INFN: Wells Fargo expands on
its reasons for Upgrade
Wells indicating that it is better to be early in INFN.
This is the meat oof their opinion:
New products should reinvigorate growth. Over the next few
quarters Infinera is expected
to introduce multiple new products leveraging its fourth-generation
optical engine, which promises greater throughput and efficiency
relative to competitive offerings. We think these products should
enable Infinera to better
capitalize on strength in the 100G optical market, most notably in
the cloud interconnect vertical, where the company is seeing
pent-up demand for its soon-to-be-released Cloud Xpress 2 (ships
soon) and XT-3300 (ships in the third quarter)
platforms.
While Infinera's new cloud
products should drive better results during the second half, with
the company also launching new metro, subsea and long-haul products
by year-end, we think the pieces are in place to see a material
top-line recovery in 2018.
