Canaccord Adams reiterates its Buy rating and $37 price target on Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI).

The firm believes that Analog Device's focus on moving away from its computing and handset positions and towards industrial makes it a "compelling defensive play during the current period of uncertainty."

EPS for Q2 go from $0.41 to $0.44, versus the consensus of $0.45. On a full year basis, Canaccord expects Analog Devices to report sales of $2.657 billion, up from $2.589 billion previously. The Street is currently expecting revs of $2.52 billion. The firm raised its FY08 EPS estimate from $1.66 to $1.80, versus $1.68.

Analog Devices, Inc. engages in the design, manufacture, and marketing of analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits used in industrial, communication, computer, and consumer applications.
