Correction-BUZZ-Reports say Lumentum's optical communication products for AI servers are sold out until 2029, driving its stock price higher
路透社2026/10/09 13:47Correction on point 4: Nvidia separately invested $2 billion each in Lumentum and Coherent, rather than a combined investment. October 9 – Shares of photonics product manufacturer Lumentum (LITE.O) surged 6.4% in pre-market trading to $1,114.54. According to Bloomberg, the CEO of LITE stated that as tech companies seek faster AI data center infrastructure, the company's optical device orders are fully booked through early 2029. CEO Michael Hurlston said that by 2027, LITE will be unable to fulfill about 70% of demand for certain products, and by 2028, about 30% of demand for other products will still not be met. Lumentum and its peer Coherent (COHR.N) each received a $2 billion investment from the AI leader Nvidia (NVDA.O) earlier this year. COHR shares recently rose 4.9% in pre-market trading. As of Thursday's close, Lumentum shares have gained 184.5% year-to-date.

US Stock Market Movement | SpaceX spectrum transactions stimulate demand for communication tower leasing, Crown Castle International (CCI.US) surges over 11%
According to information from Zhitong Finance APP, on Friday, Crown Castle International (CCI.US) surged over 11%, and American Tower (AMT.US) rose more than 7%. On October 8, it was reported that SpaceX agreed to acquire nationwide low-frequency spectrum for about $8 billion, aiming to enhance satellite mobile communication services. The related spectrum can improve signal penetration, and the expansion of terrestrial networks may continue to drive demand for communication tower construction. The deal raised expectations that SpaceX may lease available space on existing communication towers in the future to support its ambition to become one of the major wireless operators in the United States. It is noted that Crown Castle International owns, operates, and leases about 40,000 cellular communication towers in the US, providing infrastructure for wireless connectivity; the SpaceX spectrum acquisition increases its relevance to terrestrial network construction and tower leasing.
