On September 8, Ciena rose 5.33% in regular trading, trading at $337.36 per share, with turnover of $239 million.
On the news front, Goldman Sachs recently published an in-depth report on the global optical module industry, significantly raising its market forecast. The investment bank now projects the global optical module market to reach approximately $148.5 billion by 2028, representing a 115% upward revision from its prior estimate. Shipment forecasts for 1.6T and above ultra-high-speed optical modules were raised by 29% to 61%. As a leading global optical networking equipment provider, Ciena stands to benefit directly from the accelerating industry expansion.
The bullish sentiment follows Ciena's strong fiscal Q3 results reported on September 3, in which adjusted EPS came in at $2.11, surging 215% year-over-year and beating the consensus estimate of $1.73 by roughly 22%. The company also raised its full-year fiscal revenue guidance to $6.42 billion, above the Street's $6.34 billion expectation. The broader optical communications sector rallied in sympathy, with Lumentum up 9.39% and Applied Optoelectronics up 8.91%.
