The company launched Mosaic One Fabric, an expansion of its software suite that helps network operators automate their work using artificial intelligence. Instead of using pre-set tools, customers can now build custom AI agents using their own data and models to manage their specific operational needs.
This is a step in the company's plan to move toward software-defined networking, which typically earns higher profits than selling physical hardware alone. By giving operators more control over their AI costs and data, the company is trying to make its platform more essential to the daily business of internet providers.

Evercore ISI cut its price target for the stock from $18 to $11. This roughly 39 percent reduction is a sharp adjustment following the company's recent earnings miss and its warning that a delayed project with a major customer would weigh on its financial performance.
When a major firm like Evercore makes a large target cut, it often signals that they expect the company's recovery to take longer than originally thought. While the firm still sees some upside from current levels, this move reflects a more sober outlook on the company's ability to hit its profit goals in the coming quarters.

Craig-Hallum lowered its target price for the stock to $12, down from a previous target of $20. This change follows the company's recent quarterly results and its earlier warning that a delayed project with a single customer would hurt its sales and profit margins.
Even with the lower target, the firm kept its positive rating on the stock. This suggests the analysts still see value in the business over the long run, but they are adjusting their expectations for how quickly the stock price will rise as the company works through these near-term project delays.

Northland Securities lowered its price target for the stock to $15, a drop from its previous $18 target. The move comes after the company reported quarterly results that were impacted by a specific project delay and lower-than-expected profit margins.
A target cut like this reflects a more cautious view of the company's near-term growth. However, the new target is still well above the current stock price, indicating the firm believes the company's long-term shift toward optical networking and AI hardware remains on track despite these temporary hurdles.

Analysts lowered their price targets following the company's recent earnings report. Most experts still favor the stock, with 13 of 27 rating it a buy and an average target price that suggests 82% upside from today's level.
The company has missed analyst targets in five of the last eight quarters. This suggests the business is currently difficult to forecast as it navigates a lumpy replacement cycle for networking gear.
