Jefferies cut its price target and estimates on PMC-Sierra (NASDAQ: PMCS) after Q1 results, but keeps its Buy rating.
The price target moves from $9.00 to $8.50. Q1 EPS estimates go lower from $0.11 to $0.05, FY12 EPS goes lower from $0.60 to $0.50 and FY13 goes higher from $0.73 to $0.79.
The firm comments, "We think investors will be disappointed by weak Q1 revenue guidance. We expect Storage (60% of revs) to recover nicely with HDD supply and Mobile Backhaul (15%) to contribute additional growth starting in Q2, helped by a recovery in Telco CapEx. The stock remains unloved, trading at a ~40% discount to the group EV/S, and we think the risk/reward is favorable with the bar lowered. Reiterate Buy with a $8.50 PT."
