Ciena (CIEN) stock jumped 14% over the past week, a move that naturally tempts investors to chase momentum or rethink their exposure. The rally comes amid renewed enthusiasm around AI-driven infrastructure spending, where high-speed networking gear is becoming just as critical as GPUs.
CIEN gears up for Q1 FY26 results with 76% EPS growth expected, strong $5B backlog and AI-driven demand in focus as revenue is seen up 30% and margins steady.
CIEN's AI-driven optical growth and $5B backlog challenge CSCO's $2B+ AI orders as both capitalize on soaring network demand.
