Question · Q1 2026
Taran Katta asked about the demand outlook for co-packaged optics (CPO) compared to previous quarters, and whether the customer and market base for CPO is expanding.
Answer
President and CEO Michael Hurlston indicated that CPO demand is stronger than initially forecast for the second half of calendar 2026, with no change in timing but an improved forecast. He noted that customer conversations have 'magnified and multiplied,' engaging not only the primary customer but others as well. President of Global Business Units Wupen Yuen added that interest has increased, particularly after the OCP conference, and Lumentum is using EOSFP modules to broaden engagement and visibility, leading to heightened interest and optimism for industry-wide CPO adoption and demand for their ultra-high-power laser chips.
