UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on CIENA (NASDAQ: CIEN) price target lowered from $16 to $13.50.

UBS analyst says, "We expect CIEN to report in-line results vs. estimates of $453M in sales and $0.08 in pro-forma EPS, slightly above street consensus of $450M/$0.07. We believe CIEN saw a sequential improvement across most product lines, with strength in CESD. We believe, however, that CIEN will likely see a more normal flat to down seasonal 1Q12 (January quarter). We are slightly below the street estimates for 1Q at $451M and $0.08 vs. $459M and $0.10."

"We are lowering our fiscal 2012 estimates to $1.902B (+9%) in sales and $0.65 in pro-forma EPS, down from $1.917B (+10%) and $0.70. Our estimates are slightly below consensus sales and EPS of $1.937B (+12%) and $0.73."
