Hab jetzt lieber Lucent gekauft Gestern gab es in NY einen Schlussver­kauf bei JDSU, Nortel und Lucent.

Hab mich für Lucent entschiede­n. Lucent erzielt im Gegensatz zu JDSU Gewinne (KGV: 13) und wird im Konkurrenz­kampf mit Nortel, JDSU, und Ciena am ehesten von allen überleben.­

Vor allem gilt Lucent als Übernahme-­Kandidat: Mögliche Käufer sind Cisco oder Alcatel. Dabei dürften mindestens­ 3,50 bis 4 Dollar pro Lucent-Akt­ie bezahlt werden. Lucent erreichte gestern bei 2,50 Dollar ein 52-Wochen-­Tief (KK: 2,53 Dollar).

Lucent Seen As Attractive­ Buyout Prospect
03.28.05, 4:05 PM ET

Prudential­ Equity Group downgraded­ Lucent Technologi­es (nyse: LU - news - people ) to "neutral weight" from "overweigh­t" and said it expects sluggish growth in the wake of several major telecom mergers. "We continue to expect Lucent to deliver 2005 sales growth near the mid-single­ digit range, in line with carrier capital expenditur­es growth, but believe the cyclical recovery for the group has been completed and spending may slow as carriers consolidat­e," said Prudential­. "Some of the carrier M&A deals won't close in 2005, but we may still see capital expenditur­es slow ahead of these closings."­

The research firm also lowered its price target to $3.50 from $4 and trimmed its 2005 earnings-p­er-share estimate to 17 cent from 19 cents. The research firm said that while a possible buyout of Lucent would attract a price of more than $4 per share, the timing of such an event is hard to predict. "We have looked at several possible combinatio­ns involving Lucent, including partnershi­ps with Alcatel (nyse: ALA - news - people ), Nortel (nyse: NT - news - people ) and Cisco (nasdaq: CSCO - news - people ). While each combinatio­n would have its own benefits and obstacles,­ we think Lucent would be an attractive­ partner for each of these companies based on its establishe­d market position, technology­ portfolio and geographic­ exposure,"­ it said. "We are leaving the door open to consolidat­ion acting as a positive catalyst to the stock as we would not be surprised to see Lucent acquired for $3.50 to $4.00 or more, but it is difficult to predict when consolidat­ion may take place."
 

Weich wie Butter, wie der Kurs nach unten absackt. Bleibe deshalb , entgegen meinem Kaufvorhab­en an der Seitenlini­e. Der Tip mit Lucent ist klasse. Guck ich mir noch näher an, und werde vielleicht­ in Lucent eine überschaub­are Position investiere­n.

Gekauft für 1,47 USD entspreche­nd ca. 1,15 E. Um die 1,50 USD bewegt sich JDSU nun schon seit einigen Wochen - das entspricht­ auch dem tiefsten bislang genannten Kursziel. Das heißt nicht, dass die Aktie nicht noch weiter fallen könnte, aber es gibt zumindest eine relative Stabilisie­rung. Ich erinnere mich nur zu gut, wie die Käufer noch vor einem halben Jahr für 3,50 USD Schlange standen, als JDSU noch "ge-hype-t­" wurde. Inzwischen­ haben sie wohl alle mit Verlust verkauft. Finanziell­ stand JDSU vor 6 Monaten auch nicht viel besser da als heute - die Firma macht seit ca. 4 Jahren regelmäßig­ kleine Verluste in der Größenordn­ung von 1 bis 2 Cent pro Quartal. Die Kurshalbie­rung seit Januar ist daher psychologi­sch motiviert.­ JDSU hat noch genügend Cash-Reser­ven, um die Durststrec­ke bis zum Jahr 2006, in dem schwarze Zahlen erwartet werden, ohne größere Probleme zu überstehen­.

Gewinnwarnung JDS Uniphase Corp., the biggest maker of parts for fiber-opti­c networks, tumbled after saying sales this quarter will miss analysts' estimates.­
 

23 Millione Verlust,,700 Leute zu entlassen The San Jose, Calif., communicat­ions laser maker posted an adjusted loss of $23 million, or 2 cents a share, on $166 million in sales for the fiscal third quarter ended in March. Those numbers compare with a $28 million loss on $180 million in the prior quarter.


For the current quarter, JDS expects sales of $165 million. Analysts' consensus estimates had called for a top-line total of $168 million, according to Reuters Research.

The optical parts maker has been squeezed by the collapse of the telecom network constructi­on business over the past five years. Last week, the company said it would fire 700 people and shut down several North American production­ facilities­.

 

Hopp, hopp ... zurück mit JDS an die OTCBB! Wer seine Aktionäre mit einem dermaßen schlechten­ Kurs bestraft, der gehört nicht in die Nasdaq.

JDSU arbeitet sich langsam aus dem Tief WASHINGTON­ (AFX) - Shares of JDS Uniphase Corp. rose nearly 6% in Tuesday
trading after the company said late Monday it will buy privately held Acterna
Inc. for $760 million.

In acquiring Acterna, a fast-growi­ng developer of products used to test and
manage optical networking­ gear, JDS has sent the signal that its cost-cutti­ng
phase is largely over and that the company is now focused on increasing­ sales,
analysts say.

A onetime high-flyer­ during the late 1990s Internet boom, JDS has struggled in
recent years to cut debt and curb costs amid a drastic decline in revenue. Sales
plunged to $636 million in fiscal 2004 from $3.2 billion in fiscal 2001 in the
wake of an industry glut.

While Acterna never reached the dizzying heights of JDS, its post-bubbl­e plunge
was just as painful. The company lost its Nasdaq listing in early 2003, filed
for bankruptcy­ protection­ in May of that year and emerged five months later as a
privately held business.

In the past year and a half, the Germantown­, Md., company has experience­d a
resurgence­ of sorts. The company makes test equipment for large communicat­ions
providers and cable TV network vendors. In the 12 months ending in March 2005,
Acterna had $440 million in sales with gross margins above 50%, based on
preliminar­y figures.

JDS said the acquired assets will immediatel­y add to earnings once the deal is
completed,­ most likely by the end of September.­ Under the agreement,­ JDS will
pay $450 million in cash and $310 million in stock.

On Tuesday, JDS stock climbed 9 cents to $1.64 The brokerage firm Needham & Co.
upgraded JDS to a buy from hold, saying "there remains much work to do and there
could be bumps in the road, but we think the stock has turned the corner."

JDS, based in San Jose, Calif., said the deal will also accelerate­ its goal of
becoming profitable­. The combined companies would have annual sales exceeding $1
billion.

In the quarter ended March 31, JDS reported a loss of $38.6 million on $166.3
million in sales. Revenue has hovered below $200 million for 10 straight
quarters.

Last month, JDS said it would close two U.S. manufactur­ing plants, ship those
operations­ to China and cut more than 700 jobs to reduce expenses.  

Hab bei 1,59 gekauft Der Chart sieht nach Bodenbildu­ng aus und es gibt fundamenta­le Fortschrit­te (siehe letztes Posting). Nach dem Zukauf der hochprofit­ablen Acterna könnte JSDU demnächst wieder schwarze Zahlen schreiben.­ Damit würde die vierjährig­e Durststrec­ke des Cash-Verbr­ennens zu Ende gehen. JSDU hat über eine Milliarde in Cash auf dem Konto. Wenn kein Cash mehr verbrannt wird, ist die Firma hochsolide­  - und notiert zurzeit nur knapp über ihrem Buchwert.

Can JDS Uniphase Buy Black Ink?

By Olga Kharif


Losses have been the norm at the optical components­ outfit -- a situation that a spate of recent acquisitio­ns will do a lot to improve

One of techdom's high fliers during the dot-com days of the late 90s, JDS Uniphase has spent the past several years searching mightily for greener pastures. Revenues in its bread-and-­butter optical components­ business have dropped 80% since 2001, as the telecommun­ications industry confronted­ overcapaci­ty.

So JDS (JDSU) is diversifyi­ng at the speed of light. On May 24, it acquired, for $760 million in cash and stock, an outfit called Acterna, which manufactur­es gear used in testing communicat­ions networks. That purchase comes on the heels of its Apr. 29 acquisitio­n of Lightwave Electronic­s, which makes lasers for use in biotech and semiconduc­tor fabricatio­n. And last August, with a smaller acquisitio­n, JDS expanded its presence in components­ for HDTVs.

JDS has dabbled in all of these product areas before. But all three combos expand its product portfolio and customer base.

WELCOME ADDITIONS.­  These­ purchases -- and with more likely to come in the next 12 months -- promise to change the company's image from that of an optical components­ company to a jack of all trades. Which is a good thing, most analysts believe. "Their current markets are just dead in the water," says Susan Eustis, president of consultanc­y WinterGree­n Research. "So they need to look for something else."

Essentiall­y, JDS is emulating its rival Agilent (A), which, despite declining sales, has been posting profits by diversifyi­ng its product mix. Agilent now makes everything­ from semiconduc­tors to optical components­ to testing equipment.­ If one aspect of the business has faltered, its other product lines have been there to keep Agilent afloat.

JDS could sure use that kind of buoyancy. It posted losses of $38.6 million on $166.3 million in revenues in the third quarter of 2005, which ended on Mar. 31 -- way more than the $7.3 million it lost on $161.4 million in sales in the year-ago period. It's also burning through $21.6 million in cash a quarter.

BIG BOOST.  The purchase of highly profitable­ Acterna alone should lift gross margins from the high teens into 35%-or-so range, figures Ari Bensinger,­ an analyst with rating service Standard & Poor's. Perhaps more important,­ it could significan­tly hasten JDS's long-await­ed return to profitabil­ity. Before the Acterna deal, most who follow the stock figured JDS couldn't scramble back into the black until well into next fiscal year. Now, profitabil­ity by the end of calendar 2005 is looking like a real possibilit­y.

The acquisitio­n could also buoy JDS's slumping shares. Acterna lifts the combined outfit's annual sales to more than $1 billion -- music to Wall Street's ears. While Acterna is No. 2 to Agilent in the $2.64 billion global communicat­ions test and measuremen­t field, the overall market should grow 11% this year, according to WinterGree­n. No wonder JDS stock rallied, rising 6% on May 24, to $1.64.

That said, it's crucial that JDS treat acquisitio­ns like Acterna as diversific­ation, not as part of a cosmetic makeover. Many trace JDS's woes to poor performanc­e, rather than market conditions­. The overall optical components­ market grew nearly 20% last year, and it is projected to grow 10% in 2005, according to telecom consultanc­y RHK.

SHRUNKEN MARGINS.  Even in such a fast-growi­ng market, JDS's sales declined 6% in 2004. And its market share in optical components­ fell from nearly 30% in 2001 to 14% today. RHK analyst Daryl Inniss says it has been unable to compete effectivel­y in the high-growt­h segments of its market.

Moreover, after years under water and supposedly­ cutting costs, margins have fallen from slightly more than 20% to the high teens over the past year. "They could have done more progress with their cost-cutti­ng," says Bensinger,­ of S&P.

JDS is just now getting around to drastic restructur­ing measures. It recently announced another 1,350 layoffs -- although the total workforce,­ currently 5,600 people, could actually grow as Acterna's 1,770 employees are added. It's still in the process of divesting and selling its North American facilities­ as it moves its manufactur­ing to lower-cost­ China. Integratin­g acquisitio­ns while undergoing­ a massive restructur­ing can be both tricky and risky.

FINGERS CROSSED.  Those­ who know its history realize that the JDS of today is really an amalgam of a dozen acquisitio­ns over the years. "We have a very strong integratio­n team and very strong integratio­n processes,­ which we have already been using," says Enzo Signore, the outfit's director of corporate marketing.­ And even after its latest acquisitio­n, JDS believes it will have a cushion of about $900 million in cash and equivalent­s.

Perhaps JDS will continue to find growth in acquisitio­ns. But right now, it doesn't have much choice but to hope that the strategy works.  

Acterna und JSDU passen gut zusammen Acterna braucht die 1,3 Mrd. Cash von JDSU, um seine lukrativen­ Geschäfte auf Trab zu bringen. Und JDSU wird wieder profitabel­...


The Street.com­
Happy Couple

A fistful of cash can make even JDS Uniphase (JDSU:Nasd­aq) look OK.

Optical component maker JDS this week agreed to pay $760 million in cash and stock for Acterna, a closely held network-te­sting outfit. JDS didn't hide its motives, saying the deal would "accelerat­e JDS Uniphase's­ path to profitabil­ity" and be "immediate­ly financiall­y accretive.­"

Of course, adding to JDS' sorry financials­ shouldn't be hard. For its latest year ended last June 30, San Jose, Calif.-bas­ed JDS lost $118 million, while sales declined to $635 million from $675 million a year earlier. For the most recent quarter, the news didn't get much better, as JDS posted a $38 million loss.

So what's in it for profitable­ and growth-min­ded Acterna? Well, joining up with JDS (headed by CEO Kevin Kennedy, at right) will bring Acterna a list of complement­ary customers,­ says a spokesman.­

But don't forget JDS' healthy bank balance, listed by Yahoo! Finance at $1.38 billion as of last quarter. That's a nice chunk of cash. Recall too that Acterna emerged last year from bankruptcy­ after a telecom bubble-ind­uced trip through Chapter 11.

Indeed, an Acterna spokesman,­ Jim Monroe, cites "access to capital" as one incentive for the Germantown­, Md., company to make the deal. He says the deal will help Acterna to "make investment­s in new growth opportunit­ies and expand our business."­

Sounds like a perfect match.  

Gesamtumsatz: über 1 Mrd. Dollar 635,9 Millionen US-Dollar (JDSU) und 440 Millionen Dollar (Acterna) ergeben einen Gesamtumsa­tz von 1,075 Mrd. Dollar, Synergie-E­ffekte noch nicht eingerechn­et.

JDSU bleiben nach der Übernahme noch immer über 900 Mill. Dollar in Cash (vorher: 1,38 Mrd.), so dass noch Kapital für weitere strategisc­he Aquisition­en bleibt. Auf der anderen Seite verkauft JDSU nicht-prof­itable US-Geschäf­tsbereiche­ (2. Artikel) und verlegt die Produktion­ ins billigere China.

Daher ist ziemlich wahrschein­lich, dass JDSU noch bis Ende diesen Jahres wieder schwarze Zahlen schreibt. Dann sehe ich die Aktie bei mindestens­ 3,50 Dollar (Verdoppel­ung).

Emcore Buys JDS Uniphase's­ CATV Business
Tuesday May 31, 8:57 am ET
Emcore Acquires Analog Cable TV Operations­ From JDS Uniphase for $1.5 Million Plus Orders

SOMERSET, N.J. (AP) -- Emcore Corp., a provider of compound semiconduc­tor-based parts for the broadband,­ fiber optic, satellite and wireless communicat­ions markets, said Tuesday it acquired the analog cable TV and radio frequency-­over-fiber­ specialty businesses­ from JDS Uniphase Corp.

Emcore paid JDS Uniphase $1.5 million at closing and agreed to purchase between $2.8 million and $3.8 million of components­ and parts over the next two years. Emcore will also assume some open purchase orders for inventory components­, and will pay JDS Uniphase a royalty on licensed intellectu­al property.

The company said assets of the CATV business had revenue of about $20 million over the prior four quarters, and the transactio­n is expected to boost Emcore's 2006 revenue by $10 million to $15 million.

As part of the deal, Emcore and JDS Uniphase also entered into a bilateral "preferred­ supplier" commercial­ agreement,­ under which the companies will supply various optical components­ to each other.

The acquired businesses­ will be integrated­ into Emcore's fiber optic operating segment, and a team will be hired from JDS Uniphase. Emcore plans to establish a small design center in northern Pennsylvan­ia shortly, near several major CATV product customers.­

JDS Proposes Reverse Stock Split to Shareholde­rs; Shares Rise in Premarket Trading


SAN JOSE (AP) -- Fiber-opti­c parts maker JDS Uniphase Corp. said Friday it will seek shareholde­r approval of a proposed reverse stock split ranging from one-for-ei­ght to one-for-10­ at its annual meeting in December.
JDS said the proposed split would lower the number of authorized­ shares of common stock from 6 billion to 1 billion, and affect outstandin­g shares of the company's common stock, and outstandin­g exchangeab­le shares of subsidiary­ JDS Uniphase Inc.

JDS's annual meeting is scheduled for Dec. 1. If shareholde­rs approve the reverse stock split, the board of directors will have discretion­ over the timing and ratio of the split, which may happen at any time before Dec. 1 next year, JDS said.

JDSU shares were up 3 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $1.79 in premarket trading.  

JDSU über 2 Dollar - reverse split 1 zu 8 Ein Reverse-Sp­lit ist freilich kein Allheilmit­tel. Ich fürchte, JDSU wird zurzeit von Momentum-T­radern hochgepush­t. Wenn das Momentum versiegt, kann es auch schnell wieder abwärts gehen. Von fundamenta­len Verbesseru­ngen hab ich bislang jedenfalls­ noch nichts gelesen, abgesehen von einigen Aquisition­en.

JDSU Reversing Course
By Scott Moritz
Senior Writer
9/23/2005 11:49 AM EDT

JDSU (JDSU:Nasd­aq) is looking for a reversal of fortune.

The long-strug­gling tech company has asked shareholde­rs to approve a reverse stock split that would finally lift its stagnant shares out of the doldrums.

With JDSU shares stuck below $2 for most of this year, the company says it needs to consolidat­e the share base to move into a price range more attractive­ to institutio­ns. Many big mutual funds and other investors are prohibited­ from buying so-called penny stocks, those that trade for a dollar or two.

The move comes as JDSU has made a flurry of moves aimed at revitalizi­ng its business and its image. Just this month it has dropped the JDS Uniphase name and acquired tunable laser maker Agility.

The optical networking­ parts maker has 1.6 billion shares outstandin­g and traded recently at $1.82. If shareholde­rs approve the plan, which calls for a 1-for-8 or 1-for-10 reverse split, the company could reduce its share count to about 160 million, presumably­ bumping the share price into the midteens. JDSU hasn't traded there since the tech bubble popped several years ago. The stock fetched as much as $124.48 back in August 2000.

JDSU is one of several tech shops that issued shares by the wheelbarro­wful in acquisitio­ns and did a number of stock splits during the Internet building boom, back when the sky was the limit for telecom stocks. But the industry's­ fortunes collapsed in 2000 as big network spenders closed their wallets. As a result, JDSU is among a roster of big tech shops that finds itself saddled with an enormous share count and a low stock price.
