Bank of America projects that Ciena Corporation, a maker of optical networking equipment, will see revenue growth between 35% and 40% in 2026 due to strong demand for AI infrastructure exceeding supply. Key growth drivers include increased spending by cloud providers, especially on Ciena's Reconfigurable Line System and Waveserver platforms, and a threefold rise in pluggable optical transceivers. The company also has a $10 billion backlog, providing visibility into future demand. However, growth depends on Ciena's ability to manage supply constraints and successfully deliver new customer programs, with potential for sustained growth above 30% annually through new data center connections and management solutions.
