Ciena's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.13% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749484824_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Ciena has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Ciena's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Ciena's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.52%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Tesla And Lululemon Are Among Top 10 Large-Cap Losers Last Week (Jun 2-Jun 6): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Wall Street analysts responded to Ciena Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) second-quarter financial results on Thursday.
Ciena reported a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45790736/ciena-stock-slides-after-q2-eps-miss-margin-drop-despite-strong-sales" rel="noreferrer noopener">quarterly revenue growth</a> of 23.6% to $1.13 billion, beating the&nbsp;analyst consensus&nbsp;estimate of $1.09 billion.
The American telecommunications networking equipment and software services supplier reported an adjusted EPS of 42 cents,&nbsp;which missed the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate&nbsp;of 52 cents.

The adjusted gross margin declined by 250 bps to 41%, and the adjusted operating margin increased by 140 bps to 8.2%.
Rosenblatt analyst Mike Genovese maintained Ciena <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CIEN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a Neutral</a> and lowered the price target from&nbsp;$85&nbsp;to&nbsp;$78.
Needham analyst Ryan Koontz reiterated Ciena with a Buy and a $90&nbsp;price target.
Rosenblatt: Genovese noted his Ciena preview was accurate since he expected increased revenue guidance. However, he was worried about margins because of customer and product mix and the time it could take to achieve the mid-40s gross margin and mid-teens operating margin targets.
The analyst said the gross margin was light because of a heavy sales mix of new line systems, which tend to get filled with high-margin cards later and 400ZR pluggable. The good news is that higher revenues appear sustainable.
Genovese said Cloud and Service Provider DCI markets can drive multi-year growth above 8% to 11%. The analyst noted Ciena will likely increase its multi-year revenue growth above this range before the end of fiscal 2025. He said the company has also won its first two Datacom Campus deals, including one likely to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, with revenues slated to begin in 2026.
As per Genovese, the read for Datacom companies, like Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>) and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>), is positive since Cloud capex is substantial and the 1.6+T Datacom products Ciena is moving over the next few years are expected to be good for the gross margins. 
The read is also positive for Telecom- and DCI-exposed names, like Viavi Solutions (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIAV#NASDAQ">VIAV</a>), Ribbon Communications (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBBN#NASDAQ">RBBN</a>) and ADTRAN Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADTN#NASDAQ">ADTN</a>), since Telecom demand is strong and Ciena&#8217;s gross margins issues are company-specific, the analyst said.
For Ciena, he sought signs that margins are sustainably improving before potentially becoming more constructive in his rating.
Genovese projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $4.58 billion (prior $4.41 billion) and adjusted EPS of $2.24 (prior $2.43).
Needham: Ciena reported mixed fiscal second-quarter results, with revenue and adjusted EPS +3% and -10 cents versus consensus, and fiscal second-half guidance reflects meaningfully higher revenue growth but lower gross margin and EPS than expected.
Fiscal second-quarter strength in Cloud (+88% Y/Y) drove the outperformance and strong bookings (B2B &gt; 1), but new products that carry lower gross margins are increasing in mix faster than expected, the analyst said. 
Increased tariff costs also impact gross profit by ~$10 million per quarter, which he feared could worsen given uncertainties.
Koontz noted the stock pullback as a buying opportunity for a company with the industry&#8217;s best technology and customer relationships. The analyst expects Ciena to benefit from continued share gains and is enthused about emerging intra-data center opportunities in fiscal 2027, although less bullish on Switching and Broadband.
Koontz projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $4.57 billion (prior $4.44 billion) and adjusted EPS of $2.25 (prior $2.58).
CIEN Price Action: CIEN stock is up 0.22% at $73.29 at publication on Friday.

U.S. stock futures rose on Friday after closing lower on Thursday. Futures of major benchmark indices advanced in premarket.
This came after President Donald Trump hinted at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807968/trump-signals-truce-with-elon-musk-after-online-feud-its-going-very-well-never-done-better">possible reconciliation</a> with Elon Musk following a public spat. In an interview with Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/05/trump-white-house-aides-signal-a-possible-detente-with-musk-00391502">on</a> Thursday, Trump was unfazed about the questions on his feud with Musk, stating, &#8220;Oh it&#8217;s okay.&#8221; 
"It's going very well, never done better,&#8221; he said as his aides have scheduled a call with Musk to potentially resolve the conflict.
The disagreement between the two influential figures stemmed from Trump&#8217;s &#8220;big beautiful bill,&#8221; a legislative proposal outlining his presidential agenda. Their exchanges grew increasingly bitter, leading aides and allies to step in. Ultimately, Musk indicated a willingness to reconcile.
The investors will be on the lookout for May&#8217;s U.S. employment report, slated to be released later today. The nonfarm payrolls are expected to rise by 130,000, down from April&#8217;s 170,000 gain.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.38% and the two-year bond was at 3.92%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.6% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
&#8220;Stock, bond, currency, and commodity traders have become jaded about Trump&#8217;s tumultuous trade dealmaking,&#8221; said Ed Yardeni in his daily note.
According to him, even the rising concerns about a shortage of Chinese rare earth minerals, which are needed by several U.S. manufacturers, haven&#8217;t fazed the stock market so far.
He said that &#8220;Investors seem to be more focused on whether the US economy is slowing or not.&#8221;
Yardeni stated that stock and bond prices would likely stay firm if today&#8217;s payroll employment report exceeds 100,000.
However, the report &#8220;isn&#8217;t likely to resolve the debate about the labor market,&#8221; he added, saying that he anticipates that it will be better than expected.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Louis Navellier said that he remains optimistic that the tariff confusion will dissipate in the upcoming months.
&#8220;I expect inflation will remain low due to (1) lower crude oil prices, (2) deflation from China, and (3) excess inventories from the dumping of goods in the first quarter,&#8221; he said.
He also added that resurging consumer confidence and rising personal income are a powerful &#8216;one-two&#8217; punch that will sustain strong economic growth. ﻿
