Ribbon Communications (RBBN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Ribbon Communications Inc's IP Optical segment demonstrated robust performance, with revenues reaching $91 million, reflecting an 8% quarter-over-quarter increase and an 11% year-over-year rise, surpassing prior estimates by 6%. The company is expected to continue capitalizing on growth opportunities within the IP Optical sector, driven by new customer acquisitions and expanding projects with service providers in North America and EMEA, alongside a promising rural DCI market. Additionally, management's heightened focus on enhancing earnings per share (EPS) complements its existing strategies to bolster EBITDA, indicating a commitment to driving financial performance through careful capital and debt management.
Bears say
Ribbon Communications Inc. experienced a notable decline in its Cloud & Edge revenue, reporting a 9% quarter-over-quarter and 3% year-over-year drop, primarily attributed to a significant 60% reduction in the U.S. market. The company has proactively adjusted its 2026 revenue and EPS projections downward, reflecting increased conservatism amid a weak revenue outlook of approximately $912 million and $0.30 per share. Additionally, a potential rapid transition from higher-margin Cloud and Edge products to lower-margin IP and Optical offerings could impair expected EPS growth, exacerbating financial challenges as evidenced by a revenue miss of $5 million and EPS miss of $0.02 relative to consensus in the most recent quarter.
