iPhone Speculation Helps Finisar Stock, but There's Competition

Shares of Finisar (NASDAQ: FNSR) took a beating in March after the company's third-quarter financial performance wasn't good enough to match Wall Street's expectations. In fact, the fiber-optic components supplier has failed to meet analysts' estimates over the last two quarters despite reporting impressive year-over-year growth in its revenue and earnings.

When Finisar reported fiscal fourth-quarter results last month, its revenue missed analyst expectations by a whisker, while the midpoints of its revenue and earnings guidance for Q1 were way below expectations. Still, Finisar shares soared as investors latched onto a potential design win from Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) for the next iPhone.
