The quarter's standout driver was a 49% surge in Direct Cloud Provider revenue, which climbed to represent 42% of total Q4 sales as AI infrastructure buildouts accelerated demand for Ciena's coherent pluggable and Reconfigurable Line System products, both of which hit record quarterly shipment levels. Adjusted gross margin expanded to 43.4% from 41.6% a year earlier, and adjusted operating margin widened to 13.2% from 10.0%, signaling meaningful operating leverage, a theme management expects to amplify in fiscal 2026 with revenue guidance of $5.70 billion to $6.10 billion and adjusted operating margin of approximately 17%. Analysts at Barclays, JPMorgan, and Citi have already responded with significant price target increases, reflecting broad confidence that demand from cloud and networking peers will sustain the company's growth trajectory.
