Lumentum Holdings Inc. (LITE)
NasdaqGS · Price as of · Nasdaq Real Time Price
- Profitability5/20
Losing money ($-14.10B over the last four reported quarters), but the top line is growing fast. Revenue over the last four reported quarters was $1.79B, up 42% from $1.26B the year before. Growth this quick earns partial credit; it still has to turn into profit.
- Insider buying vs selling11/20
Insiders are sellers only: 60 sells worth $79.8M, no open-market buys, across the last 20 Form 4s. Routine executive selling is common, so this is only a mild negative. Separately, 2 new 5%+ stake disclosures (13D/13G) hit in the last 6 months, which is big-money accumulation.
- Dilution and offerings1/15
Share count up 28.3% in a year. Heavy dilution.
