Telecommunications firm Ciena (NYSE:CIEN) is trading higher Tuesday as investors reacted positively to the firm's second quarter earnings release.

The company posted Q2 EPS of $0.74, $0.13 better than the analyst estimate of $0.61, with revenue for the quarter, which increased 19% year-on-year, coming in at $1.13 billion versus the consensus estimate of $1.09B.

One of Ciena's customers represented 10.9% of the company's total revenue. The company's inventories totaled $1.1B, while headcount closed the quarter at 8,385.
