While investors’ attention has recently begun to focus on some fundamental risks evolving
in the communications equipment market, we believe Avanex remains extremely well-positioned
to win business in the optical networking revolution and the company’s business
fundamentals continue to accelerate. The healthy book-to-bill ratio signals strong demand
for the company's photonic processors and we believe that these trends should continue.
Avanex's main customers are high-quality names with little exposure to service providers
that could have problems raising capital, which leads us to believe that the company's
customers should continue to demand these enabling building blocks for next-generation
networks. Avanex shares have pulled back recently more than 40% from the recent high on
September 5 of $158.25 to close at $90.00 on October 18. We encourage investors to build
positions in AVNX shares, as the demand for high-quality, next-generation optical
networking components and systems continues to accelerate. We reiterate our 1 Buy rating
and 12-month price target of $250, or 62 times our CY01 revenue projection.
