Market Focus11-12

On November 12, Applied Optoelectronics fell 4.05% in After-Hours Trading, trading at $53.62/share, with turnover of $18.76 million.

The move followed a pullback after the stock’s earlier surge, as investors continued to balance strong third-quarter earnings recovery and a new $200 million credit facility against softer fourth-quarter revenue guidance and prior target-price cuts.

Applied Optoelectronics previously reported third-quarter revenue of $269.9 million, up 128% year over year, with GAAP net income turning positive at $6.3 million and adjusted EPS of $0.17, above expectations. However, fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $385 million to $420 million was viewed as weak, and at least one firm lowered its target price to $45 while maintaining a neutral rating. The communication equipment group also softened, with Lumentum down 2.98%, Cisco down 0.38%, Arista Networks down 1.85%, Ciena down 2.37%, and Nokia Oyj down 1.53%.
