The AI Networking Stock That Beat Nvidia by 7X YTD for Returns of 135% YTD

May 21, 2026
Beth Kindig
Lead Tech Analyst

April 2026 was a historically strong period for the stock market. The S&P 500 rose by 10.43%—its best monthly return since April 2020, when the market rebounded from COVID-era lows. The Nasdaq-100 achieved the same feat, rising over 15%.

Against this backdrop, I/O Fund performed exceptionally well, as we owned 4 of the market’s 10 best-performing large caps in April. This includes the market’s top large cap gainer, Bloom Energy, which soared 112.81%. In February, my firm called out Bloom as our Top AI Stock Pick for 2026.

Adding to AI energy's strong performance was networking stocks, a subsector that most investors shy away from due to the complexity of the products, in addition to the supply chain moving lightning fast with immense volatility in both directions. The reason networking sees immense volatility is straightforward: much of the market is tied to a single customer, Nvidia; and Nvidia is rolling out new architectural iterations at an unusually fast pace these days.

AI networking stock Lumentum is among the key I/O Fund winners in 2026. We allocated heavily to LITE in January—a month before Nvidia backed the company. While most investors couldn’t stomach taking a stake in this stock that soared 339% in 2025, I/O Fund built a 9% position that has since paid off in spades. Overall, in just five brief months, our Lumentum position delivered a return of 135.4%, or 6.8X higher than Nvidia’s 19.9% return since the end of January.

For investors new to this name, Lumentum recently received significant validation from the world’s most valuable company—Nvidia—with the dominant force in AI infrastructure investing $2 billion in LITE. However, the importance of this goes far beyond the investment itself. The real story is Lumentum’s central position in Nvidia’s multi-year networking roadmap, and the broader AI market, which is affording Lumentum the opportunity to grow its business several times over.

Below, we break down the key dynamics currently benefiting Lumentum, the structural factors supporting continued margin and EPS growth, and our perspective on the key question: “Is it too late?”

IH Market News
Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL) and Lumentum Holdings (NASDAQ:LITE) said they will present a live demonstration of integrated optical networking technologies designed for next-generation artificial intelligence infrastructure at the OFC 2026 conference in Los Angeles.The demonstration will feature Marvell optical connectivity solutions working alongside Lumentum’s optical circuit switching (OCS) platform in a rack-level system. The joint setup will be displayed at Marvell’s booth during the event, scheduled for March 17–19 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.The companies said the technology is aimed at addressing rapidly rising data traffic driven by large-scale AI workloads. As data centers expand to support increasingly complex AI models, operators are seeking networking architectures capable of delivering higher bandwidth, lower latency and improved power efficiency.Optical circuit switching enables direct optical connections between endpoints, allowing large AI clusters to move data more quickly while reducing power consumption. The approach also avoids intermediate packet processing and optical-electrical-optical conversions common in traditional network designs.The demonstration will combine several Marvell products—including its Aquila 1.6T coherent-lite DSPs, Ara 1.6T PAM4 optical DSPs and the COLORZ 800 ZR/ZR+ data-center interconnect module—with Lumentum’s R300 optical circuit switch. According to the companies, the setup is designed to create high-bandwidth optical paths that can dynamically adapt to changing AI workloads while improving network efficiency.The system will also incorporate Marvell’s RELIANT platform, which provides telemetry, analytics and automation tools intended to improve monitoring and optimization of connectivity infrastructure.“AI is redefining every layer of the data center stack, and connectivity is at the center of that transformation,” said Xi Wang, senior vice president and general manager of the Connectivity Business Unit at Marvell. “By demonstrating Marvell optical connectivity solutions interoperating with Lumentum’s OCS platform, we’re showcasing how tomorrow’s AI networks can achieve massive gains while delivering breakthrough gains in performance, power efficiency and architectural agility.”“AI scaling is pushing conventional packet-based networks beyond their practical limits,” said Peter Roorda, general manager of Switching at Lumentum. “The R300 optical circuit switch delivers large-port-count, software-controlled optical connectivity that enables predictable low-latency paths while reducing the power overhead associated with traditional switching layers. Our demonstration with Marvell illustrates how circuit switching and advanced DSP technologies can be combined to build scalable, high-performance AI fabrics.”

Lumentum and Coherent shares jump after Nvidia commits $2 billion investments in advanced opticsMarch 2, 2026 10:13 AM
IH Market News
Shares of Lumentum (NASDAQ:LITE) and Coherent (NYSE:COHR) surged in premarket trading after artificial intelligence leader Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced plans to invest $2 billion in each company to accelerate development of next-generation optical technologies.Under the agreements, Nvidia will also make purchase commitments for the companies’ products, which are designed to improve data transfer speed and efficiency inside data centers. The capital injection is expected to support both research and development efforts as well as expanded manufacturing capacity.Bloomberg Intelligence technology analyst Jake Silverman said the collaboration “positions Lumentum to remain a key supplier for ultra high-powered lasers for co-packaged optics (CPO)” and noted that, for Coherent, the deal “points to a sustained position across multiple products as Nvidia expands its optical transceiver and co-packed optics (CPO) businesses.”Both companies specialize in optical communication technologies that use light instead of electrical signals to transmit data. Their co-packaged optics solutions integrate optical components directly into chip packages, enabling faster data movement while generating less heat compared with traditional copper-based connections.Silverman added that Nvidia’s purchase commitments help reduce execution risk tied to expansion plans at both firms. The agreements are nonexclusive, allowing Lumentum and Coherent to continue supplying optical solutions to other customers.Optical communications company POET Technologies also gained momentum following the announcement, rebounding in premarket trading after earlier weakness.

Tradr Debuts Leveraged ETFs on Lumentum, Sandisk and Western DigitalJanuary 27, 2026 11:46 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Launch captures the secular renaissance of memory stalwarts SNDK and WDCNEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tradr ETFs, a provider of ETFs designed for sophisticated investors and professional traders, today launched three new leveraged ETFs on single stocks. The Cboe-listed funds seek to deliver twice (200%) the daily performance of a specific underlying stock. All three ETFs are first-to-market strategies.The following ETFs are expected to open for trading today:Tradr 2X Long LITE Daily ETF (Cboe: LITX) – Lumentum Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: LITE)Tradr 2X Long SNDK Daily ETF (Cboe: SNXX) – tracks Sandisk Corp. (Nasdaq: SNDK)Tradr 2X Long WDC Daily ETF (Cboe: WDCX) – tracks Western Digital Inc. (Nasdaq: WDC)"Both Sandisk and Western Digital have experienced massive positive momentum since last summer," said Matt Markiewicz, Head of Product and Capital Markets at Tradr ETFs. "The renaissance of memory stocks has been one of the U.S. market's brightest yet surprising stories and we are excited to finally give traders high conviction tools to play this secular boom."Tradr's lineup of 62 leveraged ETFs represents $2 billion in assets under management. Tradr's strategies can be accessed through most brokerage platforms and allow investors to avoid the hassle of using margin and the complexity of options trading. The firm continues its mission of providing sophisticated investors with innovative trading tools that enhance their ability to express market views with precision and efficiency.For detailed information on Tradr ETFs and the significant risks involved with leveraged ETFs, please visit www.tradretfs.com.About Tradr ETFs
Tradr ETFs are designed for sophisticated investors and professional traders who are looking to express high conviction investment views. The strategies include leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek short or long exposure to actively traded stocks and ETFs.IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATIONTradr ETFs are for sophisticated investors and professional traders with high conviction views and are very different from most other ETFs. The Funds are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles and pursue leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Funds magnify the performance of their underlying security. The volatility of the underlying security may affect a Fund's return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying security.Investors in the fund should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage; (b) understand the consequences of seeking inverse and leveraged investment results; (c) for short ETFs, understand the risk of shorting; (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. Fund performance will likely be significantly different than the benchmark over periods longer than the specified reset period and the performance may trend in the opposite direction than its benchmark over periods other than that period.Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Funds, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Funds and their reference security. The Funds seek leveraged investment results for a specific period (daily, monthly or quarterly). The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-period will depend upon the movement of the reference security from the end of the prior period until the time of investment by the investor.The Fund will not attempt to position its portfolio to ensure it does not gain or lose more than a maximum percentage of its net asset value on a given trading day. As a consequence, investors in a Fund that seeks two times daily performance would lose all of their money if the Fund's underlying security moves more than 50% in a direction adverse to the Fund on a given trading day.ETFs involve risk including possible loss of the full principal value. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Principal risks and other important risks may be found in the prospectus. Past performance does not guarantee future results.ETF shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETF. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for ETF shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling ETF shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds. This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the Prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting www.tradretfs.com. The Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.Distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc, which is not affiliated with AXS Investments or its Tradr ETFs. AXI000843

Each ETF aims to deliver twice (200%) the daily performance of its specific underlying stock.Expected Tradr launches:Tradr 2X Long LITE Daily ETF (Cboe: LITX) – Lumentum Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: LITE)Tradr 2X Long SNDK Daily ETF (Cboe: SNXX) – tracks Sandisk Corp. (Nasdaq: SNDK)Tradr 2X Long WDC Daily ETF (Cboe: WDCX) – tracks Western Digital Inc. (Nasdaq: WDC)For detailed information on Tradr ETFs and the significant risks involved with leveraged ETFs, please visit www.tradretfs.com.About Tradr ETFs
Tradr ETFs are designed for sophisticated investors and professional traders who are looking to express high conviction investment views. The strategies include leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek short or long exposure to actively traded stocks and ETFs.IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATIONTradr ETFs are for sophisticated investors and professional traders with high conviction views and are very different from most other ETFs. The Funds are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles and pursue leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Funds magnify the performance of their underlying security. The volatility of the underlying security may affect a Fund's return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying security.Investors in the fund should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage; (b) understand the consequences of seeking inverse and leveraged investment results; (c) for short ETFs, understand the risk of shorting; (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. Fund performance will likely be significantly different than the benchmark over periods longer than the specified reset period and the performance may trend in the opposite direction than its benchmark over periods other than that period.Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Funds, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Funds and their reference security. The Funds seek leveraged investment results for a specific period (daily, monthly or quarterly). The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-period will depend upon the movement of the reference security from the end of the prior period until the time of investment by the investor.The Fund will not attempt to position its portfolio to ensure it does not gain or lose more than a maximum percentage of its net asset value on a given trading day. As a consequence, investors in a Fund that seeks two times daily performance would lose all of their money if the Fund's underlying security moves more than 50% in a direction adverse to the Fund on a given trading day.ETFs involve risk including possible loss of the full principal value. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Principal risks and other important risks may be found in the prospectus. Past performance does not guarantee future results.ETF shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETF. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for ETF shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling ETF shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds. This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the Prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting www.tradretfs.com. The Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.Distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc, which is not affiliated with AXS Investments or its Tradr ETFs. AXI000841

It just seems to keep running. I bought it after seeing possible ties to our favorite stock. I only bought a few hundred.

I've wanted a position in this since 98, but at that time did not have the $$. The old JDS Uniphase

I don't recall why I bought (proly based on your recommendation) but yup up 150.41% since 2/21/25 (8 Months)

But I only bought a few, hey a buck is a buck.

I hope no one listened to your shorty pitch. Lite has more doubled in the little over 3 months since your ignorant post.

This post didn't age well at all!  Up $71 or 71% since your ignorant post!

Up $23 to another new 52 week high since your ignorant post. BTW Lightwave has also  been way up on heavy volume. 

Lumenum hit new all time high today!  You may not like it, but the stockholders do.

The people at LWLG got it totally wrong. I am not a short of either company just a follower of financials and fundamentals. The dupes at LWLG board are burning with anger because I pointed out when LWLG was at $17 that is was on its way to financial insolvency and would be below $2 per share. What price is LWLG stock at now?

Another 52 week high!  You are the same Slim6 who people on the Lightwave board say is a paid poster by the shorts.

Still climbing, Another  52 week high!  The market is forward looking, you are looking backwards.

Yes, LITE lost $44.1 million in the latest reported quarter and diluted shareholder by increasing the number of shares from 67 million to over 69.3 million shares. Why do you think insiders are trying to pump the company while they are dumping its stock?
(LITE is not at an all-time high; it was higher in 2022, look at the data.)

Since it is up $12 since this post to a new 52 week high, I guess it is even farther overvalued according to you?

LITE is a zombie company losing $100 million in net income per year. This is far overvalued.

They just raised their guidance on revenue and income, that's not terrible.

Lumentum is doing terrible. They are losing $100 million per quarter. They have not been able to get their head on straight. The company is also dropping in revenue. Intrinsically, LITE is worth about $20 per share. People are going to get burned. They have billions in debt and now tangible book value has gone even more deeply negative. BK is coming soon. Beware.

Hmm....

$LITE JUMP SHIP TIME IN LUMENTUM , $37 TARGET

It is a horrible time to be invested in TECH, it is obviously going to be sacrificed in the trade war, Huawei has become enemy Number 1 and any company with Chinese exposure has suffered great loss in value in the past few weeks. NASDAQ:LITE has considerable exposure and has now lowered guidance due to the ban initialised on Huawei. The chart of Lite is technically broken, having lost the support off all MA's and the RSI is now at a historical low due to the velocity of the selling. That low is just about the only positive to cling to, there is a chance of a bounce but that it not a trade we would be willing to take. The stock is now in a wee defined downtrend from March 18 with $42 and $37 the next targets on the downside.
If by any chance there is a resolution with China this will rocket higher but that is not on the horizon, given the rhetoric.
