Jefferies downgraded Spreadtrum Communications (NASDAQ: SPRD) to Underperform with a price target of $11.70.
The firm comments, "We downgrade SPRD to Underperform, and reduce our PT by 68% to HK$11.70, implying 22% downside from current level. We lower our non-GAAP net income est. by 22%/27% for 2012/13 to reflect increasing TD competition and weakening 2G demand. Our industry checks indicate a more realistic TD TAM is 60mn in 2012 vs. our prior/consensus expectation of 80mn/90mn. Increasing competition leads us to turn cautious on its TD market share and ASPs."
