		<description><![CDATA[We are upgrading our recommendation on ADTRAN Inc. (ADTN) to Outperform based on strong fundamentals. Fourth quarter earnings strongly outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate and year-ago results on record high revenue. ADTRAN&#8217;s three growth products are constantly delivering record revenues and are expected to doing so continuously in future. We believe the company is well positioned for strong growth in 2011 driven by mobile backhaul demand, TA 5000 rollouts, market share gains, new product offerings, continued Internet-working momentum, strong international ramp and growing service revenue. Additionally, ADTRAN has a strong balance sheet with no long-term debt and is committed to return value to shareholders through dividends. These positive factors will offset the major risk pertaining to the company&#8217;s largest customer, Qwest. ADTRAN INC (ADTN): Free Stock Analysis Report Zacks Investment ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are initiating coverage on ADTRAN Inc. (ADTN) with a Neutral rating. Currently, the stock has a Zacks #2 Rank (Buy). We believe ADTRAN is benefiting from several new product cycles in broadband access, fiber to the node, Ethernet over copper, optical and enterprise VoIP. The increasing adoption of the TA5000 platform has resulted in incremental market opportunities and share gains that are likely to continue in future. However, competitive pressure, regulatory environment, higher credit risk and customer concentration make us cautious on the stock. We believe the company’s rich balance sheet, policy of returning cash to shareholders, several broadband upgrades, access product lines such as the TA5000 platform, 1100 and 1200 series products and wireless backhaul products make it attractive for investors. ADTRAN is poised to benefit from the ]]></description>
