- Tuesday, January 8, 11:53 AM Telecom equipment stocks are having a rough day. The group has rallied in recent weeks, and (in spite of some encouraging signs) worries about wireline capex haven't fully dissipated. ALU -7.8%. ERIC -4.8%. JNPR -2.2%. CIEN -3.6%. INFN -2.3%. FFIV -1.8%. RVBD -3.3%. ALLT -5.4%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, December 13, 2012, 12:34 PM Though FQ4 results missed estimates and guidance for FQ1 revenue of $435M-$460M isn't favorable with a $458.6M consensus, Ciena (CIEN +1.8%) is trading higher. Few expected a great report in light of soft wireline capex, and a record backlog is going over well. Also, gross margin rose 290 bps Q/Q to 42.7%, and is expected to stay in the low-40s in FQ1. Optical transport sales (62% of total) saw a 2% Y/Y decline and optical switching fell 50%. But carrier Ethernet sales rose 66% and software/services 21%. TLAB +1.5%. FNSR +5.3%. OCLR +2%. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Monday, December 3, 2012, 9:38 AM Finisar (FNSR +3.2%) opens with a solid gain after Needham upgrades shares to Buy and sets an $18 PT. The firm cites improved 2013 service provider capex following a rough 2012; improving demand for Finisar's ROADM line cards and LcOS optical switches, and continued sell-outs for its high-end 40G/100G optical transceivers. Rivals are also doing well today: OCLR +1.6%. JDSU +2.2%. OPLK +2.8%. So is equipment vendor Ciena (CIEN +2.7%), which has strong 40G/100G exposure. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 5:28 PM Juniper (JNPR) +2.5% AH and F5 (FFIV) +1.4% after Cisco beats FQ4 estimates, provides decent FQ1 guidance, and delivers relatively upbeat earnings call commentary about U.S. and Asia-Pac demand (though not Europe), particularly regarding service provider activity. Some other names to keep an eye on tomorrow: RVBD, CIEN, JDSU, FNSR, TLAB, ALU, AMCC, ADTN. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, November 7, 2012, 1:36 PM U.S. cell tower owners American Tower (AMT +2.4%), SBA (SBAC +1.6%), and Crown Castle (CCI +0.8%) are also getting a lift from AT&T's (T -2.3%) capex plans, which include a push to offer 4G LTE services as a broadband option for rural areas. Wells Fargo expects AMT to benefit from AT&T's plan to adds 10K new cell sites and 40K small cells, while Citi views Ciena (CIEN +8%), Juniper (JNPR +1.8%), Cisco (CSCO -0.9%), and Adtran (ADTN +4.2%) as beneficiaries of Ma Bell's wireline investments. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, November 7, 2012, 10:17 AM In addition to hiking its dividend, AT&T (T -2.9%) says it plans to spend $22B on capex each of the next 3 years, up from 2011's $19B-$20B. $8B will be spent on building AT&T's 4G LTE network, which trails Verizon (VZ -1.5%) in terms of coverage, and $6B on expanding its wireline broadband network. AT&T is also guiding for mid-single-digit annual EPS growth over this time. Capex-starved telecom equipment/component names are rallying. CIEN +11.2%. ADTN +8.1%. APKT +5.8%. JNPR +2.1%. JDSU +6.8%. ALU +2.5%. (investor day: webcast, slides) 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- 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]
- Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 11:59 AM The Street initially seemed comfortable with the soft Q4 guidance Juniper (JNPR -8.3%) provided with its Q3 report, but it's had a change of heart. Earnings call remarks about there being "no evidence of ... a significant improvement in the spending environment over the next few quarters" are likely a big reason why. Other networking equipment/component names are also off: CSCO -1.9%. CIEN -3.3%. JDSU -2.9%. RVBD -3.3%. FNSR -2.9%. APKT -2.6%. Soft guidance from Corning, Altera, and Broadcom could also be having an impact. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Monday, October 15, 2012, 3:29 AM ZTE shares plunge 15.1% in Hong Kong after China's second-largest telecom-equipment maker warns that it will make a Q3 loss of up to 2B yuan ($319.1M). ZTE blames a delay in some overseas deals and a large number of low-margin contracts in Europe, Asia and the domestic market. U.S.-listed shares on watch include ALU (-1.7% in Paris), ERIC (-0.85% in Stockholm), CSCO, JNPR,CIEN, MMI, BBND. (PR) Comment! [On the Move, Tech]
- Friday, September 28, 2012, 2:44 PM Some of the problems behind Adtran's (ADTN -10.5%) Q3 warning are company-specific, suggests MKM's Michael Genovese. Adtran is "under competitive attack" from Calix (CALX -2%) at rural telcos, he writes, and the company's sales to AT&T and Verizon are partly under pressure due to by declining sales of legacy hardware (presumably a reference to Adtran's T1/T3 and SONET gear). But Genovese grants the warning will heighten near-term investor concerns about industry peers such as ALU, CIEN, and TLAB. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, September 28, 2012, 11:00 AM Telecom equipment and optical component names slump in response to Adtran's (ADTN -8.9%) warning. CIEN -3.1%. JNPR -2.1%. APKT -3.3%. JDSU -3.5%. FNSR -4.3%. Adtran heavily blamed its shortfall on "delays in project rollouts" from U.S. carriers. That's a familiar refrain for both Adtran and its peers. AT&T and Verizon are doing their best to restrain capex in order to boost near-term profits, and the money that they are spending is increasingly focused on their faster-growing wireless ops. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Monday, September 17, 2012, 1:41 PM Ciena (CIEN -2.6%) falls after Raymond James' Simon Leopold throws cold water on the Street's excitement over the company's growing 100G optical transmission gear sales. 100G still only makes up 6% of Ciena's sales, Leopold notes, and while that number will grow next year thanks to design wins, it will bring with it a margin hit. Ciena fell last month after warning of "slower-than-expected rollouts" for new design wins. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, August 30, 2012, 9:16 AM More on Ciena's FQ3: The company expects FQ4 revenue of $455M-$480M, below a $499.5M consensus. It also expects gross margin to slip to ~40% from FQ3's 44.1%, and opex to grow to the "low $180s million" from FQ3's $175.2M. Optical transport (63% of sales) grew Y/Y but fell Q/Q. Ciena blames macro issues and "slower-than-expected rollouts" (likely related to 40G/100G optical gear) for its woes. CIEN -11.6%. Also lower: JDSU -2.2%. FNSR -2.7%.

Premarket gainers: FSR +15%. P +14%. GSV +14%. SRPT +12%. GERN +10%. VC +8%.
Losers: CIEN -11%. VRA -9%. RBA -6%. 1 Comment [On the Move] - Wednesday, August 15, 2012, 2:13 PM JDS Uniphase (JDSU +8.7%) surges after beating FQ4 estimates and providing healthy guidance. During its earnings call, JDS noted demand for 40G/100G optical components is growing rapidly - a positive for Ciena (CIEN +2.8%) - and hinted it has signed a new development contract with Microsoft. MKM believes JDS is gaining component share and is attractively valued, but Needham thinks a lot still depends on Q4 carrier budgets. FNSR +5.6%. OPLK +1.9%. NPTN +4.6%. OCLR +2.4%. Comment!
