Unfortunately, with the spate of early warnings for Q1 pointing to another dismal reporting season, more downward movement assuredly lies ahead. The good news is that Juniper is an emerging star in the networking galaxy, with vast upside potential. This is a company headed in the right direction. Remember, this is a market that Cisco totally controlled less than 18 months ago. No other competitor has ever posed this kind of threat to the networking giant.
Cisco continues to stumble in the high-end networking market.
It was an easy decision by Cisco, since it was having trouble selling any of the expensive fiber-optic routers in the first place. But don't be surprised if you eventually can get it for even less than that.
