Madison Small Cap Fund Faraz Farzam, Aaron Garcia | “Viavi Solutions operates a sticky test-and-measurement business with substantial switching costs. Growth is driven by strategic M&A, highlighted by DOJ-mandated divestitures from Keysight following its Spirent acquisition. These assets materially strengthen Viavi's position in high-speed Ethernet, network security and RF testing. We believe the market underappreciates Viavi's expanding opportunity in data centers and AI-driven network complexity. We estimate intrinsic value at $30. BSD Analysis: Viavi sits deep in the testing and assurance layer of global communications networks — a place investors rarely get excited about, but operators can't live without. Its tools are essential for building, maintaining, and validating fiber, 5G, and cloud infrastructure. Network complexity only increases from here, which quietly expands Viavi's relevance. End-market spending is lumpy, creating headline volatility. But once networks are built, they must be tested forever. Margins improve when volumes normalize because IP content is high. Viavi isn't flashy tech — it's the referee. When networks fail, Viavi gets called. That's a good business.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
