Watching Juniper Networks; Shares Move Lower As Traders Circulate Research Report Suggesting DOJ Examining Depositions Of Hewlett Packard Enterprise And Juniper Networks' Executives And Third-Party CID Responses, Preparing To Decide Case As Early As Next Week

Shares of Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) climbed on Monday, with its rally expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/10/41513330/cisco-why-analysts-are-targeting-35-gains-by-christmas">to carry through year-end</a> as the company prepares to announce Q1 earnings on Wednesday.
Despite the company's shares adding 28% since mid-August, versus 10% gains in the S&amp;P 500, the stock has "further headroom for upside in the medium term," according to JPMorgan.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ac4af2b85e930001e6383f/samik-chatterjee">Analyst Samik Chatterjee</a> upgraded the rating for Cisco Systems from Neutral to Overweight, while raising the price target from $55 to $66.
The Cisco Systems Thesis: Expectations of a recovery in the Networking market in 2025 are supported by the recent earnings releases by Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNPR#NYSE">JNPR</a>) and Extreme Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXTR#NASDAQ">EXTR</a>), Chatterjee said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Both companies highlighted "encouraging signs" related to customer demand and activity, which suggests that "a Networking recovery is underway," he added.
"Importantly, Cisco being the bellwether of the Networking market should not only benefit from the improving demand signs in the underlying market, but also benefit from better leverage on the recovery given recent workforce reductions through the course of 2024 (~10k employees in total), driving our conviction for the company being well-positioned to drive earnings upside over the next twelve months," the analyst wrote.
The company is now re-focusing on Security, which has expanded from less than 10% of total product revenue to "being on track to account for almost 20% or greater" and is a "positive wild card" that must be watched, he stated.
CSCO Price Action: Shares of Cisco Systems were up 1.4% to $58.95 at the time of publication Monday.

Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jnpr#NYSE">JNPR</a>) recently announced that JATCO Ltd., one of the major players in the automotive transmission industry, has selected JNPR&#39;s AI native networking portfolio to upgrade its WiFi network. JNPR&#39;s offerings include Mist AI, which harnesses data science and machine learning capabilities to ensure network performance optimization.
JATCO has deployed Juniper AP43 and Juniper AP63 Access Points to leverage the power of Juniper purpose-built AIOps(Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations). The AP43 high-performance WiFi 6 access points efficiently analyze data collected for all wireless clients in real time. This allows for swift problem detection, and root cause identification and delivers predictive recommendations to accelerate the troubleshooting process. The Juniper AP63 is a highly durable and weather-resistant access point. The solution offers real-time network insights, location services, and automated network operations. This leading-edge feature suite makes the JNPR access points suitable for multiple deployment scenarios including large-scale manufacturing facilities.
JATCO, owned by Nissan, Mitsubishi Motors, and Suzuki, commenced its operation in 1970. The company specializes in Continuously Variable Transmissions for vehicles with legacy internal combustion engines. Leveraging its deep expertise in advanced industrial technology, the company is aiming to mass produce electric powertrains aligning with a worldwide shift toward sustainable transportation and growing adoption of electric vehicles. However, with expanding operations, JATCO is facing several difficulties in supporting frontline sites such as production factories and back offices with its existing WiFi infrastructure. Its outdated WiFi system requires constant troubleshooting, which is pushing up the operational cost and hindering efficiency.
Juniper&#39;s industry-leading AI-powered networking solution has effectively addressed these operational challenges. It has simplified network management, reduced configuration errors, and freed up IT personnel to focus on innovation. The system&#39;s secure, high-quality connections deliver consistent and reliable performance to employees. The upgrades significantly improved cost efficiency and productivity, bolstering return on investment. Experiencing its effectiveness in back office operations, JATCO eventually plans to integrate the JNPR solution across its entire network.
<h2>Will This Collaboration Drive JNPR&#39;s Share Price Performance?</h2>
Juniper&#39;s recent collaboration with JATCO reflects a broader industry trend where enterprises are expediting digital transformation and network modernization initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and boost competitive edge. Juniper&#39;s comprehensive portfolio of AI native networking solutions is witnessing solid market traction owing to this trend. Recently, South Korea-based lighting technology firm Seoul Semiconductor also deployed JNPR&#39;s networking solution. However, the impending buyout by HP Enterprise is expected to be the prime factor determining Juniper&#39;s stock price movement.
<h2>JNPR&#39;s Stock Performance</h2>
Shares of Juniper have gained 53.4% over the past year compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 61.1%.

Reported Earlier, Juniper Networks Powers JATCO's Global Operations With AI-Native Wi-Fi

Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jnpr#NYSE">JNPR</a>) recently announced that Seoul Semiconductor has deployed its cutting-edge AI-Native Networking Platform. The deployment by this South Korea-based lighting technology firm aims to provide dependable and measurable wired and wireless access services that boost employee productivity while cutting operational costs. Central to this initiative is Juniper&#39;s sophisticated AI engine, Mist AI, which utilizes advanced AIOps and a microservices cloud to enhance both user and operator experiences.
<h2>How Will JNPR&#39;s Solutions Aid Seoul Semiconductor?</h2>
In today&#39;s hyper-connected, fast-paced business environment, the existing network infrastructure is facing growing pressure to facilitate ever-increasing data center workloads. Recognizing the limitations of its outdated wired and wireless infrastructure, Seoul Semiconductor decided to upgrade its hardware to address issues related to data throughput and coverage. This strategic move also aimed to alleviate inefficiencies stemming from vendor lock-in. By selecting Juniper&#39;s solutions, the company aims to achieve greater agility, automation and assurance across its network, essential for supporting its expanding operations.
The deployment of Mist AI, a key part of Juniper&#39;s AI-Native Networking Platform, is likely to enable Seoul Semiconductor to streamline its wireless operations and gain valuable insights into user experiences through service level monitoring. This integrated management solution uses a combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science techniques to optimize user experiences and simplify operations across wireless access, wired access, SD-WAN, WAN Edge, data center and security domains.
It facilitates real-time monitoring and automates network settings, significantly reducing the time required for manual troubleshooting. With a rich data science toolkit and years of reinforced learning, Mist AI can also transform insights into automated actions, enhancing overall IT and user satisfaction.
In addition, the introduction of the Marvis Virtual Network Assistant (VNA) will likely provide the IT team with an intuitive conversational interface to detect and resolve networking issues efficiently. The state-of-the-art VNA is central to Juniper&#39;s unique AI-Native Network support model and constantly ingests data and learns from network devices and applications. This ensures a wide breadth of expertise with the highest level of efficacy.
<h2>Increasing Client Base to Drive Performance for JNPR</h2>
Juniper&#39;s leading-edge AI native networking portfolio is well-suited for both traditional and emerging AI workloads. This platform equips Seoul Semiconductor to leverage data effectively, respond in real-time and maintain a resilient infrastructure, ultimately delivering superior experiences for both operators and end-users.
With a strong presence in more than 100 countries, the leading provider of networking solutions and communication devices is expected to benefit from the increasing customer base. This will likely enable the company to generate higher revenues in the upcoming quarters. Improving financial performance is likely to propel the stock upward.
<h2>JNPR&#39;s Stock Price Performance</h2>
Shares of Juniper have gained 47.4% over the past year compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 55.4%.

Ciena Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cien#NYSE">CIEN</a>) can be considered a legacy company in the computer and technology sector when it comes to the Internet. It was one of the original manufacturers of optical fiber, which provided networking switches and connectivity solutions since 1992. The company has managed to stay relevant, unlike so many internet boom companies, and remains on the cutting edge of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Ciena is essential to the AI boom as it provides one of the crucial elements required&nbsp;for&nbsp;AI deployment: high bandwidth&nbsp;and low latency connectivity.
Ciena operates in the computer and technology sector, competing with networking companies like Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/csco#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), Juniper Networks Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jnpr#NYSE">JNPR</a>), which was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hpe#NYSE">HPE</a>), and Infinera Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/infn#NASDAQ">INFN</a>) which is being acquired by Nokia Oyj (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nok#NYSE">NOK</a>).
<h2>How Ciena Is Essential to the AI Revolution </h2>
Ciena is a leader in the optical networking segment, as its products enable long-distance, high-capacity data transmission solutions for the backbones of numerous networks. Data transmission volumes will only grow, driven by AI deployment and cloud computing. Its optical transceivers enable low-latency transmission, which is essential for AI applications to relay responsiveness and fast performance. Its Blue Planet AI-powered software-defined network (SDN) enables network operators to program, automate, and manage networks, orchestrate end-to-end services, and scale bandwidth on demand as needed.
<h2>Cloud Providers Lead the Recovery &nbsp;</h2>
Ciena is approaching positive normalization after many volatile years driven by the pandemic shortage and post-pandemic inventory glut. Cloud providers are leading the recovery, building out networks to support cloud and growing AI traffic.&nbsp;Data centers are a big chunk of Ciena&#39;s cloud provider clients. Three of the four major cloud providers are driving demand for Ciena&#39;s 400 ZR, a high-capacity datacenter interconnect (DCI) capable of transmitting 400 GB ethernet over DCI links, targeting a minimum of 80 kilometers.
Ciena&#39;s other client group, service providers, is experiencing a gradual recovery as the inventory glut is digested. Ciena still expects the U.S. to recover fully in a few quarters, while Europe continues to lag due to geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds.
<h2>Gloomy Headline Numbers Underscore Improving Metrics </h2>
Ciena&#39;s third-quarter of 2024 earnings report was a sign of relief as results underscore the recovery occurring, enabling a turnaround after many negative quarters. The company reported EPS of 35 cents, beating analyst expectations by 6 cents. GAAP net income was $14.2 million, down from $29.7 million last year. Adjusted net income was $50.8 million, which was also lower than the $89.1 million non-GAAP income in the year-ago period. Revenue fell 11.8% YoY to $942.3 million, which was better than expected compared to the consensus estimates of $928.31 million. Ciena reported a strong book-to-bill ratio above 1, indicating stronger demand that it can fulfill.
<h2>Ciena Issues Flat Guidance </h2>
Ciena expects revenues of $1.06 billion to $1.14 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024 versus $1.12 billion in consensus estimates. Adjusted gross margin is expected to be in the low 40% range, and adjusted operating expenses are expected to be around $350 million. Full-year 2024 revenues are estimated at around $4 billion, with a 4% to 8% CAGR long-term. CIEN stock tumbled 7% the following days.
Ciena CEO Gary Smith commented, &quot;We delivered strong results for the fiscal third quarter that reflect growing momentum with cloud providers and continued gradual recovery with service providers. With leading innovation that is well-aligned with our customers&#39; focus on building cloud and AI-capable infrastructures, we are well-positioned to continue to gain share and deliver profitable growth.&quot;
On Oct. 2, 2024, Ciena announced a $1 billion stock buyback program commencing in fiscal 2025 and ending in fiscal 2027. CIEN stock surged 7% on the announcement.
<h2>CIEN Is Forming a Potential ABCD Reversal Pattern </h2>
An ABCD pattern is a harmonic reversal pattern comprised of two higher peaks and one higher low. The pattern resembles a rising lightning bolt. A market structure high (MSL) sell trigger often triggers the reversal.
<img alt="Ciena CIEN stock chart" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20241006191744_charta-cien.jpg" style="height:753px; width:915px" />
CIEN stock initially sold off on its earnings report and guidance to a swing low of $50.83, forming the C-point. Shares rallied higher through the B-point pre-earnings peak at $59.42 to continue higher toward an imminent D-point, which could trigger a reversal. The daily anchored VWAP support is rising at $56.78. The daily relative strength index (RSI) is rising to the 75-band. Fibonacci (Fib) pullback support levels are at $62.91, $57.69, $53.76, and $50.83. 
Ciena&#39;s average consensus price target is $61.00, and its highest analyst price target&nbsp;is&nbsp;$68.00.&nbsp;Analysts have given it 10 Buy ratings and three Hold ratings.

Citigroup Reinstates Neutral on Juniper Networks, Announces $40 Price Target

Juniper Networks Announced A Strategic Investment In Quantum Bridge Technologies, An Industry Leader In Distributed Symmetric Key Exchange For Post-quantum Cryptography Networks

Making its debut on 12/30/2016, smart beta exchange traded fund ALPS O&#39;Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF (BATS: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ousm#BATS">OUSM</a>) provides investors broad exposure to the Style Box - Small Cap Blend category of the market.
<h2>What Are Smart Beta ETFs?</h2>
Products that are based on market cap weighted indexes, which are strategies designed to reflect a specific market segment or the market as a whole, have traditionally dominated the ETF industry.
Because market cap weighted indexes provide a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns, they work well for investors who believe in market efficiency.
There are some investors, though, who think it&#39;s possible to beat the market with great stock selection; this group likely invests in another class of funds known as smart beta, which track non-cap weighted strategies.
This kind of index follows this same mindset, as it attempts to pick stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance; non-cap weighted strategies base selection on certain fundamental characteristics, or a mix of such characteristics.
Even though this space provides many choices to investors--think one of the simplest methodologies like equal-weighting and more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting--not all have been able to deliver first-rate results.
<h2>Fund Sponsor &amp; Index</h2>
The fund is managed by Alps. OUSM has been able to amass assets over $666.01 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Small Cap Blend. This particular fund seeks to match the performance of the FTSE Russell US Qual / Vol / Yield Factor 3% Capped Index before fees and expenses.
The OShares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend Index is designed to reflect the performance of publicly-listed small-capitalization dividend-paying issuers in the United States exhibiting high quality, low volatility and high dividend yields.
<h2>Cost &amp; Other Expenses</h2>
Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.48%, making it one of the more expensive products in the space.
OUSM&#39;s 12-month trailing dividend yield is 1.31%.
<h2>Sector Exposure and Top Holdings</h2>
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund&#39;s holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
Representing 34.40% of the portfolio, the fund has heaviest allocation to the Financials sector; Industrials and Consumer Discretionary round out the top three.
Taking into account individual holdings, Juniper Networks Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jnpr#NYSE">JNPR</a>) accounts for about 2.02% of the fund&#39;s total assets, followed by Tradeweb Markets Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tw#NASDAQ">TW</a>) and Encompass Health Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ehc#NYSE">EHC</a>).
Its top 10 holdings account for approximately 19.45% of OUSM&#39;s total assets under management.
<h2>Performance and Risk</h2>
The ETF has gained about 8.67% so far this year and is up about 16.66% in the last one year (as of 08/15/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $33.36 and $44.13.
The ETF has a beta of 1.05 and standard deviation of 16.86% for the trailing three-year period. With about 107 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
<h2>Alternatives</h2>
ALPS O&#39;Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Small Cap Blend segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.
IShares Russell 2000 ETF (ARCA:IWM) tracks Russell 2000 Index and the iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF (ARCA:IJR) tracks S&amp;P SmallCap 600 Index. IShares Russell 2000 ETF has $63.97 billion in assets, iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF has $81.88 billion. IWM has an expense ratio of 0.19% and IJR charges 0.06%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Small Cap Blend.

Is ALPS O'Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF a Strong ETF Right Now?

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) is reportedly poised to receive unconditional EU antitrust approval for its $14 billion acquisition of networking gear manufacturer Juniper Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNPR#NYSE">JNPR</a>).
The deal, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/36571415" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced in January</a>, reflects the accelerating trend among companies to enhance and innovate their products amidst the surge in AI-driven services.
The European Commission is expected to make a decision on the acquisition by August 1, Reuters reported. The commission has not provided any comments on the matter.
To address potential competition concerns within the EU, HPE is likely to emphasize the market dominance of Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), a major competitor of Juniper Networks.
This strategic move aims to mitigate any regulatory apprehensions regarding the acquisition&#8217;s impact on market competition.

The acquisition is also under review by the U.K.&#8217;s antitrust authority, with a decision expected by August 14. The outcome of these regulatory reviews will determine the finalization of the deal, which is set to impact the networking equipment industry.
The acquisition aligns with HPE&#8217;s strategy to bolster its capabilities in response to the increasing demand for AI-driven services.
By integrating Juniper Networks&#8217; technology, HPE aims to strengthen its product offerings and maintain a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
HPE has been cautious about major acquisitions, with its most significant buy being&nbsp;the $1.5 billion purchase of&nbsp;supercomputer maker&nbsp;Cray in 2019.
Price Action: HPE shares are trading lower by 1.49% at $19.47 at last check Monday.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise's $14B Juniper Networks Acquisition Set For EU Approval: Report

Hewlett Packard Expected To Secure Unconditional EU Antitrust Approval For Juniper Acquisition

After a turbulent week in the markets, the bulls reclaimed dominance on Wall Street during Friday&#8217;s session, with indices and sectors trading in positive territory as investors welcomed the latest corporate earnings results and further confirmation of inflation progressing toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">the Fed&#8217;s 2% target.</a>
In June, the Personal Consumption Expenditure price index – the Fed&#8217;s preferred measure of inflation – dropped to 2.5% year-on-year, as anticipated, marking the lowest level since February 2021. The core component slightly exceeded expectations, remaining <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/07/39987142/feds-favorite-inflation-gauge-keeps-falling-but-fed-wants-durable-downward-trend-economist-says">steady at 2.6% annually.</a>
Investors are unwavering in their expectations for a Fed interest rate cut in September, assigning it a 100% probability and factoring in nearly three cumulative rate cuts by year-end.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average led the charge on Friday, with the blue-chip index surging 1.9%, setting the stage for its strongest session this year. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 rebounded significantly, climbing 1.6%, which halted the tech sector&#8217;s decline but wasn&#8217;t enough to reverse a negative weekly close. 
The Russell 2000, as tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), also posted a solid gain of 1.3%.
Rate-sensitive sectors continued their rally, with homebuilders, as tracked by the SPDR Homebuilders ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XHB#NYSE">XHB</a>), rising over 3% for the day, reaching all-time highs and marking their third <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39988310/homebuilder-stocks-rally-to-record-highs-on-rate-cut-frenzy-but-housing-sales-still-struggle">consecutive positive weekly close.</a>
In the bond market, Treasuries rose as yields dipped slightly, especially in longer-dated maturities.
Gold also rallied, increasing by 1%, while oil prices dropped by 1%. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 2.5%, marking its second consecutive positive session after three negative ones.
