		<description><![CDATA[Ciena Corp. (CIEN) is scheduled to release its fourth quarter 2011 results before the opening bell on December 8, 2011. In the run-up to the earnings release, no major variation in analysts’ estimates was noticed. Prior-Quarter Recap In third quarter of 2011, Ciena narrowed its losses significantly on the back of revenue growth across its business segments, a favorable product mix and lower operating expenses. Current Quarter Expectations Ciena expects fourth quarter 2011 revenues in the range of $440.0 million to $460.0 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was $ 475.0 million when the company reported results but has since been revised to $455 million, taking into account the disappointing guidance.

		<description><![CDATA[Reports of a possible resolution to Greece’s debt crisis put the market on track for a finish in the green. Combined with mixed economic reports, this development helped benchmarks end their six-week losing streak. A decline in oil prices lifted the indices higher, but losses for the technology sector limited gains and the tech-heavy Nasdaq ended lower. Analysts also did not rule out a continuing bearish trend in the market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) moved above the psychological 12,000 level, gaining 0.4% to settle at 12,004.36. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) increased 0.3% and closed at 1,271.50. However, the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index slipped 0.3% to finish the day at 2,616.48. The Dow and the S&#38;P 500 managed to avoid their seventh straight week of losses ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) plans to initiate 100G (gigabits per second) technology on selected parts of the U.S. network by the end of the second quarter of 2011. The network segments include Chicago to New York, Sacramento to Los Angeles and Minneapolis to Kansas City. Verizon&#8217;s launch of 100G technology in the U.S. will use Juniper Networks Inc.’s (JNPR) routers and CIENA Corp.’s (CIEN) 100G coherent optical transport solution. The network upgrade will increase the speed and bandwidth capacity within Verizon’s US interconnected networks. Verizon already deployed 100G in some parts of Europe earlier this month. The company is also expected to use Juniper and CIENA equipment for its 100G deployment in Europe this year.

The S&#38;P 500 has gained 95.4% since it slid to 676.53 on March 9, 2009. However, continuing unrest in the Persian Gulf and concerns over the conflict spreading to other oil rich nations continued to create apprehensions among investors. Technology stocks also weighed heavy on the indices following a weak outlook from Texas Instruments. The volatile fear gauge, CBOE Volatility Index rose above 20 and the advance decline ratio on the New York Stock Exchange was evenly balanced. On the NYSE, Nasdaq and AMEX, consolidated volumes were roughly 7.04 billion shares, below the daily average volumes of 8.47 billion of last year. The Dow ]]></description>

We’ve heard a lot about healthcare, financials and automakers. Heck, even the rare earth area has received some press. But one sector has quietly lurked in the shadows. And because it’s not getting as much attention as it should, few people are talking about the momentum that’s building. I’m talking about technology. The tech sector is booming right now. But the boom, in our opinion, has only just begun… The Top Tech Sector All-Stars Take chipmakers and semiconductor companies like ARM Holdings, Entropic and MIPS, for example.

		<description><![CDATA[We are lowering our price target to $13.00 from our previous $17.00 for Ciena Corp. (CIEN). Although we anticipate a recovery in 2011, Ciena could exhibit high volatility due to the lack of a near-term visibility, integration related risk Incorporatedreased expenses, continued losses and intensifying competition. Additionally, we believe that the possibility of a slowdown in carrier capital spending is likely to dampen results in the near term. Our long-term Neutral recommendation, however, remains in place. Ciena’s most important competitor, Cisco Systems (CSCO), recently launched a carrier routing system called CRS 3 that would enable data transfer speeds of up to 322 terabits per second (tbps), significantly higher than the 92 tbps of CRS-1, which is currently used by many of the major carriers around the world. This could lead ]]></description>

Ciena has made a series of acquisitions to expand its addressable market and enter new growth markets. Ciena will take over Nortel’s long-haul optical transport portfolio, metro optical Ethernet switching and transport solutions, Ethernet transport, aggregation and switching technology, multiservice SONET/SDH product families and network management software products.

(CIEN), the telecommunications equipment maker has been removed from the S&#38;P 500 index and has been included in the S&#38;P MidCap 400, replacing Blyth Inc. (BTH). Visa (V) will replace Ciena in the S&#38;P 500 Index. After the announcement, Ciena shares fell 6.64%, as negative investor sentiments loomed on the stock. The S&#38;P 500 Index includes companies with market capital of above $5 billion. Since Ciena has a market cap of $1 billion, it is no longer a representative of the market index and thus has been removed.

		<description><![CDATA[Ciena Corporation (CIEN) results (both revenue and earnings per share) for the fourth quarter beat Zacks Consensus Estimates. The company posted better-than-expected results amid cautious consumer spending and weak demand. The more stable macro-economic environment helped the company deliver sequential growth. Revenue of $176.3 million was down 1.9% year over year but increased 7.0% sequentially, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $163.0 million. This was better than the company’s guidance of sequentially flat revenue. Revenue for the quarter included $149.1 million in product revenue, which was flat from the year-ago period, and $27.2 million in services revenue, which was down 8.9% year over year.

		<description><![CDATA[The telecommunications network specialist Ciena Corp. (CIEN) is set to announce its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on Dec 10. Though market conditions have improved, Ciena expects continued lumpiness in results, as customers are still spending cautiously. As a result, the company guided fourth-quarter revenues to be flat sequentially. Operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis for the fourth quarter are expected to be in the $80-$85 million range. The company expects higher prototype costs in the coming quarter. While pricing remains competitive, the company expects to sustain gross margins in the mid to high 40% range in the near term. We expect the Nortel Network Corp.&#8216;s (NT) deal to be greatly beneficial for Ciena’s business. Ciena acquired the Notel’s optical networking and carrier Ethernet business for a total consideration of $769 million. ]]></description>

Severe economic recession has forced the telecom carriers to significantly reduce their capital expenditures and network upgrade plans throughout the world. This situation has resulted in a huge fall in the top-line of almost all the major telecom equipment manufacturers globally. However, we believe Nokia Siemens Network (NSN) is suffering the major part of it. The company is the second largest telecom infrastructure developer of the world with 20% market share. Despite this, it has a very limited presence in the most lucrative North American markets. NSN first tried to enter this market in a big way by means of purchasing the lucrative CDMA assets of now bankrupt ]]></description>

The deal is subject to a competitive bidding process. Nokia Siemens Networks, a joint venture between Nokia (NOK) and Siemens AG (SI) and a private equity firm One Equity Partners have jointly bid for Nortel’s optical networking and carrier Ethernet business challenging Ciena Corporation’s (CIEN) bid for the assets. The telecommunication and network specialist Ciena offered a total of $521 million ($390 million in cash and 10 million in shares) to Nortel for acquiring substantially all of its MEN division. We believe that the deal has strong growth potential for Ciena’s rapidly expanding metro Ethernet business and optical networking products. The Nortel deal would be the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ciena Corporation (CIEN) announced better-than-expected results for the third quarter ended July 31 amid cautious consumer spending and weak demand. However, the more stable macro economic environment helped it deliver sequential growth, although year over year comparisons have been weak. Revenue of $164.8 million was down 34.9% year over year but increased 14.4% sequentially and beat the Zacks Consensus estimate of $156.0 million. Revenue for the quarter included $139.9 million in product revenue, which was down 37.4% from the year-ago period, and $24.9 million in services revenue, down 15.8% year over year. Ciena narrowed its non-GAAP (excluding one-time and non-cash items) net loss for the quarter to 5 cents from a net loss of 25 cents in the previous quarter. This was, however, down from the year-ago period of a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ciena Corp. (CIEN) is expected to announce third-quarter on Sept. 3. Based on improved order flow, the company expects to deliver sequential revenue growth. Gross margin is expected to be in the mid-to-high 40% range. However, higher-than-expected prototype costs are likely to affect quarterly results. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the low $80 million range. The company sees its tax obligation to be mostly related to non-US regions. Ciena’s second-quarter results were disappointing as the sales cycle lengthened due to cautious spending by Tier 1 carriers, given the economic uncertainty. The company’s data networking remained weak. This indicates that Ciena would be better off continuing with its strength in optical products such as core switching rather than diverting attention to data networking such as Ethernet. The company’s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month, Opnext Inc. (OPXT) reported revenues of $85.3 million in its fiscal first quarter, up 1.3% year over year and 2.0% sequentially. The company experienced a rebound in 10G sales in both datacom and telecom applications. 40G sales returned to more normalized levels following the spike in demand in the previous quarter. The top three customers – Ciena Corp. (CIEN) Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) and Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) – accounted for 57.6% of total sales. Increased sales to Ciena and Cisco were partially offset by decreased sales to Nokia Siemens. Gross margin (excluding acquisition related costs and stock based compensation expense) came in at 23.2% compared to 13.5% in the March quarter and 32.3% in the year-ago quarter. The sequential improvement in margin was due to the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have a neutral rating on Ciena Corp. (CIEN), as the company&#8217;s FlexSelect platform has been gaining momentum. It allows carriers to transition networks to carrier grade Ethernet. We believe the acquisition of World Wide Packets will further strengthen its base. The provider of optical networking equipment, software and services diversified beyond emerging carriers, and now counts the world&#8217;s largest telecom service providers as its customers Incorporatedluding Verizon (VZ), AT&#38;T (T), BT Group (BT) and Qwest Communications (Q). Ciena&#8217;s cost cutting efforts will trim operating expenses, helping it achieve breakeven results in the coming quarters. Moreover, the company has a healthy balance sheet with improving cash metrics. The company exited the current quarter with $922.6 million in cash and short-term investments, compared to $917.0 million in the previous quarter. Long-term ]]></description>
