Nomura Securities trimmed estimates and its price target on Avago Technologies (NASDAQ: AVGO) from $42 to $40 following Q4 results. The firm maintained a Buy rating.
"Avago reported better F4Q revenue/EPS of $618mn/$0.71 than our estimates of $615mn/$0.67. Higher EPS was largely driven by lower opex (-$7mn)," analyst , Romit Shah notes. "Industrial guidance of low to mid single digits decline is roughly in line with our prior forecast. Wired comm results came inline (down 8% q/q) with our forecast; however, the guidance of sequential decline of high-single to low-double digits is disappointing."
The firm lowers F1Q estimates from $615/$0.67 to $575/$0.54 and CY13 estimates from $2.7bn/$3.00 to $2.5bn/$2.70. The new $40 price target is based on 15x CY13E EPS. AVGO trades at 13x forward earnings multiple vs. an average of 15x for the coverage group.
