Resolution spec

Spec registered 2026-07-31.

• [A] CORE :: Lumentum quantifies an AI-optics / optical-circuit-switch backlog of at least USD 600 million in its Q2 CY2026 disclosure or on the accompanying call.
  kind: dated binary event :: event date 2026-08-12 :: evidence: primary source
• [B] confirm :: Lumentum Q2 CY2026 revenue is at least 4% above the pre-print Street consensus revenue snapshot frozen on the policy snapshot date.
  kind: numeric threshold :: q2_cy2026_revenue_vs_consensus_pct >= 4
  baseline 987.7 (consensus snapshot, frozen 2026-08-06)
  note: Yahoo Finance analyst consensus revenue for Lumentum FQ4 FY26 (Q2 CY2026, June quarter, reports 2026-08-11) = $987.7M; company guide $960M-$1.01B brackets it. Fetched 2026-08-06.
• [C] confirm :: Management explicitly addresses indium phosphide substrate supply security on the Q2 CY2026 call - naming the AXT capacity-reservation agreement, Greensboro InP fab output, or external substrate/laser sourcing.
  kind: dated binary event :: event date 2026-08-12 :: evidence: primary source

Verdict rule: HIT if leg A, and either leg B or leg C. PARTIAL if both leg A and not leg B and not leg C, or both not leg A and leg B. MISS if not leg A and not leg B.

As frozen: HIT = A && (B || C); PARTIAL = (A && !B && !C) || (!A && B); MISS = !A && !B

Tier history

• 2026-07-31: MEDIUM (initial). Trigger: First assessment for a prediction registered today, entering at the provisional medium tier. The supporting environment is unusually rich going into the 2026-08-12 print: today's AXT cluster - a 164.8% revenue increase on InP for AI data centres, a committed capacity doubling ahead of schedule, and the six-year 87M USD capacity reservation for which Lumentum is the counterparty - makes the subject matter of confirm leg C highly salient. But no datapoint yet establishes any leg, all three of which turn on what Lumentum itself discloses.

Evaluated daily since registration: 7 evaluations. The 1 that moved the tier is listed above.

Resolution receipt

Verdict: MISS. Resolved 2026-08-12.

Rule: HIT if leg A, and either leg B or leg C. PARTIAL if both leg A and not leg B and not leg C, or both not leg A and leg B. MISS if not leg A and not leg B.

As frozen: HIT = A && (B || C); PARTIAL = (A && !B && !C) || (!A && B); MISS = !A && !B

• [A] FAIL: On the fiscal Q4 2026 (Q2 CY2026) call, management explicitly declined to quantify an AI-optics or optical-circuit-switch backlog in dollars, framing forward demand as expanding TAM and internal/reserved InP capacity build rather than a booked backlog figure; the >=USD 600M backlog was not disclosed.
• [B] FAIL: actual_raw=1006.3 vs frozen baseline 987.7 → 1.88% >= 4. Reported fiscal Q4 2026 net revenue of USD 1,006.3M versus the frozen consensus snapshot of USD 987.7M, a beat of roughly 1.9 percent, below the 4 percent bar.
• [C] PASS: CEO Hurlston explicitly addressed indium phosphide substrate supply security on the call, naming AXT as a substrate partner Lumentum expects to rely on and describing the Greensboro fab converting from gallium arsenide to InP; both AXT sourcing and Greensboro InP fab output are named acceptance conditions.
