Why is Lumentum stock surging today?

Lumentum (LITE) stock rose 7.9% on Friday due to a rebound in semiconductor and AI-linked equities. The stock had declined 44.6% over five sessions, partly due to a selloff in AI-linked optical stocks and the impact of Marvell's (MRVL) proposed acquisition. Lumentum's fiscal first-quarter revenue increased 136% to $1.26 billion, beating expectations. The broader chip sector also recovered, supported by positive jobs data.
