What are Wall Street analysts saying about Juniper Networks stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Juniper Networks stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Juniper faces stiff competition in each of its served markets. Uncertain global macro environment and anticipation of potentially weak investment patterns among customers remain major headwinds for the company. Considering Juniper’s broad exposure to the service provider market, the ongoing consolidations could increase uncertainties and restrict its revenue growth over the long term. Net revenues for first-quarter 2018 decreased on lower demand for routing and switching products. The stock has underperformed the industry in the past year on an average. However, Juniper’s product launches, cost reduction initiatives and diligent execution of operational plans are encouraging. Juniper is set to capitalize on the growing demand for data center virtualization, cloud computing and mobile traffic packet/optical convergence and remains confident of returning to a growth trajectory by the end of the year." (5/18/2018)
- 2. Robert W. Baird analysts commented, "We are adjusting our estimates lower for FQ1 and reviewing thoughts in front of the FQ4 print. We continue to be mixed to negative regarding Juniper’s competitive position but valuation is modest and investor sentiment is low. We view tax reform as a positive and Cloud exposure as a wild card for Juniper in 2018." (1/23/2018)
