Optical communications giants plunge! Has the AI optical communications story changed?

During U.S. trading, Marvell $MRVL fell more than 5%, while Lumentum $LITE dropped over 10%.

The catalyst was the announcement that the two companies had reached an all-stock acquisition agreement worth approximately $115 billion.

The market is also concerned: Can a merger and acquisition deal of this scale deliver on its promises, given the potential for share dilution, integration costs, and future returns?

In the short term, it comes down to valuations and capital flows. Over the medium to long term, the focus is on actual demand from AI data centers. The industry trend toward optical interconnects is worth watching, but a promising outlook doesn't mean every price is worth paying.

Key things to watch next: AI capital expenditure, optical communications orders, earnings delivery, and whether the sector can find a floor and stabilize.
