Episode Details

Lumentum just suffered a brutal 18% selloff after Marvell Technology announced a massive $115 billion all-stock takeover—the biggest tech merger of the year. Instead of celebrating, Wall Street panicked over heavy dilution, execution risks, and a distant 2028 closing date, sending both stocks into a tailspin. But with Lumentum posting 109% revenue growth on explosive AI optical demand and shares trading at a steep discount to the implied deal price, is this a rare mispricing for value hunters to exploit? In this episode of Implied, we break down the math behind the crash, the antitrust hurdles ahead, and why this optical powerhouse might stage a major rebound.
