Analysts on average had forecast earnings of 21 cents per share, according to First Call/Thomson Financial. The company said it is experiencing ``a lower level of near-term sales visibility'' than it has in recent quarters. On Monday, the company's merger with rival SDL, Inc. (NasdaqNM:SDLI - news) was approved by shareholders of both companies. JDS Uniphase shares were down over 5 percent on the Nasdaq to close Tuesday at $38-1/2. The slide in the share accelerated after the company said it would announce revised guidance for the quarter today.
