Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Plexus Corp. stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Plexus reported third-quarter 2017 results, wherein both earnings and revenues beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, both the metrics registered declines years over year. Plexus’ performance continues to be marred by weakness in Communications segment. Customer concentration and stiffening competition remain other areas of concern. The company has underperformed the broader market in the past one year. However, Plexus is likely to benefit from increasing project wins, streamlining of operations and strong cash flow generation abilities over the long run. Moreover, it expects revenues from communications sector to be up in the current quarter driven by increasing end-market demand." (7/25/2017)
• 2. Royal Bank Of Canada analysts commented, "The Company saw a demand pull-in during the Dec-qtr along with some push-outs from Mar-qtr to Jun-qtr. Overall, this was an industry phenomenon in the Communications segment and does not appear to be customer specific within Comms (one major customer push-out in Industrial/Commercial)." (1/19/2017)
