Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) price target of $24.00.

Analyst, Glenn Hanus, said, "JNPR reported 1Q results above original cautious guidance and offered 2Q revenue outlook largely in line with Street but with lower GM% and OpM%. Despite the macro uncertainty, softer Capex, and recent quarterly misses, we maintain our rating as we believe new product launches/cycles and any material pickup in service provider Capex should eventually lead to improving results."

Needham lowers FY12 EPS estimate from $0.96 to $0.82 and FY13 from $1.26 to $1.13.
