L'investitore crede che le azioni di Harmonic, attualmente scambiate a circa $12, potrebbero apprezzarsi fino a circa $20 per azione, tramite il raggiungimento degli obiettivi di banda larga del 2026 o attraverso un processo di vendita.

Ancora는 Harmonic이 Ciena와 같은 자본이 풍부한 인수자의 관심을 끌 수 있다고 제안합니다. 발표에서는 경영진의 열악한 투자자 커뮤니케이션을 비판하며, 이는 강력한 재무 성과와 시장 주도 혁신에도 불구하고 낮은 거래 배수로 이어졌다고 봅니다. Ancora는 Harmonic의 이사회와 협력하여 독립적인 전망과 매각 옵션을 평가할 계획입니다.
