Tuesday, May 7, 7:02 PM Though Ruckus (RKUS -26.2%) claims its Q1 miss and soft guidance aren't tied to competition, "it is difficult to reconcile the implied disparity between Ruckus’ growth and that of the overall [carrier] Wi-Fi market," says Lazard, discussing its downgrade to Neutral. However, other companies, such as F5 and Fortinet, have also reported soft carrier demand for discretionary projects. Meanwhile, Raymond James thinks Ruckus and Aruba's (ARUN -22.8% - previous) warnings, along with Motorola Solutions' (MSI) guidance, suggests enterprise Wi-Fi growth is slowing. Market leader Cisco (CSCO -2%), whose Wi-Fi unit posted 27% Y/Y growth last quarter, reports on May 15. 2 Comments [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]

Wednesday, April 24, 10:12 AM A Q1 miss and soft guidance lead Motorola Solutions (MSI -9.3%) to dive.

Moreover, MSI now forecasts full-year revenue growth of 3%-4%, below a 5.3% consensus. Government sales rose 3% Y/Y in Q1 (down from +10% in Q4), while enterprise sales fell 4%, and would've dropped 12% if not for the acquisition of handheld computer vendor Psion (-3% in Q4 inc. Psion, -12% otherwise). Gross margin fell 130 bps Y/Y to 48.4%. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
