Juniper Networks Announced A Strategic Investment In Quantum Bridge Technologies, An Industry Leader In Distributed Symmetric Key Exchange For Post-quantum Cryptography Networks

Making its debut on 12/30/2016, smart beta exchange traded fund ALPS O&#39;Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF (BATS: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ousm#BATS">OUSM</a>) provides investors broad exposure to the Style Box - Small Cap Blend category of the market.
<h2>What Are Smart Beta ETFs?</h2>
Products that are based on market cap weighted indexes, which are strategies designed to reflect a specific market segment or the market as a whole, have traditionally dominated the ETF industry.
Because market cap weighted indexes provide a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns, they work well for investors who believe in market efficiency.
There are some investors, though, who think it&#39;s possible to beat the market with great stock selection; this group likely invests in another class of funds known as smart beta, which track non-cap weighted strategies.
This kind of index follows this same mindset, as it attempts to pick stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance; non-cap weighted strategies base selection on certain fundamental characteristics, or a mix of such characteristics.
Even though this space provides many choices to investors--think one of the simplest methodologies like equal-weighting and more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting--not all have been able to deliver first-rate results.
<h2>Fund Sponsor &amp; Index</h2>
The fund is managed by Alps. OUSM has been able to amass assets over $666.01 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Small Cap Blend. This particular fund seeks to match the performance of the FTSE Russell US Qual / Vol / Yield Factor 3% Capped Index before fees and expenses.
The OShares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend Index is designed to reflect the performance of publicly-listed small-capitalization dividend-paying issuers in the United States exhibiting high quality, low volatility and high dividend yields.
<h2>Cost &amp; Other Expenses</h2>
Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.48%, making it one of the more expensive products in the space.
OUSM&#39;s 12-month trailing dividend yield is 1.31%.
<h2>Sector Exposure and Top Holdings</h2>
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund&#39;s holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
Representing 34.40% of the portfolio, the fund has heaviest allocation to the Financials sector; Industrials and Consumer Discretionary round out the top three.
Taking into account individual holdings, Juniper Networks Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jnpr#NYSE">JNPR</a>) accounts for about 2.02% of the fund&#39;s total assets, followed by Tradeweb Markets Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tw#NASDAQ">TW</a>) and Encompass Health Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ehc#NYSE">EHC</a>).
Its top 10 holdings account for approximately 19.45% of OUSM&#39;s total assets under management.
<h2>Performance and Risk</h2>
The ETF has gained about 8.67% so far this year and is up about 16.66% in the last one year (as of 08/15/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $33.36 and $44.13.
The ETF has a beta of 1.05 and standard deviation of 16.86% for the trailing three-year period. With about 107 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
<h2>Alternatives</h2>
ALPS O&#39;Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Small Cap Blend segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.
IShares Russell 2000 ETF (ARCA:IWM) tracks Russell 2000 Index and the iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF (ARCA:IJR) tracks S&amp;P SmallCap 600 Index. IShares Russell 2000 ETF has $63.97 billion in assets, iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF has $81.88 billion. IWM has an expense ratio of 0.19% and IJR charges 0.06%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Small Cap Blend.

Is ALPS O'Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF a Strong ETF Right Now?

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) is reportedly poised to receive unconditional EU antitrust approval for its $14 billion acquisition of networking gear manufacturer Juniper Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNPR#NYSE">JNPR</a>).
The deal, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/36571415" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced in January</a>, reflects the accelerating trend among companies to enhance and innovate their products amidst the surge in AI-driven services.
The European Commission is expected to make a decision on the acquisition by August 1, Reuters reported. The commission has not provided any comments on the matter.
To address potential competition concerns within the EU, HPE is likely to emphasize the market dominance of Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), a major competitor of Juniper Networks.
This strategic move aims to mitigate any regulatory apprehensions regarding the acquisition&#8217;s impact on market competition.

The acquisition is also under review by the U.K.&#8217;s antitrust authority, with a decision expected by August 14. The outcome of these regulatory reviews will determine the finalization of the deal, which is set to impact the networking equipment industry.
The acquisition aligns with HPE&#8217;s strategy to bolster its capabilities in response to the increasing demand for AI-driven services.
By integrating Juniper Networks&#8217; technology, HPE aims to strengthen its product offerings and maintain a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
HPE has been cautious about major acquisitions, with its most significant buy being&nbsp;the $1.5 billion purchase of&nbsp;supercomputer maker&nbsp;Cray in 2019.
Price Action: HPE shares are trading lower by 1.49% at $19.47 at last check Monday.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise's $14B Juniper Networks Acquisition Set For EU Approval: Report

Hewlett Packard Expected To Secure Unconditional EU Antitrust Approval For Juniper Acquisition

After a turbulent week in the markets, the bulls reclaimed dominance on Wall Street during Friday&#8217;s session, with indices and sectors trading in positive territory as investors welcomed the latest corporate earnings results and further confirmation of inflation progressing toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">the Fed&#8217;s 2% target.</a>
In June, the Personal Consumption Expenditure price index – the Fed&#8217;s preferred measure of inflation – dropped to 2.5% year-on-year, as anticipated, marking the lowest level since February 2021. The core component slightly exceeded expectations, remaining <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/07/39987142/feds-favorite-inflation-gauge-keeps-falling-but-fed-wants-durable-downward-trend-economist-says">steady at 2.6% annually.</a>
Investors are unwavering in their expectations for a Fed interest rate cut in September, assigning it a 100% probability and factoring in nearly three cumulative rate cuts by year-end.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average led the charge on Friday, with the blue-chip index surging 1.9%, setting the stage for its strongest session this year. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 rebounded significantly, climbing 1.6%, which halted the tech sector&#8217;s decline but wasn&#8217;t enough to reverse a negative weekly close. 
The Russell 2000, as tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), also posted a solid gain of 1.3%.
Rate-sensitive sectors continued their rally, with homebuilders, as tracked by the SPDR Homebuilders ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XHB#NYSE">XHB</a>), rising over 3% for the day, reaching all-time highs and marking their third <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39988310/homebuilder-stocks-rally-to-record-highs-on-rate-cut-frenzy-but-housing-sales-still-struggle">consecutive positive weekly close.</a>
In the bond market, Treasuries rose as yields dipped slightly, especially in longer-dated maturities.
Gold also rallied, increasing by 1%, while oil prices dropped by 1%. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 2.5%, marking its second consecutive positive session after three negative ones.

The U.S. economy posted a notable 2.8% real growth in the second quarter, doubling the first quarter&#8217;s pace and exceeding the 2% growth estimate.
Adding to the positive outlook, the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index showed cooling price pressures, dropping from 3.4% to 2.6%, signaling progress toward the 2% target.
At midday, major U.S. averages traded positively, with all eleven sectors of the S&amp;P 500 posting gains. The S&amp;P 500 index was up 1%, and the Dow gained a robust 1.3%.

Stocks Rebound As US Economy Flexes Muscles, Small Caps Rally, Gold Falls: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Sentiment continues to be jittery, with the major index futures priming for a lower opening on Thursday as traders look ahead to the first read of second-quarter GDP data and more earnings. The tech space could once again drag the broader market after a few disappointing earnings reports from the likes of Franco-Italian chipmaker STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STM#NYSE">STM</a>), which predominantly supplies to the automotive end market, and semiconductor test-equipment company Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>).
Traders may also stay glued to second-quarter GDP data to confirm the slowdown suggested by some recent data does not point to a hard landing. That said, bond yields are dipping as the market, factoring in not-so-positive economic data, and commodities are moving to the downside.

In premarket trading on Thursday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) moved down 0.24% to $539.94, while the Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) fell 0.43% to $461.40, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>. Cues From Last Session:
Mega-cap earnings proved to be the undoing of the market on Wednesday, triggering an across-the-board sell-off. The major indices opened lower, with the sell-off intensifying in early trading after S&amp;P Global&#8217;s manufacturing purchasing managers&#8217; index unexpectedly fell into contraction territory and new home sales for June unexpectedly declined.
The key averages declined steadily through the session before closing the day notably lower. The S&amp;P 500 Index and the Nasdaq pulled back to their lowest closes since June 12 and June 11, respectively, while the 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average fell to a nearly two-week low. 
On a percentage basis, the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite indices posted their worst performances since Dec. 15, 2022 and Oct. 7, 2000, respectively, <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-futures-retreat-as-big-tech-earnings-disappoint/card/nasdaq-s-p-500-end-with-worst-days-since-2022-after-sharp-selloff-in-stocks-51c9PsIEmZRNo2D3h3Jc?mod=bnbh">according</a> to MarketWatch. 
Defensive utility, healthcare and consumer staple stocks escaped the brunt of the selling pressure, which was manifested more acutely in IT, communication services and consumer discretionary stocks. Energy stocks also posted modest gains.
Small-caps also joined their large-cap counterparts in the sell-off, with the Russell 2,000 slipping over 2%.

Insights From Analysts:
Morgan Stanley Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson in a podcast on Monday said the perceived underperformers under a Donald Trump presidency are alternative energy stocks and stocks of companies likely to be affected the most by increased tariffs. He noted that it is a widely-held view that Trump&#8217;s win in conjunction with a Republican sweep could be particularly beneficial for banks, small-caps, energy infrastructure and even industrials.
These cyclical areas that are perceived to outperform under a Trump Presidency did work in 2016 and through part of 2017, but they did even better during Biden&#8217;s first year, Wilson said. &#8220;Our rationale on this front is that the cycle plays a larger role in how stocks trade broadly and at the sector level than who is in the White House,&#8221; he said.
These cyclicals show &#8220;strong, but often not quite as strong performance in mid-cycle periods like 2016-17. They tend to show less strong returns later in the cycle like the current period,&#8221; he said.
Wilson also delved into the lower-quality, small-cap rally, attributing it to the combination of softer consumer price inflation data and hopes for an earlier Fed cut combined with dealer demand and short covering from investors on the back of Trump's improving odds.
&#8220;For those looking to the 2016 playbook,  we would point out that relative earnings revisions for small-cap cyclicals are much weaker today than they were during that period,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Based on the evidence to date, we  would resist the urge to chase this cohort and lean back into large-cap quality and defensives.&#8221;
Charlie Bilello, chief market strategist at Creative Planning Investor, shared a graphic that showed the spread between the small and large caps, suggesting the &#8220;largest 10-day Small Cap outperformance ever.&#8221;

Upcoming Economic Data:
<ul>
<li>The Bureau of Economic Analysis is due to release the first estimate of second-quarter GDP at 8:30 a.m. EDT. Economists, on average, expect annualized quarterly GDP growth of 2.1% compared to the 1.4% growth in the first quarter. Traders may also keep an eye on the inflation components of the report, namely the annual rate of personal consumption expenditure and the GDP deflator.</li>
<li>The Labor Department will release its weekly jobless claims report at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits may have come in at 235,000 in the week ended July 20 compared to 243,000 in the previous week.</li>
<li>The Commerce Department is scheduled to release the durables goods orders report for June at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The consensus estimate calls for a 0.3% month-over-month increase in orders for durable goods, faster than the 0.1% growth in May. Excluding the volatile transportation orders, that may have increased 0.2%, reversing part of the 0.1% drop in May.</li>

Nasdaq, S&P Futures Slide On More Negative Tech Tidings As Focus Shifts To Q2 GDP Data: Strategist Says Trump Trades May Not Work Even If Ex-President Retakes White House

About <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39769910/goldman-sachs-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-investment-banking-fees-up-21-hikes-dividend">14% of the S&amp;P 500 companies have reported their June quarter earnings</a> and the blended earnings growth rate for the companies constituting the broader index remains healthy. The coming week will see the official start of the tech reporting season, which could potentially decide the fate of the market, which has seen a steep pullback in the recent week.
The Week That Was: The tech earnings season had a modest start last week with the earnings report from chip-equipment maker ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>). The stock slumped about 16%, dragged by its weak third-quarter outlook and geopolitical concerns surrounding the China chip ban. Netflix, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) guidance disappointed investors, but with sell-side analysts raving over the results, the stock did not get hammered.
Investors cheered earnings reports from the remaining big banks, namely Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>). A rebound in investment banking business and strong trading revenue helped the banks shore up their topline.
Of these companies, 80% reported earnings per share above estimates compared to the five-year average of 77%, said FactSet in its latest earnings insight <a href="https://advantage.factset.com/hubfs/Website/Resources%20Section/Research%20Desk/Earnings%20Insight/EarningsInsight_071924.pdf">report.</a> The average upside is about 5.5%, which, however, is below the five-year average of 8.6%.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">Best Tech Stocks Right Now</a>
Earnings Trend: The blended earnings growth rate for the S&amp;P 500 companies for the second quarter is currently estimated at 9.7%, up from 9.1% in the previous week, FactSet noted. If the estimate is hit, the actual growth rate for the quarter will mark the highest year-over-year rate reported since the fourth quarter of 2021, it added. The second quarter will also likely mark the fourth consecutive quarter of growth.
Eight of the qq S&amp;P 500 sectors are expected to report year-over-year earnings growth, with four, namely communication services, healthcare, IT, and financials, likely reporting double-digit earnings growth. On the other hand, three sectors will likely report earnings declines, led by the materials sector.
The Week Ahead: The unfolding week will see earnings reports from 138 S&amp;P 500 companies, including seven Dow 30 components, Factset report said. The earnings slate for the week includes companies from the telecom, auto, steel, chip, homebuilding, defense, airline and tech industries.
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Alphabet, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) are among the closely watched copmanies, given their heavy weightings in the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq indices. Tesla is widely expected to report a sharp year-over-year decline in its earnings per share from 91 cents to 62 cents, while revenue may have seen a much more modest 0.80% decline to $24.73 billion. The greater impact on the bottom line comes from the price cuts that Elon Musk&#8216;s company has relied on to push volume in a challenging demand environment.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39810457/as-tesla-stock-bounces-back-fund-manager-says-elon-musk-led-company-offers-good-set">Analysts and fund managers are optimistic</a> after the company reported a deliveries beat for the quarter. They also expect an inflection in the second-half of the year.
Alphabet&#8217;s earnings are important because it is the first among the AI-levered mega-cap companies to release its quarterly results, which might set the tempo for the earnings from the rest in the space. 
The stock market took a hit last week as major indices retreated from their record highs.The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), an index that tracks the performance of the Nasdaq 100 Index, ended Friday&#8217;s session down 0.89% to $475.24, according to Benzinga Pro data. The ETF is trading off its record close of $502.96 reached on July 10. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) fell 0.66% on Friday before closing at $548.99.

Tesla, Alphabet, GM, Ford Lead Earnings Parade This Week As Market Struggles To Sustain The Summer Rally

Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jnpr#NYSE">JNPR</a>) recently announced that Telxius, a leading global connectivity provider, has opted to leverage Juniper Converged Optical Routing Architecture (CORA) and PTX Series Packet Transport Routers to upgrade its network infrastructure. Telxius is aiming to scale its core and edge network infrastructure to 400G, thereby enhancing network capacity and boosting connectivity to metro networks and data center interconnects.
With the growing digital economy, there is an increasing proliferation of high bandwidth intensive applications among customers. Frequent network upgrades to address this surge in demand is a challenging task, as it immensely raises operational costs and also complicates network architecture.
Juniper&#39;s solution effectively addresses this issue. The company&#39;s offerings include CORA, a flexible, sustainable and automated solution that utilizes IP (Internet Protocol) over DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology. By integrating IP routing and optical transport functions into a single network layer, the solution reduces complexity in network architecture, simplifies operations, significantly reduces energy consumption and maximizes routing platform capacity.&nbsp;
The solution facilitates seamless upgrades to higher bandwidths, accommodating increasing data traffic without major infrastructure overhauls. By eliminating the need for separate IP routers and optical transport systems, IPoDWDM reduces equipment-related costs and space requirements.
Telxius boasts an extensive global footprint, delivering connectivity across Spain, the Americas and other parts of Europe. Its network includes more than 100,000 km of fiber optic submarine cables and terrestrial backhauls, offering a wide array of capacity, colocation and security services. Migration of key architecture to Juniper&#39;s CORA and PTX will free up a significant amount of reserved bandwidth for Telxius and ensure a seamless extension to 400G capacity.&nbsp;
Juniper&#39;s solution will offer enhanced network scalability and bandwidth efficiency while optimizing power and space utilization. This will create a more sustainable, resilient and future-proof network infrastructure, enabling Telxius to deliver consistent connectivity to end users and support advanced applications.
The collaboration with Telxius underscores the growing demand for Juniper&#39;s comprehensive networking portfolio. This will likely boost its prospects and strengthen its position in the wireless equipment industry.
Shares of Juniper have gained 23.6% over the past year compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 39%.

The Milano Cortina 2026 Foundation And Juniper Networks Signed A Partnership Agreement For Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic And Paralympic Winter Games

The European Commission regulators are reportedly set to decide by August 1 on whether to approve Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36571415/its-official-hewlett-packard-enterprise-buys-juniper-networks-in-a-massive-14b-deal">$14 billion acquisition</a> of Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNPR#NYSE">JNPR</a>).
Announced in January, the deal aims to enhance Hewlett Packard Enterprise&#8217;s artificial intelligence offerings and expand its networking business, reflecting the strategic focus on AI as a key growth driver for many firms. Reuters reported the expected date, citing a filing on the Commission&#8217;s website on Friday.
The European Commission, serving as the EU&#8217;s competition watchdog, may approve the deal with or without conditions following its initial assessment, or initiate a comprehensive investigation.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is anticipated to point to market leader and Juniper rival Cisco Systems, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) to address EU competition concerns, per the report.
Additionally, the UK competition authority is reviewing the deal, expecting a decision by August 14.
The deal was for an all-cash transaction for $40.00 per share. The purchase price represents a premium of around 32% to the unaffected closing price of JNPR&#8217;s common stock on January 8, 2024, the last full trading day before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/36557936" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">media reports regarding a possible transaction.</a>
Post transaction closure, Juniper CEO Rami Rahim will lead the combined HPE networking business and will report to HPE President and CEO Antonio Neri.
Also, the combination is expected to achieve operating efficiencies and run-rate annual cost synergies of $450 million within 36 months.&nbsp;
Price Action: HPE shares are trading higher by 0.08% to $21.06&nbsp;at last check Friday.

This Kroger Analyst Turns Bullish; Here Are Top 5 Upgrades For Tuesday

Earlier this year, Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNPR#NYSE">JNPR</a>) had received <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39166250/hewlett-packard-enterprise-to-boost-private-5g-deployment">a deal to be acquired by</a> Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>).
The definitive agreement inked by the company to be acquired by HPE is likely to go through as planned, according to Argus Research.
The Juniper Networks Analyst: Jim Kelleher upgraded the rating on Juniper Networks from Hold to Buy, with a price target of $40.
The Juniper Networks Thesis: The all-cash transaction represents an equity value of about $14 billion and is expected to close in late 2024 or early 2025, Kelleher said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
"The gap between the current JNPR price and the acquisition price is 13%, indicating a bit of uncertainty among investors that this deal will close on current terms," the analyst wrote. The stock has declined by 3% over the past three months, underperforming the 6% gain for the S&amp;P 500, he added.
"Over the past year, they have also underperformed the S&amp;P 500, with a gain of 13% compared to the index's 26% gain, and the shares have underperformed over the past five years," Kelleher stated. While HPE's deal represents high multiples, "we see Juniper as a good long-term strategic fit with HPEs' Intelligent Edge business and regard the purchase price as fair," he added.
JNPR Price Action: Shares of Juniper Networks were flat at $35.50 at the time of publication on Tuesday.
