Why it matters — An upcoming Investor Day gives Harmonic watchers a scheduled opportunity to hear directly from the company about its strategy and outlook.
Harmonic reported a Q2 double beat, driven by a 54% YoY surge in Broadband revenue, and raised its full-year guidance, although its shares stayed flat.

The 7 Wall Street analysts covering Harmonic, Inc. have a median 12-month price target of $17, with estimates ranging from $8 to $20. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
