Ciena is trading 4.4% down at $360.77 amid continued pressure on AI and networking infrastructure stocks.

  • The move extends weakness from July 27, 2026, when the stock fell 7.6% as investors rotated out of expensive high-beta optical and networking names.
  • Sector headwinds in technology during pre-market trading are amplifying the downside move following a broader AI-driven tech sell-off.
