Bank of America Forecasts 35-40% Revenue Growth for Ciena
What happened
Bank of America expects Ciena Corporation to achieve revenue growth of 35% to 40% in the calendar year 2026. This forecast is supported by rising cloud-provider spending and expanding opportunities to connect data centers. The bank also noted that Meta's data centre out-of-band management business could generate $200 million in 2026.
Why it matters
The projected growth is primarily attributed to demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure outpacing available supply. Meta's business expansion is cited as a factor increasing Ciena's addressable market. Ciena's Reconfigurable Line System and Waveserver platforms are identified as key growth drivers for the company.
