Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Veeco Instruments (NASDAQ: VECO) price target of $25.00.

Analyst, Olga Levinzon, said, "We continue to see the bright spots in Veeco's business (near-term HDD strength, robust service growth, strong net cash position) being offset by expectations for an extended downturn in MOCVD demand. Thus, we expect the stock to be relatively range bound in the near to medium term..."

"We lower our CY12 estimates to $550M/$1.25 (Street $626M/$1.72) and CY13 estimates to $570M/$1.35 (Street $688M/$2.81)."
