After The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether Huawei violated U.S. sanctions related to Iran, Jefferies analyst George Notter said he sees Ciena (CIEN), Infinera (INFN), and possibly Nokia (NOK), which all compete with both Huawei and ZTE (ZTCOY) in international markets excluding China, as potential winners from the news. He also noted that, based on company disclosures, Huawei accounted for nearly 17% of Lumentum's (LITE) sales in FY17, about 15% of FY17 sales for Oclaro (OCLR) and 11% of FY17 sale for Finisar (FNSR). However, he also cautioned that it is possible that any impact to Huawei be negotiated away or significantly reduced and it is also possible that any DOJ investigation doesn't yield evidence of any wrong-doing.
