Tuesday, May 21, 1:39 PM More on the Xbox One: The device has a Blu-ray player, and is said to be "practically silent" when running. A new Kinect sensor is being bundled with the console (JDSU a likely supplier): its camera, color depth, and motion-sensing abilities are improved, and voice is said to be more "conversational." Xbox SmartGlass mobile apps are integrated with the One, interactive TV content is paired with shows, and a "snap mode" shows multiple apps a once. Electronic Arts (EA) is promising to launch titles from 4 sports franchises - FIFA, Madden, NBA Live, and UFC - in the next 12 months, aided by a new gaming engine. (live blog) Comment! [Tech]
Thursday, May 16, 10:49 AM Plenty of Cisco rivals and suppliers are now rallying in response to the company's FQ3 beat, guidance, and order activity: JDSU +5.2%. RKUS +5.8%. CAVM +4.8%. PKT +2.9%. ADTN +2.6%. ALLT +1.9%. FN +2%. FNSR +2.4%. BRCM +1.3%. MRVL +1.6%. (previous) Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Wednesday, May 8, 10:49 AM New all-time lows are being posted by Oclaro (OCLR -23.5%) following its FQ3 miss and light FQ4 guidance, which suggests the Opnext merger isn't going swimmingly. Some optical component/networking names are seeing moderate pressure in response: FNSR -2.9%. FN -2.2%. INFN -2.1%. JDSU -1%. Oclaro is guiding for FQ4 revenue $132M-$144M, well below a $159.5M consensus. The company, which ended FQ3 with $81M in cash and $64M in debt, also says it has obtained a $25M credit line from Providence Equity. On the earnings call, Opnext blamed its woes on carrier spending, and insisted its performance is in-line with that of peers. (PR) 2 Comments [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]

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]
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, April 11, 9:43 AM In addition to announcing it's acquiring CyOptics, Avago (AVGO -0.3%) is creating a 20M-share buyback authorization (good for repurchasing 8% of shares) to replace a 15M-share authorization that just expired. CyOptics, which had 2012 sales of $210M and relies on an advanced material known as indium phosphide, lowers Avago's dependence on its wireless chip business (over half of sales), and makes the company a tougher optical component rival to JDS Uniphase (JDSU) and Finisar (FNSR). Avago asserts CyOptics' products strengthen its hand in the 40G/100G space, an area Cisco and Intel are also interested in. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
Wednesday, April 10, 11:04 AM Adtran's (ADTN +13%) Q1 beat is contributing to strong gains in telecom equipment, chip, and component stocks, as investors take it as another sign of improving telecom capex going into earnings season. Adtran's remarks about strong demand from both U..S. and international carriers can't be hurting. CSCO +2.5%. CIEN +6.4%. JDSU +4.6%. ALU +4.6%. FN +4.8%. FNSR +6%. PKT +4.2%. RKUS +4.2%. JNPR +3.9%. CAVM +3%. INFN +2.9%. OCLR +4%. SONS +2.5%. 2013 has seen a string of rallies (I, II, III) tied to capex hopes. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Friday, April 5, 9:51 AM The bloodletting in enterprise IT and telecom equipment names that followed F5's March quarter warning yesterday afternoon has spread, with some telecom component/chip names now among the companies getting hit hard. This morning's weak NFP report certainly isn't helping matters. JDSU -5%. CVLT -6.1%. EZCH -4.5%. INFA -3.9%. QLIK -3.9%. MLNX -3.6%. CAVM -8.5%. RKUS -5%. FTNT -3.9%. FNSR -6%. Comment!

Thursday, March 21, 2:14 PM Telecom equipment/optical component names underperform following FBR's Cisco/Juniper downgrades, as investors mull the impact of lower demand for switches/routers among service providers and enterprises on demand for complementary hardware and the parts that go into it. Given software-defined networking (the main reason for FBR's downgrade) will have a limited impact on hardware use on many carrier networks, is the Street overreacting? JDSU -4.2%. FNSR -3.3%. CIEN -3.8%. ADTN -3.1%. ALU -2.7%. ADTN -3.1%. SONS -4.7%. INFN -2.6%. FFIV -2.3%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Monday, March 18, 2:31 PM JDS Uniphase (JDSU -1.4%) and Oclaro (OCLR -1.7%) are off modestly after Cisco (CSCO) announces a 100G silicon optical transceiver it claims offers a 70%+ cut in space/power needs relative to traditional solutions. A 100G line card for a Cisco optical transmission/switching system will be the first product to use one, but the networking giant promises "future routing and switching line cards" will also rely on them. JDS, Oclaro, and Finisar (FNSR +0.1%) have all been pressured by concerns over the adoption of silicon photonics tech, but opinions vary about the near-term impact. Comment! [Tech]
Thursday, March 14, 10:05 AM Telecom equipment and component makers trade higher after China Mobile (the world's largest carrier) forecasts a 49% Y/Y increase in capex in 2013 to a hefty RMB190.2B ($30.6B). Vodafone and France Telecom's plans to build a fiber network in recession-hit Spain might not be hurting either. FNSR +6.6%. ALU +2.9%. JNPR +2%. OCLR +4.8%. CIEN +1.5%. JDSU +1.5%. ALLT +3.3%. ERIC +1.2%. 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]
Thursday, March 7, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: HIMX +36%. NQ +17%. CIEN +15%. MTSL +12%. FNSR +9%. HZNP +8%. EDAP +8%. WFR +7%. DANG +6%. INFN +6%. JDSU +6%. INVE +6%. MLNX +5%.
Losers: JRCC -14%. AV -11%. SCTY -8%. PETM -8%. DRYS -7%. NBG -5%. Comment! [On the Move]
