Is Ciena Corp overvalued?

What is the price target of Ciena Corp (CIEN)?

The 12-month analyst consensus target is $441.00, about 24.2% below the current $581.47. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.

What is the future stock price of CIEN by 2030?

Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $761.89, built from revenue projections, a growth-adjusted P/S multiple, net debt, and share dilution. It is a scenario rather than a prediction, and the bull and bear cases around it matter more than the single number when you are sizing a position.

What is Ciena Corp's revenue?

Ciena Corp's trailing twelve-month revenue is $5.12B, and our model projects it reaching about $15.20B by 2030. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.

Altman Z-Score?

Ciena Corp's Altman Z-Score is 1.18, which places it in the distress. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
