Marvell and Lumentum announced a definitive agreement on November 2, 2026, under which Marvell would acquire Lumentum in an all-stock transaction. The Marvell and Lumentum announcement sets a fixed exchange ratio of 4.500 Marvell shares for each Lumentum share.

Lumentum stock traded at 576.50 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 2:12:07 p.m. CET on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The quote provides the current market context while investors assess the proposed combination and the company's standalone operating momentum.

All-stock structure sets the framework

The transaction gives Lumentum an implied enterprise value of 115 billion U.S. dollars and an implied price of approximately 1,132 U.S. dollars per share based on the companies' unaffected closing prices on October 28. Marvell shareholders would own approximately 67 percent of the combined company after completion, while Lumentum shareholders would hold approximately 33 percent.

The boards of both companies approved the agreement. Completion is expected in the first half of calendar year 2028, subject to shareholder approvals, regulatory clearances and other customary closing conditions. Until then, the two companies are expected to continue operating separately.

The proposed combination joins Marvell's electrical and optical interconnect, switching and custom silicon capabilities with Lumentum's high-performance lasers, optical transceivers, optical circuit switching and compound semiconductor manufacturing. The announcement says the combined group would target a total addressable market of 550 billion U.S. dollars and sees more than 1 billion U.S. dollars in annual run-rate cost synergies, although those projections remain subject to execution and closing risks.

Growth raises execution demands

Lumentum's November 2 results added operating momentum to the transaction story. Fiscal first-quarter revenue reached 1.2626 billion U.S. dollars, up 136.5 percent from the year-earlier quarter and 25.5 percent from the preceding quarter. Components revenue rose 98.9 percent year over year to 754.2 million U.S. dollars, while systems revenue increased 228.8 percent to 508.4 million U.S. dollars.

For fiscal second quarter 2027, management forecast revenue of 1.575 billion to 1.625 billion U.S. dollars, non-GAAP operating margin of 45.0 percent to 46.0 percent and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of 5.90 to 6.20 U.S. dollars. Chief Executive Michael Hurlston said the company expects sequential revenue growth of approximately 350 million U.S. dollars and an operating margin above 45 percent.

The outlook relies on demand for pump lasers and optical circuit switches, while the company also cited a second major NPO/CPO win backed by purchase commitments exceeding 5 billion U.S. dollars. For investors, the key issue is whether Lumentum can convert that demand into production and deliveries while the proposed merger remains subject to approvals.
