Ciena Corporation (CIEN) has revealed impressive growth of their stock by closing at $84.48 on the day with a 11.27 point gain, that is a 15.39% increase. There could be several reasons for this significant rise in the stock price:

• Market demand and interest: It may be the case that the market demand for Ciena’s products and services has gone up, or the market has shown more interest in these products than before. This may be because of increasing trends in the telecommunications industry, which is Ciena’s area of operation, or any other emerging trends that may be advantageous to the company.

• Analysts' recommendations: Ciena has not had a positive rating by well-regarded investment banks or research firms, and any upgrade in Ciena's stock rating or positive initiation could lead to higher demand from investors as a result of such recommendations.

• Company Performance: Earnings or revenue figures and good balance sheet numbers could therefore translate to large movements in the stock price. If WBD has been reporting good results on the previous quarters, investors are likely to have confidence in the company and therefore have high stock value.

• Industry Trends: Industry impacts can have an influence on the value placed on a company’s stock. For example, if there is an increased demand in the market for streaming services and content, then WBD which deals with entertainment and media, may see its stock taking a bullish trend.
