Why Ciena Stock Tanked by Almost 9% on Tuesday

Published August 18, 2026 · Category: Finance

Overview

A significant price target reduction by an analyst was a headwind buffeting Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) on the second trading day of the week. The $100-per-share cut drained optimism for the tech stock, and its price fell by nearly 9% during the day's trading session.

That pundit, TD Cowen's Joshua Buchalter, now believes Ciena's equity is worth $575 per share, well down from his previous fair value assessment of $675. Despite the chop, the analyst maintained his buy recommendation on the veteran tech stock.
