Viav Solutions (VIAV) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Viavi Solutions is positioned for growth and margin expansion, driven by the Spirent acquisition and strong NSE segment momentum. Q1 FY26 results showed 26% YoY revenue growth, 60% non-GAAP gross margin, and 15.7% operating margin, reflecting structural improvements. Spirent assets add ~$200M annual run-rate, diversify revenue streams, and enhance margin stability by increasing exposure to higher-quality lab and security testing.
Viav Solutions (VIAV) is at a 52-week high, but can investors hope for more gains in the future? We take a look at the company's fundamentals for clues.
