(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 09/04/12 -- The Communication Equipment Industry took a hit last week after Ciena, makers of fiber-optic networking equipment, posted a larger fiscal third quarter loss than expected and projected revenues below analysts' estimates. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Communication Equipment Industry and provides equity research on Ciena Corporation (NASDAQ: CIEN) and Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR).

"We continue to win in the market and take share as demonstrated by a solid operating performance in the third quarter," said Gary Smith, president and CEO of Ciena. But the company is "experiencing the effects of ongoing macroeconomic challenges and slower than expected roll-outs of new design wins."
Ciena's weak fourth quarter forecast dragged down shares of other telecom equipment makers. Finisar Corp., JDS Uniphase, Alcatel Lucent SA, and Tellabs all took hits to their share prices last Thursday. Ciena's sales projections of $455 million to $480 million in the fourth quarter fell short of the $500 million predicted by analysts.
