On August 6, Viavi Solutions fell 5.44% in regular trading, trading at $39.14/share, with turnover of $39.03 million.
On the news front, the company reported fiscal Q4 adjusted EPS of $0.34, beating the consensus estimate of $0.30, while revenue of $443.1 million also topped expectations of $432.6 million. Additionally, fiscal Q1 guidance called for adjusted EPS of $0.40 to $0.42 on revenue of $450 million to $460 million, significantly above analyst expectations of $0.28 EPS on $432.2 million revenue.
Despite the strong beat-and-raise quarter, Viavi Solutions had surged over 5% to 7% the trading session prior to the earnings release, driven by broad optical communications sector strength and pre-earnings positioning by bulls. The current decline primarily reflects profit-taking pressure following the rapid pre-earnings run-up. B. Riley adjusted its price target to $60 from $63 while maintaining a Buy rating, with the average analyst target standing at $61.43.
