The stock of broadband network company ADC Telecommunications (ADCT), which I first wrote about on June 10, 2009, at a price of $8.46, has underperformed, but I still see a bright future for the company, for the following reasons.

First, look for a solid increase in year-over-year sales in second-half of 2010, aided by increased U.S. broadband spending and robust equipment sales to China. Further, international broadband opportunities abound for ADCT; one example: fiber-based internet is in its infancy, both domestically and abroad.

ADC Telecommunications (NASDAQ: ADCT) provides infrastructure equipment used by wireline, wireless, cable, broadcast and enterprise networks. Its systems connect high-speed Internet, data, video and voice services to residential, business and mobile subscribers. The firm also provides network management software and integration services. Ciena (NASDAQ: CIEN), Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) and Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) are on the company's customer list.

The firm surprised the Street last week, when it reported Q2 EPS of 39 cents and revenues of $403.4 million. Analysts had been looking for 30 cents and $384.8 million. Management also guided Q3 revenues to about $403.4 million ($395.70 million consensus), FY08 EPS to $1.25-$1.33 ($1.21 consensus) and FY08 revenues to $1.52-$1.54 billion ($1.5B consensus).

Its systems connect high-speed Internet, data, video and voice services to residential, business and mobile subscribers. The firm also provides network management software and integration services. Ciena (NASDAQ: CIEN), Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) and Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) are on the company's customer list.

The firm surprised the Street last week when it reported fiscal Q3 EPS of 37 cents and revenues of $346.1 million. Analysts had been looking for 23 cents and $329.1 million. The CEO cited better than expected strength in the connectivity, wireless and services businesses. Management also guided FY07 EPS to $1.11-$1.15 (92 cent consensus) and FY07 revenues to $1.308-$1.313 billion ($1.29B consensus). The stock popped on the news and has since been forming a bullish "pennant" consolidation pattern. Equities frequently exit pennants moving in the same direction they were traveling when they entered them. In this case, that would be to the upside.

Brokers recommend the issue with six "strong buys" and sixteen "holds." Analysts see a 19% growth rate, through the next year. The stock's P/E ratio (14.20), Price to Sales ratio (1.81), Price to Book ratio (2.40), Price to Cash Flow ratio (9.25), Price to Free Cash Flow ratio (26.89), EPS Growth rate (42.31%), Net Profit Margin (13.33%) and Return on Assets (10.53%) compare favorably with industry, sector and S&P 500 averages. Institutional investors hold about 79% of the outstanding shares. The stock is one of those used to calculate the S&P 400 MidCap Index. Over the past 52 weeks, it has traded between $13.40 and $21.06. A stop-loss of $17.25 looks good here.
