Marvell-Lumentum talks put optical supply chain in focus

What happened

Marvell is reportedly in talks to acquire Lumentum, drawing attention across the optical communications supply chain. According to the report, the deal would offer strong strategic synergies, particularly through Lumentum's expertise in critical optical transceiver components. However, the source notes that Lumentum's size and its contracts with major customers, including Apple, could make the acquisition difficult. The acquisition remains at the reported talks stage; no agreement has been reached and the deal has not been completed.
