Communication technology companies have been red hot lately, with several leading names within the communication equipment industry surging triple digits year-to-date (YTD). It's an industry that, before the second half of this year, had barely received any attention.
Ciena (CIEN) witnessed a jump in share price last session on above-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions for the stock doesn't suggest further strength down the road.
Increased fiber densification, cloud focus and accelerated pace of 5G deployment should help the Zacks Communication - Components industry thrive despite short-term headwinds. GLW, CIEN and OOMA are well-positioned to make the most of the demand for seamless connectivity solutions.
