Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on Research In Motion Ltd. (NASDAQ: RIMM) price target cut from $15 to $13.25.
Analyst, Stuart Jeffrey, said, "Management strategy beginning to head the right way, but still in near-term fighting mode. New CEO Heins noted the need for fundamental changes in strategy including a $1bn cost-cutting plan and searching out constructive partnerships (ODM strategy a possibility). Weak sales triggered a $267m inventory write-down yet inventories are still 66% up year on year, with revenue down 25%. Q1 volumes likely to see further sequential declines. We see little likelihood of RIM succeeding as a standalone ecosystem. Our recommendation remains Neutral. Long-term we expect the company to wind down, but see $13.25 of value if management runs the business for cash. Our 2012E/2013E EPS goes from $2.70 / $2.51 to $2.20 / $1.77."
