Lumentum Holdings (LITE) surged 3.78% on October 8, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.37 billion, ranking 314th in market activity. The stock's performance reflected investor confidence amid strategic positioning in high-demand sectors.

Recent developments highlighted Lumentum's focus on expanding its optical component solutions for data center and telecommunications infrastructure. Analysts noted the company's ability to capitalize on global demand for advanced connectivity, which aligns with long-term industry growth trajectories. Strategic partnerships and R&D investments were emphasized as key drivers for sustained momentum.

Market participants observed a shift in investor sentiment toward companies demonstrating resilience in capital allocation and operational efficiency. Lumentum's recent operational updates, including production capacity enhancements, were cited as factors reinforcing its competitive positioning in a rapidly evolving market landscape.

To run this back-test accurately we need to clarify a few practical details: 1. Universe • Do you want the ranking done across all U.S. listed equities, or would a narrower, pre-defined universe (e.g. S&P 500 constituents) be acceptable? • Our current toolkit executes one-ticker strategies; therefore, to handle hundreds of names we would have to aggregate the returns externally. If you are comfortable limiting the universe (e.g. S&P 500) or testing a single high-liquidity ETF as a proxy, the task becomes feasible inside the platform. 2. Pricing convention • Should positions be opened and closed at the day’s close price (buy at today’s close, sell at tomorrow’s close), or use next-day open prices? 3. Risk controls • No explicit stop-loss / take-profit rules were mentioned. Confirm that none are required. Once I have your preference on the above (especially the universe scope), I can proceed with the most appropriate back-test setup—or provide alternative work-arounds if a full multi-stock daily rebalance remains essential.
