Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about ARRIS International PLC stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "ARRIS reported better than expected earnings in the second quarter of 2017. We expect the company to perform well on the bottom line front in the third quarter too driven by its strong product portfolio. The company  expects earnings (adjusted) in the band of $0.66–$0.71 in the third quarter of 2017. ARRIS has recenty inked several deals to broaden its product portfolio. In Feb 2017, ARRIS entered into a deal with Broadcom to purchase Brocade Communication's Ruckus Wireless and ICX Switch units. The deal is expected to close by year-end. However, the company reported lower-than-expected revenues in the second quarter. Moreover, the company’s international operations are significantly exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. ARRIS is also a highly leveraged company. Shares of the company have underperformed its industry so far this year." (8/8/2017)
• 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "ARRS' 4Q call was at best a mixed bag. Positively, the company reported upside 4Q results and announced the speculated-upon acquisition of Brocade's Ruckus Wireless and campus switching products, which we estimate could be ~$0.30 accretive in C2018. Negatively, 1Q17 guidance was well below consensus, and guidance for all of '17 called for 100-200bps of potential GM pressure from supply chain cost pressures. Combined, these drive a C'17 outlook materially lower than we had previously been expecting. While disappointing, we expect ARRS results to improve as '17 progresses and mix improves, and we believe the closure of the BRCD deal with drive solid accretion in '18. As such, we maintain our Buy rating; PT to $32 (was $35), or ~11x our preliminary post-acquisition C2018 NG EPS estimate." (2/23/2017)
