$FNSR Daily and Weekly Chart

FNSR around current levels is extremely attractive!!!

Finisar's industry-leading products include optical transceivers, optical engines, active optical cables, optical components, optical instrumentation, ROADM & wavelength management, optical amplifiers, and RF-over-Fiber.

Its world-class products enable high-speed voice, video and data communications for networking, storage, wireless, and cable TV applications, and for more than 25 years has created critical breakthroughs in optics technology and supplied system manufacturers with the production volumes needed to meet the exploding demand for network bandwidth.

Apple, Inc. (AAPL) announced it's giving Finisar Corporation (FNSR) $390M to build a new 700,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Sherman, Texas. Finisar is going to hire 500 people to work on the laser sensor in the TrueDepth camera in the iPhone X.

The investment of Apple's commitment to invest $1B in U.S.-based companies with its Advanced Manufacturing Fund.

Apple says that Finisar is going to work on both research & development and high-volume production of optical communications components. The most complicated components are the vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) used in the iPhone X for Face ID, Animoji, Portrait mode and other face-mapping technologies. But Finisar also works on proximity sensors including the ones in the AirPods.

It's quite easy to understand why Apple is investing in Finisar. There are simply not enough suppliers in this field today. In the fourth quarter of 2017 alone, the Company will purchase 10 times more VCSEL wafers than the entire VCSEL production in the world during the fourth quarter of 2016. So Apple needs to foster production.

The new facility should be up and running at some point during the second half of 2018.

Prior to Apples announcement, FNSR's market cap was roughly $2.2B - trading at a forward P/E of just over 13 and a five year price to earnings growth rate of just over 1, and an intrinsic book value of 1.35. So, as you can see, even without Apple's investment, Finisar was arguably already somewhat undervalued. And with the Apple news, seals the attractive valuation metrics we like to look for when it comes to growth opportunities on a go-forward basis.

Further, Finisar has over $1.2B in cash on the books, and a management debt level of just over $720M. The Company increased 2017 earnings by over 500%, and is expected to grow its bottom line by over 15% over the next five years. This is all without the Apple deal, which now puts Finisar in the spotlight as the global technology leader in optical communications.

Currently trading at $16.65 we have a technical long term target right around $43.

Finisar Corp $FNSR Dumps After U.S. Bans Sales To China's ZTE, Watch This Trade Level

This morning, many of the leading optical device makers are plunging lower on the session. The decline comes after the U.S. Commerce Department banned domestic companies from selling components to Chinese telecom gear maker ZTE. Leading optical device makers such as Finisar Corp (NASDAQ:FNSR), Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LITE), Oclaro Inc (NASDAQ-OCLR) and Acadia Communications (NASDAQ:ACIA) are all under early selling pressure today.

Finisar Corp (NASDAQ-FNSR) has been down trending since March 2017. At that time, FNSR stock traded as high as $35.00 a share. Today, FNSR stock is trading lower by 0.76 to $15.52 a share. Traders should note that the stock should have some very solid support around the $13.75 area. This is where the stock broke out on February 2016. Very often, past breakout levels will be defended when initially tested. Finisar Corp is expected to report earnings on May 1, 2018.

$FNSR Apple Awards $390 Million to FaceID Tech Company Finisar

Source: Dow Jones News
By Cara Lombardo

Apple Inc. (AAPL) on Wednesday said it awarded $390 million to Finisar Corp. (FNSR), which produces technology used in Apple's facial-recognition.

The award, from Apple's Advanced Manufacturing Fund, will allow Finisar to increase research and development and production of its vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, or VCSELs. Finisar is Apple's second-largest supplier of VCSELs, which are used in several of Apple's new features on the iPhone X, including Portrait mode selfies, Apple said.

The news sent Finisar shares up 17% premarket.

Finisar last week said it had started shipping production quantities of the VCSELs. The device is critical to the Apple's FaceID recognition system, providing the 3D sensing capabilities that detect a face. Finisar plans a 700,000-square-foot production facility in Texas to produce VCSEL arrays.

Apple has said it will spend its $1 billion Advanced Manufacturing Fund investing in innovative production at domestic companies. Corning Inc. (GLW) received $200 million from the fund in May to expand high-tech glass processing, which was the fund's first award.

"Although the company believes its new products will enable the company's top-line to grow in the second half of calendar year 2012, it remains to be seen, as it is very difficult for new products to show traction during downturns," Kang wrote in a note to investors.

The analyst backed his "Buy" rating citing Finisar's current valuation, but cut his price target to $18.70 from $27.20, saying that the company's profits for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014 will be lower than he previously expected.

Finisar Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2012 Financial Results
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/finisar-announces-fourth-quarter-fiscal-200000716.html

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire -06/11/12)- Finisar Corporation (FNSR), a global technology leader for subsystems and components for fiber optic communications, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended April 30, 2012.

COMMENTARY

"In our just completed fiscal fourth quarter, our revenues were $239.9 million. Continued strength in datacom revenues were offset by lower telecom revenues. The lower telecom revenues were primarily the result of sluggish carrier capital expenditures and the full three month impact of annual price reductions for telecom products. We were pleased that our gross margin for the quarter exceeded our guidance, resulting in earnings per diluted share which was at the upper end of our guidance range," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board.

"We continued to invest in research and development and make good progress on a number of new innovative products, including additional customer qualifications of our tunable XFP transceivers and design wins for our Flexgrid wavelength selective switches, ROADM linecards, 40G and 100G products," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer. "While the current level of carrier capital expenditures has muted the near term revenue impact of these new products, we believe that this progress has set a strong foundation for revenue growth in the second half of 2012 and beyond."

(a) In evaluating the operating performance of Finisar's business, Finisar
management utilizes financial measures that exclude certain charges
and credits required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,
or GAAP, that are considered by management to be outside Finisar's
core operating results. A reconciliation of Finisar's non-GAAP
financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as
well as additional related information, can be found under the heading
"Finisar Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Operating Statement Highlights for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012:

Revenues decreased to $239.9 million, down $3.0 million, or 1.3%, from $243.0 million in the preceding quarter, as continued strength in sales of datacom products was offset by lower telecom product revenue primarily as the result of sluggish carrier capital expenditure levels and a full three month impact of annual price reductions for telecom products most of which, as in prior years, went into effect in January.

Compared to the preceding quarter, the sale of products for datacom applications increased by $12.3 million, or 9.2%, and the sale of products for telecom applications decreased by $15.4 million, or (14.1)%.

Gross margin was 27.3% on a GAAP basis and 31.4% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 29.3% and 31.8% in the preceding quarter reflecting the impact of the annual price reductions for telecom products over the full quarter.

GAAP operating income increased $0.8 million to $12.1 million, or 5.0% of revenues, compared to $11.3 million, or 4.7% of revenues in the preceding quarter.

Non-GAAP operating income decreased $3.1 million to $20.9 million, or 8.7% of revenues, compared to $24.0 million, or 9.9% of revenues, in the preceding quarter, due to slightly lower revenue levels and slightly higher operating expenses due to higher employee benefit and payroll tax amounts associated with the beginning of the calendar year.

Non-GAAP EBITDA decreased $1.1 million to $34.2 million, or 14.2% of revenues, compared to $35.2 million, or 14.5% of revenues in the preceding quarter.

Balance Sheet Highlights for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012:

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $234.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter, compared to $218.3 million at the end of the preceding quarter.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Finisar had approximately $40.0 million in principal amount of convertible notes outstanding with a conversion price of $10.675 per share.

At the end of the fourth quarter, our Ignis subsidiary also had outstanding debt equivalent to approximately $3.2 million, which is reflected in Finisar's consolidated balance sheet.

Operating Statement Highlights for fiscal year 2012:

Revenues increased to $952.6 million, up $3.8 million, or 0.4%, from $948.8 million in the preceding year.

Compared to the preceding year, the sale of products for datacom applications increased by $59.0 million, or 12.3%, and the sale of products for telecom applications decreased by $55.2 million, or (11.7)%.

Gross margin was 28.7% on a GAAP basis and 31.9% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 32.9% and 34.8% in the preceding year. The decrease in gross margin primarily reflects a decline in average selling prices, partially offset by reduced material costs, as well as under-utilization of certain manufacturing facilities, and consolidation of the financial results of Ignis, whose products have an average gross margin lower than the overall corporate average gross margin.

GAAP operating income decreased $72.4 million to $39.3 million, or 4.1% of revenues, compared to $111.7 million, or 11.8% of revenues in the preceding year. Decrease was the result of lower gross margin and an increase in operating expenses due to increases in employee related expenses, costs of materials associated with new product development, and the consolidation of financial results of Ignis.

Non-GAAP operating income decreased $58.4 million to $89.3 million, or 9.4% of revenues, compared to $147.7 million, or 15.6% of revenues.

Non-GAAP EBITDA decreased $48.2 million to $135.2 million, or 14.2% of revenues, compared to $183.4 million, or 19.3% of revenues in the preceding year.

OUTLOOK

The Company indicated that it currently expects revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to be in the range of $218 to $233 million; GAAP operating margin to in the range of approximately 0.5% to 2.0%; non-GAAP operating margin to be in the range of approximately 5.5% to 7.0% and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be in the range of approximately $0.11 to $0.15.
