are mechanically and architecturally aligned to plug into the broader ecosystem, meaning they can route data to and from a TSM-fabricated chip, use lasers from Lumentum, and support power hardware designed by NVDA. It is a massive advantage that independent U.S. designer
