• Negative Sentiment: Potential deal dilution and valuation risk: Lumentum’s market value has surged to roughly $83 billion, and reports indicate a potential all-stock transaction.

The market’s negative reaction reflects uncertainty over whether the acquisition would be earnings-accretive. TheStreet analysis of the proposed deal
• Negative Sentiment: Sector-wide AI spending concerns: Weakness across Broadcom, Qualcomm, Arm, Lumentum, Coherent, and other optics suppliers suggests investors are reassessing the pace and returns of hyperscaler AI infrastructure spending.
