- Ciena Could Be Strongest Performer In Sector In 2006
Credit Suisse First Boston analyst Paul Silverstein said Ciena could see "meaningful future revenue growth and profitability" from its status as a "preferred supplier" for BT Group's planned "21st Century Network."
The analyst said he expects there will be "an approximate two- to three-quarter delay between product shipment and revenue recognition by Ciena," resulting in the company recognizing revenue around the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.
-Standard & Poor's Equity Research analyst Kenneth Leon maintained a "hold" rating on Ciena after the company successfully completed contract negotiations to be a preferred supplier for BT Group's next-generation IP-based network.
Leon said in a research report that he views "BT as an important contributor to Ciena's transport and switching segment sales in fiscal 2006 (ending October)." The analyst expects that segment will be 60% of total sales.
Many reasons to keep this stock in alert.
