The company anticipates sales for the period ended April 30 of approximately $120 million, well above the $113.4 million average forecast from analysts polled by Thomson Financial.

Finisar, which is slated to report results June 12, makes equipment that allows high-speed connection over local area networks. Customers include Hewlett-Packard and IBM.

The company also said Friday it will buy cable TV and computer network component maker Optium Corp. for approximately $212 in an all-stock deal. The deal will not be completed by the end of the fiscal fourth quarter.

Finisar shares were up 11 cents, or 8.3 percent, to $1.44 in morning trading.
