Balanced

Net tone -10 · moderate hedging

Grounding quotes
  • “Viavi end-market spend environment continues to be conservative, particularly the North American service providers.”
  • “we believe that we are nearing the bottom of the down cycle and we expect a gradual recovery in demand in the second half of this fiscal year”
  • “Our wireless demand continues to be impacted by sharply reduced R&D and production CapEx spend by major wireless NAMs, who have reduced investment in response to significant cutbacks in 5G deployment by wireless operators.”
  • “I don't want to set unrealistic expectations for a sudden change; instead, I prefer a gradual recovery in the base demand.”
