On July 28, Ciena fell 3.16% in pre-market trading, trading at $366.29/share, with turnover of $108,600.
On the news front, the optical communications sector's prior rebound failed to sustain momentum as selling pressure remained undigested, causing the sector to resume its decline. Communication equipment stocks broadly weakened, with Lumentum down 2.8%, Arista Networks down 2.16%, Nokia down 1.78%, and Cisco down 0.3%.
On fundamentals, Ciena's latest interim report showed revenue of $2.998 billion, up 36.38% year-over-year, with net income surging 588.26%. BNP Paribas previously raised its price target to $640 and maintained an outperform rating. However, short-term technical selling pressure across the sector continues to weigh on share prices, as the board had previously entered a correction phase and the attempted rebound encountered resistance.
