$LITE earnings are out, very strong earnings:
Revenue: $1.01B, +24.5% Q/Q, +109.3% Y/Y growth
vs. ~$984.6M
Adj. EPS: $3.23 vs. ~$2.95
Gross Margin (non-gaap): 50.4% / Operating margin (non-gaap) 36.6%
Q1 FY2027 guidance is probably more important:
Revenue: $1.225–1.275B vs. ~$1.16B
Adj. EPS: $4.05–4.35 vs. ~$3.63
Operating margin (non-gaap) of 39.5% - 40.5%
In terms of notes:
Sees: "Increasing demand for ultra-high-power CPO lasers, an initial order for ELS modules"
- Great read through on other CPO players like $SIVEF, $COHR, and others. (maybe not AAOI since they're missing out on first-gen deployments)
- "Breath of NPO engagements are the first signs that optics are starting to penetrate in-rack connectivity, significantly upping our optical TAM"
- Revenue projections "reaching our target model more than a quarter ahead of schedule."
Extremely strong earnings as expected, you have revenue going from:
$808M -> $1.01B -> $1.25B while operating margin keeps increasing... Just my first impressions.
Most important thing is the earnings call coming up soon.
