Barclays reiterates an 'Overweight' on CEVA Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA) price target of $30.00.
Analyst, Joseph Wolf, said, "We hosted several meetings with CFO Yaniv Arieli. Our overall impression was that investors understand CEVA's strong market position but that they do not see any short-term catalysts. We heard some scepticism on Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) ability to recover from a very weak first quarter. We believe that CEVA powers 100% of NOK's 2G feature phones and that this was a significant reason for the reduced 2Q12 guidance. We believe that FY12 guidance has now removed the possibility of any significant contribution from a quick transition to 3G by Nokia, and we see limited downside risk to estimates from here."
Despite recent design wins by Broadcom (Nasdaq: BRCM), Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) and Spectrum, it's all about the timing for CEVA. The Company is winning market share in non-iPhone (Nasdaq: AAPL) handsets, which leaves it well positioned, but will the re-ignition of growth hit in Q3, Q4 or in 2013...All in, analyst, Joseph Wolf, fells shares are trading at a very compelling risk/reward and expects that investors that get in early will be rewarded.
