Brean Murray Carret & Co. maintains a 'Buy' on Rovi Corp. (NASDAQ: ROVI) price target of $33.00 (from $41.00)

Analyst, Todd Mitchell, said, "Investors have all but bailed on Rovi following a series of resets and miscues from the company. Most recently, Rovi's new CFO tempered expectations for 'Total Guide CE' and the Rovi Entertainment Store (RES)...We still see Rovi hitting the midpoint of its 2012 EPS guidance and generating 20% EPS growth in 2013. Unfortunately, credibility is at a minimum and ROVI is trading at a hefty discount to EPS growth as a result. While lacking a near-term catalyst, we think the sell-off is overdone and believe the shares will firm with a return to revenue and EPS growth in 2H12 with momentum building late in 2012 with a stronger outlook in 2013."

FY12 EPS estimate cut from $2.50 to $2.45 and FY13 from $3.00 to $2.95.
