Calix: On The Sidelines After Recent Strength

  • Calix reported a strong quarter with revenue growth of 7% YoY, driven by demand pull-forward and progress in its SaaS and subscription model transition. Despite a bullish stock run, the current valuation at ~53x forward EPS seems extended; a more attractive entry point would be around 22-24x 2026 P/E. Q2 revenue guidance appears soft due to macroeconomic challenges and demand pull-forward, but annualized growth remains promising.
