Lumentum's 62.46% Volume Surge Propels It to 118th Market Rank Amid 6.85% Stock Slide

Lumentum Holdings (LITE) reported a trading volume of $810 million on September 24, 2025, a 62.46% increase from the previous day, ranking it 118th in market activity. The stock closed with a decline of 6.85%.

Recent market dynamics suggest heightened short-term volatility for the optical components provider. While no direct corporate announcements were disclosed to impact pricing, the surge in trading volume indicates significant investor activity or positioning adjustments. The stock's performance aligns with broader sector trends as optical infrastructure demand remains under scrutiny amid macroeconomic uncertainties.

To build the “top-500-by-volume, 1-day hold” back-test robustly, I need to pin down a few practical details: Universe—Should we screen the entire U.S. equity universe (≈ 7,000 symbols) or a specific index set such as the Russell 3000 or S&P 500 constituents? Price convention & execution timing—Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close)? Or buy at next day’s open and sell at that day’s close (open-to-close)? Weighting scheme—Equal weight across the 500 names, or volume-proportional weights? Trading frictions—Ignore costs/slippage for a theoretical return, or include a round-trip cost assumption? Benchmark (optional)—Would you like the results compared against SPY or another benchmark? Once we lock those in, I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test.
