On CAPS, 98%of the 1,853 members who have rated Infinera believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last month, one of those bulls, JoeArizona, succinctly summed up the Infinera bull case for our community:
Faster optical networks are coming, but big players are careful about upgrades. Once the Infinera DTN-X platform gains a track record at small communication providers, the big telecoms will place big orders. When that happens, the stock will skyrocket.
If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite its perfect five-star rating, Infinera may not be your top choice.
