Ciena shares are moving higher after the company reported a strong first quarter fueled by broad, AI-related demand and described this demand as durable going forward. The company also built a record $7 billion order backlog, as supply bottlenecks push new deals all the way into 2027.
Following these results and the more optimistic outlook, Ciena raised its revenue guidance for fiscal 2026. Analysts responded by upgrading their views on the stock and broadly lifting their price targets, adding further momentum to the share move.
