$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ There was some unusually large buying in far out-of-the-money PLTR calls just before the close. The kind of size that makes you stop and look.

$Lumentum(LITE)$  Looks like profit taking after a parabolic run-up. Nothing too concerning. I'm waiting for a proper reversal signal before adding again.

It has the highest valuation among its peers and could be approaching $Lumentum(LITE)$  and $Coherent(COHR)$  in 2028.

$Ondas Holdings Inc.(ONDS)$ Looks like some weak hands sold and are now buying back in. The partnerships with $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$  and $Lockheed Martin(LMT)$  are bringing a lot of attention to this drone company, and Israeli drone contracts were announced recently. Pretty significant.

$Lumentum(LITE)$ I let go of my 27 shares at $938, taking about $110 in profit. For the most part, I'm staying heavily in CDE and SKE. There's a chance they get bought out at a 30-50% premium over current levels by the end of 2028.

$Lumentum(LITE)$ People who sold into that early selloff after the initial pop are probably feeling it now. I kind of hope it's the same shorts that have been pressing the AI trade over the last few weeks.

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$  The move from $179 down to $168 gave shorts a clean window to lock in gains and exit. Some covered and flipped long pretty quickly. There are always a few who won't adjust until the price action forces their hand.

So the top three are $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ , $C3.ai, Inc.(AI)$ , and BBAI. Something seems to be brewing with BBAI, might be worth reading up on the recent news.

$Lumentum(LITE)$ Q4 earnings came in with a double beat. Adjusted EPS hit $3.23 against the $2.97 estimate, and sales reached $1.006B compared to the $987.892M estimate.

$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ $Lumentum(LITE)$ That played out nicely. One of the better earnings scalps I've had this month.

$Lumentum(LITE)$ $Lumentum(LITE)$ Just crossed a billion dollars in a quarter. Revenue came in at $1.006B, up 109% year over year and 24% sequentially. That's a beat. Adjusted EPS was $3.23 vs $2.97 expected, a 9% beat. Both numbers landed above the high end of their own guidance.

Taking a look at the sentiment track heading into the close for companies reporting this afternoon. Three highlighted names were clustered together in the Bearish zone at the start of the period, but they have diverged since then. Photonics expectations are still high, with $POET Technologies Inc(POET)$  and $Lumentum(LITE)$  showing Extremely Bullish sentiment. $Absci Corporation.(ABSI)$  briefly reached the Bullish zone before turning back and ended up closing with the lowest sentiment in the group.

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ $Defiance Daily Target 2X Short PLTR ETF(PLTZ)$ I'm moving fully to cash today and waiting for the CPI data to come out. The only position I'm keeping is 200,000 shares of CXAI, which I'm holding as a bet for Thursday.

$Lumentum(LITE)$  Earnings should be incredible. The real focus is on guidance looking out to 2028. The backlog is ridiculous and margins are insane. I'm safely invested in stocks.

$Lumentum(LITE)$  It feels like market makers know this is going to pop after the earnings call, so they run it down, buy, and make bank. I'm not too worried about it — I'm not selling, because I know what I own.

Picked up some $Lumentum(LITE)$  1000c for tomorrow, looking at a possible run-up and IV expansion.

$Lumentum(LITE)$ Does anyone know how this stock has historically performed after earnings? I'm trying to decide whether to hold through the results. I get that the post-earnings reaction is basically anyone's guess.

$Lumentum(LITE)$  Looking at some of the fastest-growing names across two sectors. In AI connectivity, projected 2026 revenue growth estimates point to CRDO at +204%, AAOI at +111%, and LITE at +110%. On the energy side, EOSE shows +120% and BE at +83%. AI networking and energy infrastructure are becoming major growth themes. Which one has the biggest upside if growth keeps accelerating?

$Lumentum(LITE)$ A number of AI infrastructure names took a sharp drop right at the open, then bounced part of the way back. It looks like algo-driven moves to me. I'm hoping for continued upside.

$SIVERS SEMICONDUCTORS AB(SIVEF)$ Up 15.45% or .62 in Stockholm trading at $4.92 US. The optics rally seems to be picking up again. $Lumentum(LITE)$  earnings are coming up soon and $Coherent(COHR)$  follows on Wednesday. For anyone who just held and added, the position is looking really strong right now.
