MKM Partners maintains a 'Neutral' on Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) price target of $16.00 (from $19.00).
Analyst, Michael Genovese, said, "We expect Juniper to report solid 2Q12 results near the mid-point of guidance and consensus (MKM=$1.043bn/$0.16, Consensus = $1.048bn/$0.16). The 3Q12 revenue guide should be up (we model up 3% q/q) but by less than the 6% forecast by consensus."
Overall, Genovese expects Juniper's customers to spend more in the 2H vs. 1H, but still see the ramp restrained. Channel checks indicate Verizon (NYSE: VZ) was a solid customer, but AT&T (NYSE: T) reduced core spending. All in, he sees second half (2012) revenues up 7.7% (vs. first half), but this figure is below the 11.3% consensus estimate.
FY12 EPS estimate cut from $0.82 to $0.77 and FY13 from $1.18 to $1.08.
