On June 10, Ciena declined 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $425.86/share, with trading volume of $913 million, extending its recent pullback trend.
On the news front, the company announced on June 8 a proposed private offering of up to $2 billion in convertible senior notes due September 15, 2031, with initial buyers granted an option to purchase up to an additional $300 million. Proceeds will be used to repay approximately $1.14 billion in existing term loans, repurchase up to $140 million in shares, and for general corporate purposes. The convertible debt issuance has triggered market concerns over potential equity dilution.
The decline also reflects continued profit-taking following Ciena's fiscal Q2 earnings report on June 4, where the company posted revenue of $1.57 billion (up 39.5% YoY) and adjusted EPS of $1.64, both significantly beating estimates. Despite multiple investment banks raising price targets — Barclays to $607, Raymond James to $530, Morgan Stanley to $490 — selling pressure has persisted after the stock's prior sharp rally.
