Lumentum Holdings, an optical connectivity company for AI data centers, has surged about 140% year to date and ranks among the top 10 best-performing stocks in the S&P 500, driven by demand for its lasers, transceivers, and optical components.

According to MarketBeat Ratings, the stock climbed nearly 8% last week on an AI connectivity push and new analyst coverage, extending a rally that has carried it up almost 15% over the past month.

The move is supported by the company’s most recent quarter, reported Aug. 11, when Lumentum delivered adjusted earnings of $3.23 per share and revenue that rose 109.3% year over year to $1.01 billion, marking another quarter in a streak of earnings beats.

MarketBeat Ratings also notes that management continues to guide higher as AI-driven demand accelerates, and that analysts expect earnings to grow another 64% in the year ahead.
