Juniper shares jump on improved outlook



NEW YORK—Shares of Juniper Networks Inc., the world`s second-biggest maker of equipment to direct Internet traffic, climbed 31 per cent yesterday after fourth-quarter earnings rose 74 per cent and the company said profit this quarter will top analyst estimates as sales increase by a third.

Juniper jumped $7 (U.S.) to $29.93 in regular Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading. Shares continued to climb in after-hours trading, adding another 4 cents, to $29.97, according to Island ECN.

Juniper expects first-quarter sales of $210 million to $215 million, with profit excluding certain costs rising to 8 cents a share. It is benefiting from growing demand for routers to direct traffic along Internet Protocol networks as phone companies upgrade systems with the technology, which sends voice calls less expensively as data packets similar to e-mail.

Juniper said late Thursday it expects first-quarter profit, excluding certain costs, to increase to 8 cents a share from 2 cents a year ago. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial expected profit of 5 cents on that basis and sales of $186.6 million. Revenue was $157.2 million in the year-ago quarter.

Telephone companies face increased competition from cable providers, which are starting to offer phone service over IP networks, said Timm Bechter, an analyst at Legg Mason Wood Walker Inc.

The shift benefits suppliers such as Juniper, whose routers support so-called "next-generation" networks that can handle voice, video and data, he said.

Juniper`s fourth-quarter net income rose to $14.7 million, or 4 cents a share, from $8.5 million, or 2 cents, a year earlier. Sales increased 33 per cent to $207 million.

"Like most revered high-tech stocks, Juniper`s business doesn`t appear to benefit shareholders in any way. On a cumulative basis, the company`s efforts since its founding in 1998 add up to a loss of $13 million dollars. Of course, this GAAP accounting doesn`t include Juniper`s biggest expense: stock options. Juniper`s management thoughtfully passes this cost along to shareholders directly.

"This, of course, is de rigueur for tech companies. But Juniper`s board of directors threw gas onto the fire by agreeing to re-price all of the outstanding employee stock options, near the bottom of the market in tech shares. Today Juniper has 75 million stock options outstanding with an average strike price of $10.71. With the stock doing so well lately, these outstanding, off-balance sheet obligations provide investors with a fascinating quandary.

"At current share prices, Juniper`s employees` options have an intrinsic value of $1.296 billion dollars. Meanwhile, Juniper`s total shareholder equity only equals $1.5 billion. Thus, at current prices, Juniper`s outstanding option grants to its employees are worth ~ 80% of its equity.

"The more bullish investors bid up the price of this stock, the smaller their own claims to the company`s equity becomes. This is the only time I can recall seeing a stock actually become worth less, the more someone offered to pay for it. I`m not quite sure what to make of it...

"Juniper`s managers, however, are not so curious. They seem quite able to chart a proper course of action: they`re selling - like there is no tomorrow. So far this year (2004) Juniper`s CEO has dumped 500,000 shares, worth more than $14 million dollars. The company`s CFO isn`t far behind: he`s dumped about $6 million worth of stock.

"Like lab monkeys on cocaine, these guys see no reason to stop hitting the feeder bar. If shareholders are going to reward them for diluting their stock and dumping new shares on the market, why stop with giving stock to Juniper`s employees?"
