Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Juniper Networks stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Juniper's first-quarter 2017 result was driven by strong adoption of its cloud products and robust performance from the QFX switch product line. Management noted that pricing pressure, unfavorable product and customer mix along with higher DRAM memory prices will continue to hurt gross margin in the rest of 2017. Moreover lumpy router revenue growth is also a concern. Additionally, stiff competition and ongoing consolidation in the telecom market remain concerns. Despite these challenges, frequent product launches, cost reduction initiatives and improving execution are encouraging. Growing adoptions for the company’s cloud products (particualrly in data center), aggressive share buybacks and favorable dividend policy remain attractive for investors. We note that the stock has outperformed the Zacks Wireless Equipment industry on a year-to-date basis." (4/28/2017)
• 2. Robert W. Baird analysts commented, "We see the stock as fairly valued at current levels. Solid FQ4 results." (1/27/2017)
