On July 21, Viavi Solutions rose 5.05% in regular trading, trading at $40.86/share, with turnover of $8.27 million. The stock's gain came amid a broad-based recovery in communication equipment names as the multi-session AI hardware selloff showed clear signs of abating.

The sector demonstrated strong linkage effects, with peers Lumentum up 6.18%, Applied Optoelectronics up 7.15%, Nokia up 5.26%, and Arista Networks up 3.31%. Investment bank Stifel previously identified Viavi as a name whose earnings revision magnitude could outpace valuation multiple compression, positioning it favorably in the current recovery phase.

Multiple company-specific catalysts have also supported the rebound. Viavi recently secured $1.1 million in EU funding for the Shield-6G project to develop an AI-driven cyber threat intelligence platform for 6G networks. Additionally, its Xgig platform for PCIe 6.0 testing received Gold Suite acceptance from PCI-SIG for global compliance testing, and the company launched an Ultra Ethernet Transport validation solution targeting hyperscalers deploying next-generation AI networks. The company is scheduled to report fiscal Q3 earnings on August 5.
