According to Zach, the company could be an interesting play for investors. That is because, not only does the stock have decent short-term momentum, but it is also seeing solid activity on the earnings estimate revision front as well. These positive earnings estimate revisions suggest that analysts are becoming more optimistic on CRNT’s earnings for the coming quarter and year. In the past 30 days, only 1 estimate has gone higher for Ceragon Networks with no downward revisions in the same time period. The trend has been pretty favorable too, with estimates increasing from 1 cent a share 30 days ago, to 2 cents today, making a significant move.
