adtn – US Market Buzz http://www.usmarketbuzz.com Nation and Economy Mon, 20 Jul 2020 16:28:22 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.23 ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN) Hits New Lows After Issuing disappointing Earnings Forecast http://www.usmarketbuzz.com/adtran-inc-nasdaqadtn-hits-new-lows-after-issuing-disappointing-earnings-forecast-3461 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 17:18:26 +0000 http://www.usmarketbuzz.com/?p=3461 ADTRAN, Inc.(NASDAQ:ADTN) slumped to a 52-week low after forecasting below consensus guidance for Q4, revising its revenue estimate downward  to $125M from $155M-$165M earlier and seeing EPS of ~$0.01; analysts had expected EPS of ~$0.14 and revenue of $161.2M.

ADTN also projects Q1 to come in at roughly the same as Q4, misses analyst consensus of $167.5M.

CEO Tom Stanton says Q4 results have been hurt by a merger-related review, which ADTN expects to be completed in 60-90 days, and slowdown in the spending at a domestic Tier 1 customer.

MKM Partners analyst Michael Genovese believes the customer is CenturyLink (CTL -2%), which accounted for 24% of ADTN’s total sales in 2016.

The analyst thinks the weakness should prove temporary, adding that ADTN’s performance likely will accelerate into 2019 as the company stands to benefit from 5G spending; MKM trims its ADTN target price to $25 from $27 but keeps its Buy rating.
