Needham analyst Alex Henderson reiterated a Buy rating on Juniper Networks, Inc. (JNPR) but lowered the price target to $33 from $41. Despite Q2 2023 revenue growth of 13% Y/Y to $1.43 billion, concerns were raised about the company's spending priorities due to a weak Cloud segment and duress in Service Provider. The analyst expects these sectors to remain a headwind in 2H but sees potential in the Enterprise sector. The FY24 forecast was cut to 1.5% growth from 6.1%.
