Kaufman Bros. initiates coverage on Tellabs (NASDAQ: TLAB) with a Hold. PT $5.00.

Kaufman analyst says, "Our HOLD rating is based on: 1) TLAB is challenged by product transition issues; and 2) legacy infrastructure levels are declining, while growth product segments have not gained meaningful traction...As anticipated, TLAB's 2Q11 results disappointed the Street. However, international revenue was up 70% Y/Y, and a record 61% of total revenue came from growth products. That said, guidance for 3Q11 was mildly encouraging...We believe that TLAB's risk/reward profile is more likely to improve than not going forward, allowing investors to take a fresh look at the story."
