Thursday, June 6, 9:48 AM Following the open, a few more telecom equipment and optical component names are rallying in response to Ciena's (CIEN +14.2%) strong FQ2 beat and FQ3 guidance, which seems to be stoking optimism rising Web/mobile traffic will propel telecom capex higher whether or not carriers want it to. OCLR +5.9%. ADTN +4.7%. UBNT +3.4%. RVBD +3.8%. CALX +2.7%. TLAB +1.5%. XXIA +2.1%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Thursday, April 25, 4:37 PM Calix Networks (CALX): Q1 EPS of $0.06 beats by $0.06. Revenue of $90.5M beats by $0.45M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Tech]
Thursday, April 25, 10:17 AM A Q1 beat and strong 2013 guidance lead Infinera (INFN +22.8%) to surge to 52-week highs. Industry peers are up in sympathy, a day after many declined thanks to AT&T: CIEN +3%. FNSR +2.8%. JDSU +1.5%. ADTN +2.2%. CALX +1.5%. On its earnings call, Infinera guided for Q2 revenue of $130M-$140M and EPS of -$0.04 to $0.01, above a consensus of $124.3M and -$0.05. Gross margin (an issue going in) is expected to rise to 37%-39% from Q1's 36%. 2013 revenue growth is now pegged at the the high end of a guidance range of 10%-20% (consensus is 17%). Purchase commitments for the advanced DTN-X optical transmission system grew by 6 to 27. Needham has upgraded shares to Buy. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
Thursday, April 25, 12:10 AM Notable earnings after Thursday’s close: AEM, ALTR, AMCC, AMKR, AMZN, BIDU, BJRI, BLDR, BMRN, CALX, CAMP, CB, CBG, CENX, CERN, CINF, CLWR, CRUS, CSTR, CTCT, DECK, DLB, ELY, EMN, EXPE, FII, FR, FSL, GERN, IGT, IM, INAP, INFA, KBR, KEG, KLAC, LEG, MCRS, MXIM, N, NR, NTGR, OLN, PFG, PKI, PMCS, QLIK, RMD, RRC, RSG, SBUX, SIMO, SPN, SWKS, SYNA, TCO, THRX, TLAB, UHS, VPRT, VRSN, WRE, WYNN Comment!

[Earnings]
Tuesday, April 23, 7:56 PM Telecom equipment and optical component makers fall in AH trading in response to Juniper's revenue miss and light Q2 guidance, and (in what's arguably the bigger news) AT&T's $2B/year capex budget cuts for 2014 and 2015. CSCO -1.8% AH. CIEN -2.5%. RVBD -1.4%. JDSU -3.4%. FNSR -1.3%. TLAB -1.6%. Many of these companies had surged last November when AT&T set lofty 2014/2015 capex targets. Other names that could fall tomorrow: INFN. FN. OPLK. CALX. ADTN. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
Thursday, March 7, 10:11 AM It's rally time for telecom equipment and optical component makers, as the Street sees positive implications in Ciena's FQ1 beat and respectable FQ2 guidance for service provider capex. JDSU +6.2%. JNPR +4%. FNSR +4.5%. INFN +5.1%. ADTN +2.5%. RVBD +1.7%. FFIV +2.3%. CALX +2.1%. OCLR +5.7%. OPLK +2.7%. EXFO +4.5%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Wednesday, February 6, 12:45 PM Midday top 10 gainers: IGOI +28%. BIOL +27%. JAXB +22%. GDP +21%. CACH +20%. KFRC +19%. SFLY +20%. POWL +14%. MFR +14%. MUSA +13%.
Midday top 10 losers: VOCS -17%. CVU -14%. CALX -13%. OPAY -10%. AERL -10%. CHRW -10%. URRE -10%. SSY -9%. WXS -9%. ELN -8%. Comment! [On the Move]
Tuesday, February 5, 4:51 PM Calix Networks (CALX): Q4 EPS of $0.06 beats by $0.03. Revenue of $91.4M (+12.5% Y/Y) misses by $0.22M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Tech]
Tuesday, January 22, 12:06 PM To the chagrin of telecom equipment firms, Verizon (VZ +0.9%) is staying frugal with its capex: after spending $16.2B in 2012 (down slightly Y/Y in spite of a 4.5% revenue gain), the carrier forecasts 2013 capex will be flat Y/Y. Big Red also says it wants to lower wireless expenses by $2B, and forecasts a 2013 wireless EBITDA margin of 49%-50% (up from 2012's 46.6%). Lower smartphone subsidies are a goal (possibly bad news for Apple and Samsung), and stock buybacks aren't ruled out - a heavy debt load and cash distributions to Vodafone limit Verizon's flexibility here. (more) 1 Comment [Tech]
Thursday, December 27, 2012, 1:50 PM Light Reading sees higher carrier capex among the optical networking trends to look out for in 2013: the site points to comments from Finisar's (FNSR) CEO about European networks running at 65% of capacity (up from a prior 40%), as well as remarks from MKM noting "positive spending announcements" from AT&T, Sprint, Deutsche Telekom, and others. It also sees demand for 100G optical transmission systems taking off. Yesterday, Piper predicted component vendors would get a 2H13 lift from capex increases. Comment! [Tech]
Wednesday, November 7, 2012, 4:02 PM Though many telecom equipment names with strong U.S. exposure rallied in response to AT&T's capex announcement, Calix (CALX -9.7%) fell hard today. A likely reason: Calix depends heavily on sales to tier-2 carriers who will be in the crosshairs of AT&T's Project Velocity, which seeks to both expand the company's wireline broadband reach and make its 4G network a broadband option in many rural areas. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, M&A]
Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 1:43 PM Ahead of its investor day, Ericsson (ERIC -1.2%) forecast the telecom equipment market will show a CAGR of just 3%-5% from 2012-2015. In light of all the bad earnings news and capex forecasts to hit the telecom equipment space lately, not too many will argue with Ericsson's assessment. The company does, however, think the telecom services, support solutions, and OSS software markets, where it has been trying to grow its positions, will post healthier (though not spectacular) CAGRs. Comment! [Tech]
Friday, November 2, 2012, 2:13 PM Telecom equipment and chip/component names are underperforming following Alcatel-Lucent''s (ALU -9.5%) downbeat Q3 numbers, which included an 11% Q/Q and 18% Y/Y drop in Optics division revenue. CIEN -3.6%. TLAB -1.2%. FNSR -2.6%. OCLR -1.5%. APKT -2.4%. CALX -2.1%. ADTN -2.3%. ALTR -3.1%. CAVM -2.9%. Worries about telecom capex have long been running high. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Friday, October 26, 2012, 2:03 PM Crushed this year due to weak U.S. service provider capex, Calix (CALX +15.9%) has taken off after beating lowered estimates and guiding on its earnings call for Q4 revenue (excludes the Ericsson deal) of $87M and EPS of $0.05, nearly even with a consensus of $87M and $0.06. Calix and Acme Packet's results are lifting telecom equipment peers, many of whom sold off earlier this week: ADTN +1.9%. CIEN +3.8%. JNPR +2.5%. SONS +3.9%. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
Thursday, October 25, 2012, 5:22 PM Calix (CALX): Q3 EPS of $0.04 beats by $0.03. Revenue of $81.3M (+3% Y/Y) beats by $2M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Tech]

CALX is caught up in the "wave of fear" about small cap stocks, even though it's selling at less than 17 times next year's earnings
