Juniper (JNPR) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

Zacks Equity Research
·3 min read

Juniper Networks, Inc. JNPR is scheduled to report second-quarter 2021 results on Jul 27, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 20%. The bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5 cents.

This Sunnyvale, CA-based company is expected to have recorded year-over-year higher aggregate revenues in the second quarter. The performance can be attributed to healthy momentum across its core industry verticals — Cloud, Enterprise and Service Provider.

Factors at Play

During the quarter, 21Vianet, a leading carrier-neutral data center service provider in China, deployed Juniper’s MX Series Universal Routing Platforms to help meet the increasing demand of data traffic and support the digital transformation of its customers.

Juniper was chosen to deploy a significant network capacity expansion for Telecom Egypt (Egypt’s primary telephone company) across its nationwide infrastructure.

VicTrack, the state-owned enterprise that owns all railway and tram lines, networks and infrastructure in the state of Victoria, Australia, selected Juniper for upgrading its network that supports transport and government applications.

Plusnet, an organization that provides communications and network services to about 25,000 businesses in Germany, chose Juniper and Corero Joint DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Protection Solution to safeguard its users and infrastructure against DDoS attacks. These developments are likely to have had a positive impact on Juniper’s top line.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the Product segment is pegged at $729 million. The projection suggests a rise of 5.3% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for revenues from the Service segment is $412 million, which shows an increase from $394 million reported a year ago.

For the June quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1,142 million, which indicates growth of 5.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings per share is pegged at 39 cents, which suggests an increase of 11.4%.
