Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on Cavium Networks (NASDAQ: CAVM) price target lowered from $35 to $33.

Analyst, N. Quinn Bolton, said, "Cavium reported 1Q12 results in-line with revised guidance but issued 2Q12 guidance modestly below our and consensus estimates. Though we have modestly reduced our forward estimates, we are encouraged that quarterly revenue growth will resume in 2Q12 and accelerate in 2H12 driven by a recovery in its core Enterprise/Service Provider business and the ramp of new products. With revenue poised to recover, we maintain our Buy rating but have decreased PT." (FY12 EPS estimate cut from $0.35 to $0.23 and FY13 from $1.05 to $0.90)
