NetGear, Inc. (NTGR): The Pain Is Temporary

Luckily, I’m not the only investor who sees it that way as shares of NetGear, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR) have risen nearly 9% since setting that 52-week low on April 19.

Of course, while Cisco is deeply entrenched in nearly every market that matters across the globe, Cisco investors also can’t look forward to the same growth opportunities offered by Netgear. Remember, Netgear is only just getting started on expanding its presence in China through its recent partnership with Lenovo, and its management also stated that it expects growth in India and Russia to accelerate, thanks largely to newly introduced products in the region created specifically to target the expanding middle-class consumers in both markets.

Finally, Lo also reminded us that Netgear only just closed its acquisition of the AirCard division of Sierra Wireless, Inc. (USA) (NASDAQ:SWIR) on April 2, and it’s “currently engaged in a very methodical integration of the AirCard business into the Service Provider Business Unit and the larger Netgear family.” Even better, Netgear is apparently already busy responding to multiple requests for proposals from service providers eager to see new options for fixed and mobile LTE products from the company.

Foolish final thoughts
Long-term investors should keep a close eye on Netgear, then, to see if any of these proposals find the light of day. If they do, the fast-growing 4G LTE market should give Netgear plenty of ammunition for meeting its goals of increasing annual revenue to $2 billion by the end of 2014. If Netgear can manage to keep it together and truly begin to deliver on its long-term growth promises, patient investors who buy today stand to enjoy massive upside going forward.
