Clearfield Stock Discussion

Analysts hold mixed views on the stock due to lower earnings per share forecasts and a significant increase in loss per share expectations. The company's revenues are predicted to underperform compared to the broader industry. The long-term earnings trajectory is deemed more crucial than next year's performance.

The reduction in Clearfield's earnings and revenue forecasts from profits to losses this year as well as the projected slower growth compared to the broader market significantly impacts market sentiment towards the company.
