Bull of the Day:
As the internet continues to grow in importance and become more ubiquitous, the list of ways to invest in this quickly growing market is soaring as well.
But sometimes we forget the ‘backbone’ companies of the internet experience though, and instead we focus in on the sexier names like Facebook in the internet world. However, there are plenty of solid names in the infrastructure space that could actually make for great investments too. One such name in this space is Juniper Networks (JNPR), a router specialist and a $10 billion market cap company that could be worth a closer look by investors.
Juniper is a California-based giant that is best known for its routers, though it also has decent sized switching and security divisions too. The firm is pretty much entirely U.S.-focused though it does have about 10% exposure to the international market right now. This should at least protect the company from some of the currency issues that have plagued many other mid and large cap technology firms presently trading on the market.
The company has seen some solid trading as of late too, as shares have added nearly 20% in the past three months. This could definitely continue for the company and especially so following Ericsson buyout rumors and its latest decent earnings report.
JNPR managed to match EPS projections for the most recent quarter while revenues slightly beat expectations and margins managed to improve further into double digit territory. However, it was the guidance that likely was a key for investor bullishness as we head further into the year as the company declared higher expectations for Non-GAAP earnings in the forthcoming period.
Juniper Networks, Inc. designs, develops, and sells high-performance network products and services worldwide. It provides various routing products, counting ACX series universal access routers to deploy new high-bandwidth services; MX series Ethernet routers that functions as a universal edge platform; M series edge routers; PTX series packet transport routers; and T series routers.
