Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Powerwave Technologies (NASDAQ: PWAV) price target lowered to $1.00.

Analyst, T. Michael Walkley, said, "Powerwave reported Q4/11 sales of $60.1M and a pro forma LPS of ($0.95), well below our $92.8M/($0.54) estimates. Given limited visibility and anticipated lower sales to OEMs, management did not provide Q1/12 sales or EPS guidance. However, we were encouraged with announced aggressive cost reduction plans and comments management is striving to resize the business with a break even target of $70M in quarterly sales. While we believe Powerwave has enough cash to fund the business through its restructuring, we maintain our rating and lower our PT."

"...we are lowering our 2012 pro forma EPS estimate from $0.31 to ($1.22). We are introducing our 2013 EPS estimate of $0.08."
