Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

What: Finisar (Nasdaq: FNSR) shares jumped 10% today after the company raised its second-quarter revenue outlook.

So what: Weak forecasts from Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) and Oclaro (Nasdaq: OCLR) have pushed Finisar lower recently, but the company is still confident revenue will blow past previous expectations. The company now expects second-quarter revenue of $240 million to $241 million and adjusted profit of $0.41 to $0.43, both well above original guidance.

Now what: Finisar is certainly on the right track, and the guidance increase is always a welcome site for investors. I'm buying today's move despite some weakness in the sector as a whole. I think Finisar can buck the trend.
