(Reuters) - Telecom equipment maker Calix Inc (CALX.N) estimated a second-quarter profit below analysts' expectations, citing lower spending by customers, sending its shares down as much as 26 percent after the bell.
The company estimated adjusted earnings of 4 cents per share on revenue of about $79 million for the second quarter.
Analysts on average were expecting 10 cents per share, on revenue of $95.1 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Network gear makers have been facing slowing demand for their products this year as telecom carrier customers cut spending amid a sluggish U.S. economy and weakness in Europe.
California-based Calix counts CenturyLink Inc (CTL.N) and Frontier Communications Corp (FTR.O) among its clients.
Calix shares were down 24 percent at $4.93 after the bell on Wednesday. They closed at $6.48 on the New York Stock Exchange.
