The gross profit margin of Lumentum Holdings Inc. exhibits notable fluctuations over the examined period, reflecting shifts in profitability related to the company's core operations. Starting from 40.94% as of September 30, 2020, there was a steady ascent reaching a peak of 46.56% on September 30, 2021. This upward trend suggests improving efficiency or favorable product mix during this timeframe.

Subsequently, the gross profit margin experienced a slight decline, moving to 46.14% at the end of 2021 and maintaining relatively stable levels through March and June 2022 at around 45.74% to 46.05%. However, beginning in September 2022, the margin demonstrates a downward trajectory, dropping to 42.78%, then further decreasing to 39.14% by December 2022. The trend persisted into 2023 with the margin continually declining to 37.39% in March, 33.26% in June, and reaching 30.50% in September 2023.

This declining pattern persisted into late 2023 and early 2024, with the gross profit margin recorded at 28.08% on December 31, 2023, and 22.13% on March 31, 2024. The metric continued to decline through June and September 2024, registering at 18.92% and 17.44%, respectively. A partial recovery is observed in late 2024, with the margin increasing slightly to 17.76% in December 2024, before rising again in 2025 to 22.56% by March and 27.96% by June.

Overall, the gross profit margin displays a pattern of initial growth followed by a prolonged decline beginning in late 2021 through mid-2024, with a modest recovery noted subsequently.
