JDS Uniphase Corp (JDSU)

JDSU will continue to garner positive attention as it comes back from the dog-house. Its recent reverse split brought its price back into institutional investor territory, and will start to see its stock price rise as people consider how our country will scale its bandwidth to satisfy IPTV, quadruple play, etc. However the dot-com bubble resulted in overbuilding of fiber backbone, so growth may have to come with consumer demand for fiber-to-the-premises.

I believe management will turn this company around in the next year, once profitable investors will return to this gem

JDSU. A value subtracter.

Here we have a single-digit stock that is a complete mess. It is a symbol of the fall of the tech bubble. Sure, traders have a field day with this one; they move it up for a while, then down. A quick check of Yahoo Finance shows that the company has no operational cash flow the last few years. It is a user of cash, not a generator, and it is for that reason that the stock is priced so low on an absolute-value basis.

Like they say, sometimes a stock is priced that way for a reason.

JDSU is the largest provider in the world for Pump Lasers... It is true that there is many miles of Fiber in the ground all over America but what about the resty of the World! Where do you think CIENA and Bookham and the other guys get the parts to build their pump lasers... from JDSU! In the next world wave for Fiber build outs in other countries...JDSU will be the equipment provider of choice. Be patient!

trading at its low for a while after coming back down from a 3-4 year high recently. This stock is bottomed out and usually stays here for a while until something happens and it runs back up. I see this one running up again and if it get over 3-4 per share it will usually tumble back down to where it is now.

The 1-8 reverse stock split has hurt JDSU----for the moment. JDSU is a good company that can't be ruled out as another "home-run" stock (once again). Upcoming announcements From JDSU should make all the difference between a $16.00 stock and a $32.00 stock. Time will tell, but I'm holding on to my JDSU stock!

I don't understand why this company is not making more money. Each business segment should be growing at a nice rate because of the growing demand for video. I am long on this stock but we need to start seeing some growth.

OK....this was a feeling pick....and the results show it.

I like JDSU from good memories some 6 years ago. That being said, the telecom industry will need to upgrade sooner or later and JDSU will be there for them. It has been 5 years since the bubble burst and the company still has great products. Last quarter was their best in who knows how long. I think the worm is turning and JDSU will begin their turnaround this year, I look forward to Cisco's results this evening.

Disclosure: While new to CAPS, I've owned the stock for 2 weeks....and hope it will rise to its former glory....or even a tenth of it!!

"We believe we are in the early stages of a multiyear optical upgrade cycle, as telecom carriers upgrade their networks to the latest technologies in order to lower operating costs and push high-speed fiber connections closer to their customers." Morningstar

The stock is making a come back. The coampny has cut costs as it got too far ahead of itself at one point. I expect the SP500 to average 9% over the next three years and JDSU to average 12% over the same time period.

Recently highlighted by Morningstar as a 5-star stock. For qtr-end 12/2006, increases in revenue brought JDSU back into profitable territory. Note that JDSU has approximately $1.2 Billion of cash + ST investments on the balance sheet. Downside -- it must compete with the mighty Cisco. From Morningstar: "By way of background, we award a stock 5 stars when it trades at a suitably large discount--i.e., a margin of safety--to our fair value estimate. Thus, when a stock hits 5-star territory, we consider it an especially compelling value."

Just won its big securities class action case, and is streamlining its portfolio. Still a behemoth, watch for it to narrow its losses even further and finally turn a profit for the first time in . . . well, almost forever. . . next year.

jdsu-fools taking off my watch list-this stock is another stock priced right & will make me plenty of money in my 3/5 year plan-patience is key with so many bargains available. fool on baby!!!!!!!!!

I'm betting video and other bandwidth intensive services will be pushing the need for more agressive fiber optic buildout and reinvigorate JDSU. This might not be the greatest short term play but I like them long term. One stop shop and plenty of cash to wait things out until the market comes to them.

turn around in an awakening fibre optics market. New acquisition will stabilize, bring more revs and be accretive to earnings. Bad part is margins will drop. Cheap enough that i'm happy to sit on Jdsu for a few years

Telco's rollout of fiber optics will increase revenue.

I'm thinking all of the hype has been resolved into the down cycle for JDSU. JDSU is at the top of the pack for PEG (5yr). Could be set for strong growth? We'll see!

All time low...great stock to roll. Outperform!
