Latest VIAV news & analysis

Viavi Solutions: Explosive AI Growth Meets A Full Valuation

Seeking Alpha · 15 Sept 2026neutral

Viavi Solutions reported strong fiscal 2026 growth, with revenue up 40% to $1.52B and non-GAAP operating margin expanding to 20.6%, as AI data centers and aerospace/defense now drive two-thirds of NSE revenue.
