JDS Uniphase split in 2015, with Lumentum taking the optical components and commercial lasers business. Two lines matter: datacenter optical transceivers and photonic components, where AI network buildouts drove demand, and three-dimensional sensing lasers, which shipped in volume for facial recognition on phones and created heavy customer concentration. The 2018 Oclaro acquisition added indium phosphide capacity. Headquarters are in San Jose, California, and results have swung hard with both telecom capital spending and handset cycles.

Lumentum equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge LITE stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and LITE's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current LITE option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Lumentum grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Lumentum typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Lumentum RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
