Juniper reports rise in quarterly revenue on robust networking gear demand
The Sunnyvale, California-based company posted revenue of $1.28 billion for the quarter ended March 31, in line with analyst forecasts, according to LSEG data. On an adjusted basis, Juniper earned 43 cents per share, also in line with estimates.
Companies are investing heavily in upgrading their networking infrastructure to provide advanced services and cater to a growing number of customers, benefiting the likes of Juniper and Cisco Systems.
In addition to cloud customers, demand is being "complemented by accelerated enterprise momentum, where we experienced healthy order growth across both campus and data center use cases," said CEO Rami Rahim.
"While the tariff environment remains dynamic, we are taking actions which we expect will help mitigate the potential impact of tariffs over time," CFO Ken Miller said.
Juniper is in the process of being acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise for $14 billion in cash, but the U.S. Department of Justice has sued to block the deal, arguing the deal would reduce competition, raise prices and reduce innovation.
In February, Juniper denied the allegations, saying that the complaint does not correctly represent the market dynamics for wireless network solutions.

Here's the Front-Runner to Play Elon Musk in Luca Guadagnino's AI Movie
It seems like you haven't really made it in Silicon Valley until a major movie actor plays you on film. Jesse Eisenberg portrayed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, and Michael Fassbender played Steve Jobs in the 2015 film Steve Jobs. Even Bill Gates was played by Anthony Michael Hall in the 1999 TV film Pirates of Silicon Valley. And now Elon Musk is reportedly next in line to get the Hollywood treatment. Deadline reported today that Ike Barinholtz, the star of The Studio, which earned him his first Emmy nomination, is in talks to play the Tesla CEO in Luca Guadagnino's upcoming movie Artificial. Guadagnino is known for his stylish films that include Call Me by Your Name, Queer, and Challengers. And now the Italian director is taking on Silicon Valley next. Artificial is being described as a comedic drama about the world of artificial intelligence. Specific plot details have not been officially announced yet, but sources told Deadline that the film will be about the time OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was suddenly fired from the company in 2023, only to be rehired four days later. Altman was initially ousted by the company's board for allegedly not being 'consistently candid in his communication with the board.' The New York Times reported at the time that Altman had tried to remove one of the directors, Helen Toner, after a research paper she co-authored was perceived by him as critical of OpenAI's safety practices, while praising rival firm Anthropic. Microsoft quickly offered Altman a job, prompting most of OpenAI's staff to threaten to quit. Eventually, Altman won the power struggle and returned to lead the company with much of the board replaced. Barinholtz would join a cast that currently includes includes Anora's Yura Borisov, Andrew Garfield, who played Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network, and Cooper Koch. Although it hasn't been confirmed, some outlets speculate that Garfield would be playing Altman. Guadagnino also frequently works with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who famously scored The Social Network, so we might see the Nine Inch Nails frontman return his focus to tech bros. Musk cofounded OpenAI with Altman and others back in 2015, but he left in 2018, reportedly over disagreements about the company's direction. He now runs a rival company, xAI. And the feud between the two has only escalated since. Earlier this year, Musk exited his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and engaged in a public spat with Trump on social media. Around the same time, Altman joined Trump for a long one-on-one meeting. Trump later publicly praised Altman's AI infrastructure efforts, which Musk has previously disparaged.

Amazon to close China-based AI research lab
In 2015, 2015, Amazon was trying to attract consumers in China. Now the Shanghai-based Amazon Web Services announced job layoffs last week as the e-commerce conglomerate shutters its artificial intelligence and development wing in China. File Photo by Stephen Shaver/UPI | License Photo July 23 (UPI) -- Amazon will shut down its AI research lab in a cost-cutting move as tensions flare with China and as other global companies seek to leave the nation because of Chinese influence. The Shanghai-based Amazon Web Services announced job layoffs last week while as the conglomerate shutters its artificial intelligence and development wing. The closures were first reported by The Financial Times. It was due to "strategic adjustments amid U.S.-China tensions," an applied scientist at the lab, Wang Minjie, wrote on WeChat early this week as Amazon disbanded the team. It was not immediately clear how many people or jobs were affected. The Shanghai facility was established in 2018 to focus on areas such as machine learning and processing natural language. In a statement, company spokesman Brad Glasser said Amazon "made the difficult business decision to eliminate some roles across particular teams" in its AWS division. Meanwhile, a growing number of American corporate giants, like Microsoft and IBM, have opted to either downsize or end operations in China as geopolitical tensions rise exasperated by U.S. President Donald Trump's fluctuating tariff policies. It came the same day McKinsey & Company, a large U.S. defense contractor, also revealed it was pulling back its own AI base in China as companies look to other nations such as India. About 300 India-based Chinese workers at FoxConn, Apple's main iPhone producer, were ordered to return home earlier this month by Chinese authorities as Apple looks elsewhere, too, for its business operations. Amazon has been actively retreating from China in recent years, going so far in 2019 to shut down the e-commerce giant's Chinese marketplace.
