“Ceragon reported a solid 4Q18 ahead of expectations, reflecting continued good execution and steady market trends outside of India. Positively, Ceragon’s BtB was >1 and its seeing share gains across several regions (Latin in some verticals in North America. Continued 4G expansion and early 5G activity bodes well for 2019-20 (steady YoY sales, more net income expansion), in our view, though 1Q19 is showing a bigger sales decline than we expected due to a pause in India/seasonality. We’re adjusting our model accordingly, noting that management expressed good visibility into 2Q-3Q19 improvement as India installations normalize. Maintain Outperform, raising PT to $5.00 from $4.50. Our thesis is unchanged; we’re positive on more share gains/net income expansion driven by steady execution, tech. differentiation, and all-outdoor leadership.”
