Ciena's (CIEN) three-year outlook is better than expected amid accelerating order momentum, BofA Securities said in a note Friday.
"Stabilizing demand at North American SPs and Hyperscalers' AI bandwidth needs is driving accelerated order momentum," BofA said in the report. SPs refer to service providers.
"The 3-year outlook seems brighter than we had anticipated, and we model 9.5% FY25 revenue growth vs. our prior 8% estimate."
Ciena is also increasing its share of the optical networking market outside of China, the report said, adding that it holds around 60% of the 800G coherent optical equipment ports, a market that is set to grow substantially.
BofA upgraded the stock to buy from neutral and raised its price objective to $95 from $70.
