Calix has launched new SmartMDU capabilities on its AI-native Calix One platform, with service providers Alaska Communications Systems, Tipmont REMC, and Velocity Network expanding their use of Calix managed services across residential, small business, and multi-dwelling unit markets. The SmartMDU upgrade and broader Calix One adoption are central to the company's strategy of shifting broadband customers toward higher-value software and managed services, aiming for stickier recurring revenue. Some analysts project Calix could reach approximately $1.6 billion in revenue and $144 million in earnings by 2029, implying a fair value of $66.00 per share, a 78% upside to the current price. However, the investment narrative remains balanced by execution risks and unresolved margin and disclosure allegations tied to ongoing securities class actions.
