Juniper Networks on Tuesday, February 4, released information about its earnings for the fourth quarter of 2024, which exceeded analysts’ preliminary expectations, helped by steady consumer demand for the company’s networking gear amid the so-called artificial intelligence boom.
The mentioned firm, based in Sunnyvale, California, provides technologies that are used to optimize data traffic on large-scale networks. The consumers of the relevant products are cloud and internet service providers.
Currently, companies operating in the cloud computing area are investing billions of dollars to optimize their data center infrastructure. Against this background, the demand for networking solutions offered by firms such as Juniper is growing.
Juniper’s net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 were recorded at the $1.4 billion mark. This indicator showed an increase of 3% year-on-year. At the same time, the average forecast of analysts surveyed by LSEG predicted that the company’s net revenues for the last quarter of 2024 would be fixed at the $1.39 billion mark.
Juniper’s net revenues for the whole of 2024 amounted to $5.07 billion. This indicator decreased by 9% compared to the figure recorded in 2023.
Juniper’s chief executive officer, Rami Rahim, said the company saw another quarter of strong demand during the fourth quarter of 2024.
It is worth mentioning that last week the United States Department of Justice sued to block Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s $14 billion deal to acquire Juniper. In this context, it was noted that the implementation of the mentioned business agreement would stifle competition.
