Shares jumped in aftermarket trading following the release, reflecting investor confidence in a growth trajectory the company itself expects to accelerate, with Q1 FY2026 guidance of $510 million to $540 million in revenue and management expressing conviction it will clear $600 million in quarterly revenue by June 2026 or sooner.

“In our fiscal fourth quarter, we executed exceptionally well in meeting robust demand across our portfolio of cloud products supporting AI data centers. This solid performance, combined with sustained customer demand, drove our Q4 revenue above the high end of the upwardly revised guidance we provided in early June. The outperformance was broad-based across our cloud-focused business, with particular strength in components, specifically EML chips, pump lasers, and narrow linewidth laser assemblies for data center interconnect, as well as 800G modules.”
