Ciena Corporation reported a loss per share of $-0.14, which was better than expected, but the stock still fell by nearly 10%. The market reaction suggests that investors were disappointed despite the EPS surprise, possibly due to a lack of revenue data and guidance. Without further context from management, uncertainty remains about the company's future performance.
