Finisar (FNSR) Provides Light Guide Post 2Q - Jefferies Remains Sidelined

Jefferies reiterated a Hold rating and $13.25 price target on Finisar (NASDAQ: FNSR) following the company's 2Q earnings report. Revenue increased 2% to $321M, above the Street's $314M. Q2 EPS hit $0.25, above Consensus of $0.23. FQ3 revenue and EPS guidance of ~$310M and $0.22 were below Consensus ($319M, $0.24).

Analyst James Kisner commented, "Q2 results were solid driven chiefly by Telecom strength; the big surprise was T-XFP, but WSS/ROADM was also strong. Another positive was the early ramp of 100G QSFP28 in Datacom. Guidance was a bit light and the company still expects a challenging front half of CY16 followed by growth driven by 100G Telecom and Datacom. We remain concerned about an increasingly competitive Datacom market. Maintain Hold."
