What are Wall Street analysts saying about Commscope stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Commscope stock:
- 1. Northland Securities analysts commented, "We believe that weakness was well known and fully priced into the shares heading in, and while our FY20 numbers come down, we continue to find the shares compellingly valued in front of multi year 5G, optical transport/backhaul and Remote PHY upgrades likely to gain steam in CY20." (8/9/2019)
- 2. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We reduce our 12-month price target to $16 and maintain a buy rating. We believe COMM stock can see appreciation with strong execution, but the acquired dilution from Arris now appears a sizable anchor for the company." (8/9/2019)
- 3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "CommScope is optimizing its excellent customer relationships and market position as telecom service providers continue to build their networks to increase capacity and coverage. The company is actively developing solutions to support the wireline and wireless network convergence for seamless 5G deployment. Moreover, the acquisition of ARRIS has allowed CommScope to benefit from the rapidly changing network and technology architectures with a unique set of complementary assets and capabilities to enable end-to-end communications. However, simmering tensions between the United States and China related to trade restrictions and tariff war pose significant threat to the top line. Higher operating expenses are likely to prove detrimental to margins and profitability. Lower return of capital remains another concern for the company." (6/4/2019)
