5 articlesAs AI systems scale, optical networking is emerging as a critical infrastructure layer. Lumentum, which develops optical and photonic technologies for data transmission, is positioned to benefit from this shift. The company reported 90% YoY revenue growth to $808M in Q3 FY2026 and guided for $1B in Q4 revenue. While AI infrastructure stocks have already rallied significantly, optical networking may become foundational to future AI data centers, potentially creating long-term opportunities.
Bond market signals suggest a Fed rate hike is now more likely than not by December 2026, reversing earlier expectations for rate cuts.

AI infrastructure stocks and commodities sold off sharply on Friday as investors repriced risk, with the Nasdaq 100 falling 1.9% in premarket trading.
Lumentum Holdings has surged 169% in 2026 as demand for optical and photonics components critical to AI data centers far outpaces supply.

With optical networking market expected to grow 39% annually to $73 billion by 2030 and component shortages persisting through 2027, analysts project continued strong earnings growth, though the stock trades at a premium 159x current earnings.
A new photonics ETF (EUV) launched on May 6, 2026, focusing on optical interconnect technology for AI data centers. The fund holds 15 stocks already up over 100% year-to-date, driven by structural demand from hyperscaler capex and supply constraints in indium phosphide lasers. However, critics note the ETF's top holdings lean toward general semiconductor names rather than pure photonics plays, duplicating exposure available in broader semiconductor funds.
The Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF (SCHA) and iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR) offer different approaches to small-cap investing. SCHA provides broader diversification with 1,721 holdings and a lower 0.04% expense ratio, delivering higher 1-year returns (44% vs 37.1%), but carries higher volatility. IJR offers a more selective portfolio of 640 quality-screened holdings with lower risk and higher liquidity ($102.9B AUM), making it suitable for risk-conscious investors willing to pay a slightly higher 0.06% expense ratio.
