$%^&**AFOP... mentioned in its SEC Form 10-K it had more than 20 competitors and named five of them: JDS Uniphase Corp. (JDSU), Oclaro Inc. (OCLR), Oplink Communications Inc. (OPLK), the privately held Senko Advanced Components Inc., and TE Connectivity Ltd. (TEL).



WOW...never seen this one...
Jan 7th Zacks...One stock that might be an intriguing choice for investors right now is Oclaro, Inc. (OCLR). This is because this security in the fiber optics space is seeing solid earnings estimate revision activity, and is in great company from a Zacks Industry Rank perspective.

This is important because, often times, a rising tide will lift all boats in an industry, as there can be broad trends taking place in a segment that are boosting securities across the board. This is arguably taking place in the fiber optics space as it currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 8 out of more than 250 industries, suggesting it is well-positioned from this perspective, especially when compared to other segments out there.

Meanwhile, Oclaro is actually looking pretty good on its own too. The firm has seen solid earnings estimate revision activity over the past month, suggesting analysts are becoming a bit more bullish on the firm’s prospects in both the short and long term.

In fact, over the past month, current quarter estimates was flat at a loss of 27 cents per share, while current year estimates have narrowed from a loss of $1.01 per share to a loss of 98 cents per share. OCLR currently holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), which is a favorable signal.

So, if you are looking for a decent pick in a strong industry, consider Oclaro. Not only is its industry currently in the top third, but it is seeing solid estimate revisions as of late, suggesting it could be a very interesting choice for investors seeking a name in this great industry segment.
