Needham & Company upgraded Intersil (NASDAQ: ISIL) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $13.00.
Analyst, Vernon Essi, Jr, said, "Last week ISIL released details regarding its cost improvement measures that were first discussed at its Investor & Analyst day two weeks ago in conjunction with its “Top 10 Growth Drivers”. ISIL indicated it will undergo an 11% reduction in workforce and estimates $40M in annual OPEX savings. Also, ISIL will take a $9M charge in Q2 associated with the restructuring. We adjusted our model to reflect these changes; our 2013 EPS estimate is increased by $0.30 above our prior estimate of $0.55."
FY12 EPS estimate raised from $0.40 to $0.57 and FY13 raised to $0.85.
