- Tuesday, February 5, 10:49 AM Fabrinet (FN +6.7%) is rallying following its FQ2 beat, and is lifting both fellow contract manufacturers and the company's optical component industry clients along the way. SANM +3.2%. JBL +2.1%. FLEX +2.1%. BHE +4.5%. JDSU +2.3%. FNSR +4%. OCLR +1.9%. The gains come even though Fabrinet is guiding for FQ3 revenue of $147M-$151M and EPS of $0.29-$0.31, below a consensus of $161.7M and $0.37. Optical component stocks have been on a tear lately. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
- Thursday, January 31, 10:51 AM Just about anyone competing with JDS Uniphase (JDSU +17.7%) in a major way is higher after the optical component/test equipment firm beat FQ2 estimates and issued healthy FQ3 guidance. FNSR +10.8%. OCLR +10.5%. NPTN +4.3%. OPLK +4.7%. EXFO +6.6%. XXIA +1.9%. Telecom equipment makers are also up, lifted by both JDS and Ericsson's results: INFN +4.4%. CIEN +6.4%. ADTN +2.7%. JNPR +2.6%. PKT +3.6%. ALLT +3.2%. JDS mentioned on its earnings call "recent announcements and customer dialogue" bode well for 2013 telecom capex. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]

VNR -5%. 1 Comment [On the Move] - Wednesday, January 30, 5:03 PM More on JDS Uniphase: FQ3 guidance is for revenue of $405M-$425M, in-line with a $414.8M consensus and perhaps better than feared given recent history. Gross margin +220 bps Q/Q and +90 bps Y/Y in FQ2 to 48%. Telecom test/measurement sales -0.4% Y/Y, better than FQ1's 8.5% drop. Optical component sales +12.7% (+8.6% in FQ1), lasers +20.3% (+5.6% prior), optical security/performance products -4% (+11.7% prior). JDSU +7.1% AH. CC getting started (webcast). FNSR +4.3%. OPLK, OCLR, NPTN, and XXIA could also rally. (PR) (slides) (fact sheet) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Friday, January 25, 6:15 PM Though Finisar (FNSR) and JDS Uniphase (JDSU) fell last week on concerns about 100G silicon photonics solutions from Intel and Cisco, "it's not time to panic," writes Light Reading's Craig Matsumoto. Intel's solution is meant for server boards, and the company doesn't see 100G server interfaces taking off for a few years. Cisco's offering, meanwhile, is only meant for Cisco hardware. Needham argues Intel's solution is only good for short distances, and that Finisar will be able to deliver 100G modules with "lower power, tighter density and lower costs" than Cisco's 1 Comment [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.

[On the Move] - Friday, January 18, 10:16 AM JDS Uniphase (JDSU -2.3%) and Oclaro (OCLR -2.7%) fall after rival Finisar (FNSR -6.2%) gets hit with a downgrade to Underperform from Jefferies over the adoption of silicon photonics tech. Earlier this week, Intel announced its silicon photonics solution, which can enable short-range 100G Ethernet links, would be used in Facebook's increasingly popular Open Compute data center platform. Also: JDS test equipment rival Ixia (XXIA -2.7%) has been downgraded to Neutral by Lazard, which cites valuation. 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, January 18, 9:28 AM Finisar (FNSR) is downgraded to Sell by Jefferies' James Kisner, also cutting his price target by a whopping $6.50 to $7.50. "The commercialization of highly deflationary silicon photonics technology in the data center is likely no longer in doubt," he writes, and that's bad news for Finisar's Datacom business. Shares -9% premarket. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]

2 Comments [On the Move] - Thursday, January 10, 1:04 PM Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) has acquired Capella Photonics, a maker of advanced wavelength selective switch (WSS) components for optical switching hardware. The purchase comes after ALU reported a 17.5% Y/Y Q3 sales drop for its Optics division, and at a time when the company is reportedly mulling the sale of its submarine optical business. Finisar (FNSR) is a major WSS component supplier. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- 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, December 26, 2012, 1:01 PM JDS Uniphase (JDSU +1.4%) and Finisar (FNSR +1.5%) tick higher after Piper's Troy Jensen forecasts optical component makers will post better-than-expected 2H13 sales thanks to rising carrier capex. Jensen also predicts JDS will see market share gains. Oclaro (OCLR -2.3%) isn't joining in on the fun. 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!

ALU didn't help FNSR's stock. GLW and CIEN barely holding on to a positive day. I don't see them finishing in the green. - View all 0 replies
