ERIC, DOX
Jan 10, 2019 | 09:46 EDT
After Ericsson (ERIC) announced that it will be taking about $685M in restructuring charges in the fourth quarter to reshape its Business Support System, or BSS, business, JPMorgan analyst Jackson Ader called the news a "slight positive" for Amdocs (DOX). Ericsson's announcement gives more credence to Amdocs' contention that it has competed well against the equipment providers in the BSS space, it shows that the BSS market is strategic enough to warrant increased focus, and it likely gives Amdocs a leg up in the early stages of the 5G rollout, Ader tells investors. He maintains a Neutral rating on Amdocs shares.
