Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on OCZ Technology Group (NASDAQ: OCZ) price target of $10.00 (from $14.00).
Analyst, Richard Kugele, said, "Sometimes it seems like there is always a fly in what would otherwise be a great soup with OCZ. In a quarter when revenues could have been nearly $140M (easily exceeding guidance) a component issue impacts shipments, discounting older inventory pressures margin (slightly) and EPS misses. Nevertheless, while not always the cleanest story, we fundamentally believe in 1) the core proprietary technology; 2) the brand presence; and 3) the pending ramps at meaningful OEMs of high-margin PCI-e solutions."
"Our revised estimates for F2Q are $130M/loss of $0.10 vs. $130M/$0.01. Our F2013 becomes $671M/$0.09 vs. $672M/$0.48. Our F2014 estimates become $1B/$1.14 vs. $1B/$1.40."
