That. HPE (Juniper), IBM (RedHat), Broadcom (VMware), Symantec (Veritas), the list is endless. If you got stock in any such company, remember to timely take profits, don't fall in love with the stock, and don't ride it back down the other side.

Never been a "Juniper guy" myself, maybe somebody can chip in if they are even remotely worth 14 bln in cash. I was surprised to read about AI, didn't hear anything innovative AI from Juniper at this point. But every day I read about a new paper from the Chinese or whoever claiming to beat GPT 3.5-Turbo with half the resources.

IME juniper is heavy in the security side though they do have switches as well. They're like the smaller Cisco when it comes to networking. Every major telecom uses them.
