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 reported better-than-expected results in third-quarter 2018, wherein both the top line and the bottom line surpassed the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company remains optimistic about the potential of its MX5G offerings, which it plans to begin shipping early next year. Juniper is excited about new and expanding partnerships with firms like Nutanix and Ericsson as this will provide competitive edge over alternative offerings. Juniper is on the verge of introducing the industry’s first 400-gig product and is well positioned to gain incremental market share as cloud, service provider and enterprise customers look to meet surging bandwidth requirements. The stock has outperformed the industry in the past three months on an average. However, considering Juniper’s broad exposure to service provider market, the ongoing consolidations could increase uncertainties and restrict its revenue growth over the long term." (10/26/2018)
- 2. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We expect JNPR to meet or exceed 3Q18 guidance on a surge in Verizon (VZ: NR) capi- tal spending on its metro upgrade program but we see consensus estimates for 4Q18 and FY19 as too aggressive. We expect JNPR to continue to see headwinds and declin- ing YoY sales in service provider routing outside of VZ and a resumption of YoY routing sales growth in its cloud segment to net-out to flattish routing sales and declining gross margins in its largest and most profitable product line. Modest (low – to mid- single digit%) YoY growth in switching, security, and services could enable JNPR to eek out very low single digit YoY topline growth, but our +1% FY19 revenues estimates are ~2% lower than consensus. Further, we expect continued pricing and top line pressure to drive gross margin weakness and earnings below consensus over 4Q18 through FY19." (10/14/2018)
