EXECUTIVE THESIS

The Investment Case

Full Analysis
Fundamental Trajectory

Revenue growth has accelerated to 52.5% year-over-year in Q4 FY26, but operating margins have compressed to just 2.5% due to a disproportionate 78% year-over-year surge in SG&A expenses to $157.7M.

The Bull Case

Upside Catalysts

Strong post-earnings rally

VIAV rallied 17.5% on D+1 and is up 32.6% since earnings, significantly outperforming SOX and NASDAQ indices, confirming the bullish thesis.

Successful business pivot

The company's multi-year shift from telco-dependent to data center/A&D-driven revenue is now measurable and accelerating, validating its strategic direction.

Attractive valuation metrics

VIAV's forward P/E of 32.68 suggests improving earnings potential compared to its trailing P/E of 85.13, indicating potential for multiple expansion.
