Ciena, with symbol CIEN-N, has shown remarkable performance over recent quarters, evidenced by a 100% run-up in its stock price which has raised some concerns about its current valuation among experts. One analyst points out that the incredible growth and a 66% increase in Q1 establishes it as one of the top performers in the S&P 500. The sentiment remains bullish if the ongoing expansion of data centers continues, indicating a strong potential for sustaining further growth. However, another expert warns that the stock may be too 'hot' right now, suggesting a cautious approach might be prudent for potential investors. Overall, there's a mix of enthusiasm for the company's future with a hint of apprehension regarding its current price levels.

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.
