by · The Markets Daily

Ceragon Networks (NASDAQ:CRNT – Get Free Report) posted its earnings results on Thursday. The communications equipment provider reported $0.07 earnings per share for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.04 by $0.03, FiscalAI reports. Ceragon Networks had a positive return on equity of 2.74% and a negative net margin of 0.95%. The company had revenue of $95.52 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $94.40 million.

Here are the key takeaways from Ceragon Networks’ conference call:

  • Ceragon reported Q3 revenue of $95.5 million, up 11.7% year over year, while non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 8.5% and EPS rose to $0.07. The company also generated $8.9 million in cash from operating and investing activities and ended the quarter with $32.1 million in net cash.
  • Full-year 2026 revenue guidance remains $365 million–$375 million, with the wide range reflecting component supply constraints rather than weak demand; gross margin and operating margin guidance is unchanged at 33.5%–34.5% and 5%–6%, respectively. Management expects supply and component-cost pressures to continue into 2027, and said Q3’s favorable mix may not persist.
  • Management sees healthy North American demand and expects EMEA to deliver significant growth in 2027, citing stronger bookings, a growing backlog, and a new Tier 1 operator award. India is expected to remain roughly flat in 2027 based on its two largest customers, with a potential additional carrier RFP offering upside.
  • Ceragon is pursuing growth from the Cambium disruption, private-network deployments, and demand for higher-capacity wireless transport. Management said the Cambium opportunity is more imminent, while its broader 2027 growth outlook remains qualitative and dependent in part on execution and supply availability.
