It was only nine days ago that investors were left speculating as to whether Aruba's (Nasdaq:ARUN) weak fiscal third quarter meant that the WLAN market was slowing or that rival Cisco (Nasdaq:CSCO)
was gaining share. With Cisco's earnings in hand and Aruba management's
own post-earnings comments, it's clear that Cisco now looms large as a
major disruptive force.
A more aggressive (and successful) Cisco is a multi-faceted threat to
Aruba, and investors aren't hanging around to see how this plays out –
sending the shares down more than one-quarter Friday morning. Although I
continue to believe that there's long-term value in Aruba Networks
shares, investors approaching this stock today have to treat it like
nitroglycerine – be gentle and have a backup plan if and when things go
badly wrong.
