What the Analysts think about Viavi

Analyst projections of the future price of Viavi stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Fiscal Q1 revenue rose 56.9% year on year and non-GAAP operating margin reached 29.0%; management forecasts Q2 revenue of $505–515 million and EPS of $0.50–0.52. That supports a continuing growth and earnings recovery. (PR Newswire)
Viavi has begun shipping optical test products for semiconductor packaging, including co-packaged optics, and management sees this as a potential $100 million-plus opportunity within a few years. This gives the company a new growth avenue alongside current data-centre demand. (MarketBeat)
Demand for aerospace and defence products is growing, and the US Army selected Viavi’s T/Rx system for test ranges supporting drone, counter-drone and interceptor development. That adds a defence growth driver beyond data-centre spending. (VIAVI Solutions, MarketBeat)
Wireless remains the weak spot in the service-provider business, with management describing spending as anemic. A slow recovery would leave this part of the portfolio contributing little to near-term growth. (MarketBeat)
The company says its outlook depends on sustained customer capital spending in the data-centre ecosystem and continued growth in aerospace and defence. If customers delay or reduce spending, the rapid growth could prove less durable than current results suggest. (PR Newswire)
Optical Security and Performance Products is expected to decline sequentially in Q2 as demand for anti-counterfeiting and 3D-sensing products eases seasonally. That is a near-term drag even as the larger network business grows. (EarningsAPI, PR Newswire)
