Shares of tech and software stocks are trading lower amid an overall market reversal as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

Ciena's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) short percent of float has risen 38.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.20 million shares sold short, which is 4.77% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.13 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Ciena Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744225219_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Ciena has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Ciena's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Ciena's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.17%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Shares of communication equipment stocks are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Rosenblatt analyst Mike Genovese upgraded Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) from Neutral to Buy and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/COHR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from</a> $115 to $85 on Friday.
Genovese is upbeat on sequential re-acceleration in AI transceivers by the second half of calendar 2025, driven by the Blackwell rollout and Coherent ZR transceiver demand for Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and telecom application that is very strong.
The analyst is bullish on the transceiver market through 2030 and increasingly views co-packaged optics (CPO) as more of an opportunity than a threat because of new products like Ultra-High-Power (UHP) lasers and Optical Circuit Switches (OCS).
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44517267/whats-going-on-with-coherent-stock-thursday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coherent Stock Slides as It Plans to Offload Fabrication Site Near University of Illinois</a>
Coherent is also making solid progress in commercializing 200G VCSELs and 100G and 200G EMLs.
Additional reasons for liking Coherent are the strong new CEO, Jim Anderson.
The stock has pulled back to its historical (pre-AI) valuation of under 13 times forward earnings. This likely signals that the buy side believes numbers need to come down due to demand destruction from the new tariffs, including 24% on Malaysian goods.
Genovese did not change estimates, primarily because of the very positive demand messages he heard from companies at the Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) this week. Another reason is that tariffs still seem to be a potentially moving target.
The analyst considers Coherent to be a long-term leader in AI Optics.
Coherent has increased 800G Datacom transceiver revenues every quarter for the last couple of years and now does ~$300 million per quarter in sales. This makes Coherent #2 in global market share after Innolight.
While sequential growth for Coherent in 800G has continued, it has slowed recently.
Investors are now openly discussing Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44645946/microsoft-halts-data-center-expansions-due-to-semiconductor-tariff-concerns-ai-overcapacity-fears" rel="noreferrer noopener">delaying some new</a> Data Center builds.
Nevertheless, the analyst expects Coherent&#8217;s and the overall market&#8217;s 800G Datacom transceiver sales to accelerate in the September and December quarters, driven by attachments to shipments of Blackwell GPUs ordered in the first half of 2025.
In the second quarter of 2025, Coherent&#8217;s Telecom revenues grew 11% year over year, following 17% year over year growth in the first quarter of 2025.
The company noted the strong ramp of new products and said it expects these products to continue to grow over the coming quarters.
Coherent management echoed these sentiments when Genovese met with them this week at OFC.
In addition, Ciena Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) and Cisco Systems, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) said that the demand for Hyper-Scale DCI remains incredibly strong at OFC this week. However, any chatter investors hear about Microsoft, in particular, slowing down on some new Data Center investments.
At the OFC meeting, Coherent said it has the vendor&#8217;s most extensive portfolio of CPO components. The company also said CPO equipment is currently 2 to 4 times more expensive than transceiver equipment since it is new and esoteric. Coherent told the analyst it is participating in OCS deployments this year at a significant Hyper Scaler and is engaged in similar planning and bids with others.
According to the analyst&#8217;s checks, Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>) is still significantly ahead in EML capacity, but Coherent is finally getting close to ramping up its own EML production.
Genovese is confident that Coherent can expand its production of indium phosphide lasers, including EMLs and CWs, over time.
Coherent has manufacturing locations around the world, including Malaysia (24% tariff), China (54% tariff), other Asian countries (tariff rates mostly between Malaysia and China), and Europe (20% tariff).
Genovese projected third-quarter revenue of $1.44 billion and EPS of 85 cents.
Price Action: Coherent stock is down 9% at $49.06 at last check Friday.

Lumen Technologies And Ciena Establish 1.2 Terabit Wavelength Service Trial Across 3,050 Kilometers On Lumen's Ultra-Low-Loss Fiber Network, Making It The World's Longest 1.2 Terabit Non-Regenerated Signal.

Looking into the current session, Ciena Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) shares are trading at $65.00, after a 1.37% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 23.24%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 30.29%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Ciena P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 786.58 in the Communications Equipment industry, Ciena Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 119.82. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742481919_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Tesla To $120? Here Are 10 Top Analyst Forecasts For Wednesday

Ciena Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) shares were climbing Wednesday after the company announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44245291/ciena-q1-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-estimates-ceo-eyes-ai-cloud-network-tailwinds">upbeat fiscal first-quarter results</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Needham On Ciena</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5bab9cad211e200001963493/ryan-koontz">Analyst Ryan Koontz</a> maintained a Buy rating while reducing the price target from $95 to $90.
Ciena's quarterly revenues grew 3% year-on-year to $1,072 million, beating consensus of $1,052 million, Koontz said in a note. Non-GAAP earnings of 64 cents per share were well above expectations of 41 cents per share, with gross margins coming in much higher than expected, he added.
Some investors grew concerned as management's fiscal second-quarter guidance was only in line with expectations, the analyst stated. "Strong execution paired with best-in-class technology and customer relationships should see CIEN continue to gain meaningful market share in its core TAM, although we are less bullish on its two new product segments," he further wrote.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rosenblatt Securities On Ciena</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/628b6bab3547bd000104dc00/mike-genovese">Analyst Mike Genovese</a> reaffirmed a Neutral rating while cutting the price target from $79 to $73.
Ciena's healthy quarterly results were highlighted by strong orders, backlog build and gross margins, Genovese said. He added that the company's revenue guidance for the fiscal second quarter was not as strong as the beat.
Management maintained the full-year gross margin guidance at 42%-44% despite the first-quarter gross margins of 44.7%, which exceeded consensus by 270 basis points, the analyst stated.
The Street seemed to be concerned about the impact of tariffs and "demand destruction" from a potential recession this year, he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stifel On Ciena</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ad935ab85e930001f97192/ruben-roy">Analyst Ruben Roy</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $95.
Ciena reported strong results across the board, Roy said. The company's order momentum continued, with direct orders from cloud service providers representing over 50% of overall orders during the quarter, he added.
With SP revenues growing 14% in the first quarter, "We continue to believe that CIEN is the best way to play our expectations for a continued SP recovery over the next 12-18 months," the analyst wrote. 
Management indicated that its guidance could be missed depending on "the outcome of proposed tariffs," he further stated.
CIEN Price Action: Shares of Ciena had risen by 4.18% to $66.62 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
