SAN FRANCISCO Shares of F5 Networks Inc. on Friday fell 2.2% to close at $ 91.39, the second worst performer on the S&P 500. The networking systems company, which is scheduled to report fiscal third-quarter results on Wednesday, took a hit from a couple of downbeat analyst reviews. Wedbush analyst Rohit Chopra wrote that he expects results “that are at the low end of management’s guidance given the softer demand environment in Europe and overall enterprise.” In a note, Sterne Agee’s Alex Kurtz pointed to “an environment of lengthening sales cycles and a moderating growth outlook” to explain a “more conservative stance” on the stock. F5 Networks’s stock has lost 25% in the last three months.
