The company operates through two distinct segments, Cloud & Networking and Industrial Tech, providing specialized optical and photonic chips and components essential for advanced communication infrastructure. Operating within the Technology sector and specifically the Communication Equipment industry, Lumentum supplies critical hardware that enables high-speed data transmission and networking capabilities for global telecommunications providers. With a market capitalization of $64.07B and annual revenue of $2.11B, the company commands a significant presence in the capital markets, supported by a workforce of 10562 employees. These valuation figures indicate that the market assigns a substantial premium to the firm, reflecting high investor expectations for future growth driven by the essential nature of its optical components in the expanding global data center and networking ecosystems.
Financiële gezondheid
The company reported a revenue of $2.11B over the trailing twelve months, generating a net income of $251.60M and an EBITDA of $267.70M. The gap between the $2.11B revenue and the $251.60M net income reveals a significant operational cost structure, as the net income is only approximately 11.9% of total sales after accounting for all expenses including taxes and interest. The free cash flow stands at $-21,325,000, indicating that the company is currently burning cash, which suggests limited immediate financial flexibility for capital expenditures or dividends without external financing. Despite the cash burn, the firm holds $1.16B in cash against $3.32B in debt, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 392.48, which characterizes the balance sheet as highly leveraged rather than conservative. The current ratio of 0.61 indicates that short-term liabilities exceed short-term assets, signaling potential liquidity constraints that require careful management of working capital. Furthermore, the Return on Equity of 29.3% contrasts sharply with a Return on Assets of 0.3%, suggesting that while the equity base is utilized efficiently to generate shareholder returns, the broader asset base generates minimal returns relative to the total investment.
Waarderingsbeoordeling
Lumentum carries a trailing P/E ratio of 263.14 and a forward P/E of 56.89, implying that the market expects earnings to expand significantly in the coming year to justify the current stock price. The price-to-book ratio is 75.68, indicating a massive market premium where the stock trades at more than 75 times its tangible book value, reflecting high growth expectations rather than current asset backing. Alternative valuation metrics such as the price-to-sales ratio of 30.43 and an EV/EBITDA of 247.42 suggest that investors are pricing in substantial future revenue expansion, as current profitability metrics do not yet support such high multiples. The stock has traded between a 52-week low of $49.13 and a 52-week high of $960.00, with the current price sitting significantly below the peak but well above the recent trough. With a beta of 1.39, the stock exhibits 39% higher volatility than the broader market, meaning price swings are expected to be more pronounced during periods of market turbulence.
Growth & Income
Revenue growth stands at 65.5% year-over-year, while earnings growth is marked as N/A in the available data, meaning the specific annualized earnings growth rate is not provided for direct comparison. The absence of reported earnings growth figures prevents a definitive calculation of whether earnings are expanding faster or slower than revenue, though the robust revenue expansion suggests strong top-line momentum. As a non-dividend payer, the company maintains a dividend yield of N/A and a payout ratio of 0.0%, which indicates that all generated earnings are reinvested into research, development, and capacity expansion rather than distributed to shareholders. This reinvestment strategy is typical for high-growth technology firms that prioritize scaling operations over providing immediate income to investors. The overall growth and income profile is defined by aggressive revenue expansion and a complete focus on capital allocation for business development, foregoing regular dividend distributions to fuel long-term market share acquisition.
