Lumentum Holdings Inc. (LITE) experienced a significant after-hours sell-off, with its stock plummeting 5.04% in the Thursday evening trading session. This decline came despite the company reporting better-than-expected financial results for the fiscal second quarter of 2025.
In its latest earnings release, Lumentum posted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.42, surpassing the consensus analyst estimate of $0.36. Additionally, the company's revenue of $402.2 million exceeded the projected $389.76 million, marking a 9.7% year-over-year increase.
However, the company's reported GAAP EPS for the quarter was a loss of $0.88 per share, and Lumentum recorded a net loss of $60.9 million. While the reasons behind this net loss were not immediately clear, it appears to have weighed heavily on investor sentiment, triggering the after-hours sell-off.
