Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The results Ciena Corporation ( CIEN ) has published have beaten growth expectations in terms of EPS, as the consensus expected a figure around $1.46, and the final result came in at $1.64. Revenues were also above expectations, with $1.57B, representing 40% year-over-year growth, and in addition, adjusted gross margin also grew to 44.9%. As if that were not enough, management raised its revenue guidance for the full FY26 to $6.3B, as well as the operating margin, which they expect to be 19%. Is that all? Not yet; the backlog also adds $600M and now closes around $7.7B, and finally, they announced the first multi-rail order with a hyperscaler for Hyper-Rail, validating the company's roadmap, which aimed to connect several data center campuses separated by hundreds of kilometers so they could function as a single cluster for AI model training. CIEN So, why is the stock falling this way? Is it sector-related, and are we looking at an opportunity? I think that, for this, it is better to first understand where the company's growth is coming from, starting with the historical core of Optical Networking, which represents around 70% of the sales mix. Here, what CIEN does is sell the systems that move data at high speeds through its fiber optic cables and at very low latency, between points separated by a considerable number of kilometers. It mainly does this with the RLS optical line and with Waveserver, which is the platform for connecting data centers to each other and which in the sector is known as data center interconnect (DCI). Precisely this last one is experiencing the most growth, considering that the space currently needed to train an AI model from a hyperscaler is more than just a single building. So this compute capacity must be distributed across several data center campuses. So here we have the first mystery solved behind that 42% year-over-year growth to $1.1B. Then, Routing and Switching, mainly with DCOM...

wavemovies/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Wix.com ( WIX ) shares fell 13% in premarket trading Monday after the website development platform unveiled a sweeping organizational restructuring that includes a 20% workforce reduction and updated financial expectations for 2026. The company said the realignment is designed to streamline operations and reallocate resources toward its top strategic priorities. The restructuring includes scaling back or discontinuing certain activities, products, initiatives, and subsidiaries. As previously announced, approximately 1,000 employees, or 20% of the workforce, will be affected. Wix now expects fiscal 2026 free cash flow, excluding acquisition and restructuring costs, of approximately $420M, up about $20M from its prior outlook as it shifts its focus toward profitable growth. While Wix Harmony and Base44 continue to perform in line with expectations outlined in its first-quarter 2026 guidance, Wix now expects fiscal 2026 bookings to decline by approximately $50M and revenue to fall by about $25M. The company attributed the reduction to its organizational realignment and a sharper-than-expected slowdown in the growth of its Partners business during late May and early June. Wix expects the weaker revenue outlook to be more than offset by approximately $70M in non-GAAP cost-of-revenue and operating expense savings this year, incremental to its previous guidance. The company estimates the restructuring will generate approximately $150M in annualized savings, driven primarily by lower payroll and overhead costs. Filing The company expects to record approximately $30M to $35M in pre-tax restructuring charges, with the majority related to severance and employee benefits. Most of the charges are expected to be incurred in the second quarter of 2026, with cash payments occurring in the second half of the year.

DaveAlan Alaska Air Group ( ALK ) Chief Financial Officer Shane Tackett indicated over the weekend that the carrier is hopeful it can reinstate its financial guidance on its Q2 earnings conference call if fuel prices show more stability. Following the Iran-Iraq hostilities and spike in oil prices, the volatility in jet fuel costs forced Alaska Air ( ALK ) to pull its full-year outlook. Tackett noted that the fuel markets had become less volatile over the last few weeks, although prices were still swinging enough every few days that the airline company does not yet have the confidence to formalize its outlook. "We want to see a little bit more stability in the backdrop," stated Tackett to Reuters on the sidelines of the International Air Transport Association's annual meeting in Rio de Janeiro. Alaska Air Group ( ALK ) stopped buying new crude oil call options in Q4 of 2024, marking the suspension of its oil hedging program. Shares of Alaska Air ( ALK ) are down more than 14% on a year-to-date basis. More on Alaska Air Alaska Air Group, Inc.

Israel’s shekel has swung from the world’s best performer to the worst in a matter of days, easing pressure on the central bank to stem a 14-month rally that’s hurting the country’s exporters. The shekel has slumped 4% against the dollar this month, the worst performance out of more than 140 global currencies monitored by Bloomberg. In the preceding two months, it had led global gains, appreciating almost 12% to a three-decade high. That prompted the Bank of Israel to buy dollars in foreign-exchange markets for the first time in five years while signaling that more monetary easing may be in store. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Israel’s technology companies, which have mostly dollar revenues but pay costs in the local currency, have been calling on the central bank to take measures to weaken the shekel. Pressure on the Bank of Israel increased after a quarter-point interest-rate cut on May 25 failed to dent the rally. “An ongoing depreciation of the shekel may reduce the pressure for a further interest rate cut, or for additional foreign currency purchases by the Bank of Israel,” said Ronen Menachem, the chief markets economist at Mizrahi Tefahot Bank. The shekel’s recent decline came after the central bank hinted at more monetary easing, while also noting that it purchased $810 million in May to maintain the “orderly functioning of the markets.” The central bank had not purchased US dollars in the market since 2021, when it bought an unprecedented $35 billion as the shekel strengthened rapidly during the Covid pandemic. Despite the purchases last month, the shekel continued to strengthen, hitting a high of 2.80 per dollar on May 29 before retreating in June. “Based on the accelerated depreciation of the shekel in early June, the Bank of Israel might have continued its foreign exchange purchases this month,” said Leader Capital Markets’ chief economist Jonathan Katz. The shekel extended declines in early trading Monday after Israel and Iran exchanged fire for...

Government urged to help speed up vital industrial project amid growing alarm over National Grid delays Trade unions have called for the government to intervene to speed up Tata Steel’s connection to the electricity grid in south Wales, after the company said its new furnace would be delayed by up to a year. Tata Steel last month told investors that National Grid had said it would face a six- to eight-month delay. That could stretch to 12 months amid unexpected engineering difficulties.

Nenov/iStock via Getty Images By Mike Larson Sometimes the markets are complicated. Other times, they’re simple. Today, I’m going to share the one chart that explains why “everything” tanked on Friday. Here’s my MoneyShow Chart of the Day. It shows what interest rate futures markets have been pricing in for the likely level of the federal funds rate as of the Federal Reserve’s September meeting. Markets Aren’t Sure the Fed Will Stand Pat in September Any More! (Source: CME FedWatch) The lightest blue bar in the middle? It shows the probability - as of a month ago - that rates would stay at the current 3.5-3.75% range when the Fed wraps its meeting up on September 16. You can see markets assigned that outcome an 86.6% chance in early May. The darkest blue bar to its left? That shows the probability as of Friday. It was down to 58.9%. In other words, the much stronger-than-expected May jobs data shook things up big-time. After creeping up for several days, the chance of an actual Fed hike spiked at the end of last week. If there’s one thing Wall Street hates, it’s when money gets more expensive! Growth stocks typically get hit particularly hard in a rising-rate scenario. So, it’s no surprise the nascent rotation out of growth and tech stocks really accelerated to close out last week. In other markets, the Treasury yield curve flattened notably, the US dollar ripped higher, and gold and silver plunged. That’s a textbook reaction to expectations of tighter Fed policy. Don’t ignore it. Adapt. If you’re radically overweight tech, now is the time to get more exposure to other sectors. It’s what I’ve been preaching at recent MoneyShow events, and I still think it’s a good plan today! Editor's Note: The summary bullets for this article were chosen by Seeking Alpha editors.
