Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) price target raised from $9 to $11.
Analyst, Michael Walkley, said, "Sierra Wireless reported solid Q4/11 results with sales of $147M and pro forma EPS of $0.08, in line with our $147M/$0.07 estimates. With Sierra providing Q1/12 revenue and EPS guidance above our estimates, we believe Q1/12 marks the start of a strong earnings recovery due to improved costs controls and steadily improving sales. We believe Sierra’s LTE product portfolio is well positioned with leading carriers, and we expect sustainable long-term sales growth for its M2M business."
"We are raising our 2012 pro forma EPS estimate from $0.58 to $0.60 and
introducing our 2013 estimate of $0.80."
