“The December quarter was an atypical and unexpectedly weak finish to the year, with reduced spending by some of our largest customers,” said Robyn Denholm, Juniper’s chief financial officer. “While long-term industry fundamentals remain strong, we expect the near-term environment to remain challenging. We will invest in support of our strategy while continuing our focus on execution and prudent cost management.”
