On July 9, Viavi Solutions rose 5.45% in pre-market trading, trading at $42.85 per share, with turnover of $64,500.
On the news front, the communication equipment sector broadly strengthened, with Applied Optoelectronics up 3.14%, Lumentum up 2.65%, Ciena up 2.27%, and Arista Networks up 1.33%, creating sector-wide momentum that lifted individual names. Viavi had previously announced a roughly $500 million common stock public offering, with net proceeds intended to repay its $450 million Term Loan B. The dilution concerns triggered a single-day plunge of over 11% on July 2, followed by multiple sessions of continued weakness, leaving the stock visibly oversold in the short term.
The current rebound is supported by recovering sector sentiment and the company's most recent fiscal quarter results that exceeded expectations. UBS previously raised its price target on the stock to $60 from $25 while maintaining a Neutral rating. With the fundamental backdrop still intact, capital appears to be flowing back into oversold names, driving a technical recovery.
