Juniper Networks Inc. (JNPR) said its fourth-quarter profit rose 59% on revenue growth driven in large part by an increase in product sales at the network-gear company. For the current quarter, Juniper said it expects adjusted earnings of 27 cents to 30 cents a share on revenue of $1.12 billion to $1.16 billion. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters recently projected earnings of 29 cents a share on revenue of $1.14 billion. Juniper said its outlook, reflects that underlying demand in the industry will “remain healthy” this year.
