What happened

Ciena has released financial targets for its fiscal 2029, according to a report from Cailianshe carried by East Money.

The company said it aims for a revenue compound annual growth rate of approximately 30% between fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2029.

Ciena also set a target of a free cash flow margin of about 20% for fiscal 2029.

Why it matters

The targets give investors a rare multi-year view of how management expects the business to scale, rather than guidance limited to a single quarter or year.

Pairing a growth goal with a free cash flow margin target suggests the company intends to combine expansion with cash generation, though the announcement itself does not explain how those goals would be reached.
