Viavi Solutions (VIAV-Q) has garnered attention for its presence in a rapidly evolving industry, which many experts view as a positive aspect of the company. However, there is a consensus among analysts that the current price is considered high, prompting a recommendation to wait for a potential pullback before making any purchasing decisions. This caution suggests that investors might find better entry points if they remain patient. The market sentiment indicates that while the company is promising in terms of growth and future potential, the present valuation may not reflect a fair opportunity for new investors at this time. As such, it's advisable to keep an eye on market trends and be prepared for more favorable pricing in the days to come.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's expensive, but is in a hot space. Let the stock cool a little before buying.

COMMENT

BUY

Fiber demand is increasing. Is a past Canadian darling. Earnings are dramatically improving. 35% forecast earnings growth next year.

WATCH

Technology space is on his radar screen. You might consider buying a basket of them through an ETF. On this one, until it breaks below $15, he wouldn't worry about it.

COMMENT

Huge opportunity for them in the optical space. 17X PE against June/12. Pretty crisp earnings growth with $0.77 growing to $1.14. Could be a pretty reasonable investment over a 2 year period.

DON'T BUY

Pulled back with all the optical networking companies. This one seems to be trying to find a floor. He exited all his exposure in this area.

DON'T BUY

In the bottom 15% to 20% of his database. PE is 19X’s. ROE is forecast at a modest 6%. Most recent earnings were down 41% compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Forecast to lose $.03 in the coming quarter.

COMMENT

More interesting to him now than any time since 1997. Still expensive for him.

COMMENT

Has come down a long ways in the recent drop off would make it more interesting again. This one came up on his filter recently, but it wasn't attractive enough given the 10-year trading range. Once he discovers a stock, he doesn't invest in it for at least six months, often 3, 4, 5 years. He might take another look at this next week.

DON'T BUY

Technology over the last 3 months has been lagging the market. Seasonally, it is coming to a time when things should get better, but this one is not a leader in the group.

COMMENT

Been in a downtrend and now seems to be forming a base. If there is some space between where the relative support is and where the downtrend line intersects, there may be opportunity for short-term trade. If it breaks the downtrend line with some good volume, it may be setting up for a new base building.

COMMENT

Ranks below half in his database. Just announced an acquisition. Pretty good technology. Looks like the optical drought on fibre-optic sales is behind us. Very highly priced with a 54 P/E.

DON'T BUY

There are higher quality businesses at better values. Too expensive.

SELL

Their business is not going to grow. A lot of outstanding stock.

DON'T BUY

SBC Communications and Verizon were going to try to expand and compete with larger telcos and cables. JDS would be a direct beneficiary of this. Competition in this area is quite vicious, so not sure how far they will get. JDS is having a struggle. Not a fan of this area.
