Ciena (CIEN-N) has received mixed reviews from experts regarding its recent performance and future potential. One expert notes that the stock has run up 100%, indicating a rapid increase, which may seem too high or 'hot' to invest in at the moment. Another expert highlights that the company saw a substantial gain of 66% in Q1 and is one of the strongest performers within the S&P index. The positive trajectory is specifically tied to ongoing developments in data center infrastructure, suggesting that continuous investments in this area could bolster Ciena's growth further. However, the contrasting opinions emphasize concerns about the sustainability of such a rapid increase in stock price, prompting a cautious approach from some investors.

Gordon Reid
Gordon ReidAt the present time, this is trading up at quite an astonishing price to book level. In his FMV view, it is about 25% overvalued. There hasn’t been a lot of growth in the BV for some period of time. However, earnings have been notching up nicely. This is what he would call speculatively priced.
