On October 22, Ciena fell 5.75% in Regular Trading, trading at USD 341.085 per share with turnover of USD 119 million.
The move coincided with broad weakness across the communication equipment and optical networking space, which directly weighed on sector sentiment and on Ciena.
Market data from the same day showed optical communications stocks broadly lower before and during trading, with Lumentum down 4.90% pre-market and later more than 7%, Applied Optoelectronics down more than 6% pre-market and later about 8%, while Arista Networks, Cisco, and Nokia also declined. As a supplier of optical networking, routing, switching, and automation software serving cloud providers and telecom operators, Ciena appears highly sensitive to sector-wide risk-off moves.
