It trades at 17x earnings compared to peers at 38x. It continues to grow its cash reserves and buying back shares. We would buy this with a stop loss at $70, looking to achieve $100 -- upside potential over 17%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $96.76)

The caller asked for an evaluation of Lumentum in the context of its acquisition of Oclaro (OCLR-O). He says that this stock’s chart looks terrific. It shows a lot of momentum, good earnings growth momentum, the stock shows a lot of volume on its upside breakout. He can see this going to $80 quickly and expects it to do well over a 3-to-6-month time frame. However, you should set an exit point for every trade. For this stock, he recommends that you start reducing if it drops to $65 and get completely out if it reaches $60. He would also reduce if it pulls back below its 20-day moving average.
