Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Cree (NASDAQ: CREE) price target of $33.00.

Analyst, Jonathan Dorsheimer, said, "We maintain our BUY on CREE shares based on our thesis that investors should use 2012 volatility to build a position in front of 2013/2014 earnings power on improving lighting trends...We believe that the lighting macro is still well on track, especially for a strong 2013/2014. We continue to look through likely volatility, recognizing that Cree benefits as a pure-play with a likely margin-expansion story as the chip fab utilization rises with increasing demand."
