Zacks restated their neutral rating on shares of JDS Uniphase Corp. (NASDAQ:JDSU) in a report released on Friday, AnalystRatings.NET reports. Zacks currently has a $12.00 price objective on the stock.
Zacks’ analyst wrote, “JDS Uniphase reported mixed financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The bottom line was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate while the top line surpassed the same. Sluggish capital expenditure by the carriers and weaker outlook provided by JDS Uniphase may act as headwind for the company going forward. The stock price is fairly valued at current levels and is trading at a 52-week high. However, JDS Uniphase’s newly-launched products coupled with the acquisition of Network Instruments and Arieso are the long-term positives for the company. Moreover, higher Internet usage and associated applications has spurred demand for components and modules used in 3G/4G high-speed communication networks, benefiting JDSU in the long run. We expect this trend to continue and therefore, reiterate our long-term Neutral recommendation on JDS Uniphase.”
