12:30 PM EDT, 05/07/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We raise our 12-month target price by $100 to $1,100, applying an EV/EBITDA multiple of 34.9x to our FY 27 estimate, a slight premium to its five-year historical average multiple at 31.9x. We increase our FY 26 EPS estimate by $0.45 to $8.24 and raise FY 27's by $2.21 to $18.05. LITE expects to set another quarterly revenue record in Q4, with over half the sequential growth anticipated from components and the remainder from systems, especially high-speed transceivers and OCS. LITE experienced significant supply-demand imbalances across multiple product lines, particularly for EMLs, pump lasers, and transceivers. Supply constraints were reported as even higher than previously disclosed, with shortages resulting in undershipping of customer demand and necessitating difficult allocation decisions among customers. In addition, certain manufacturing facilities remain underutilized, although initiatives are in place to improve utilization and margin contributions from these sites.
