Goldman Sachs downgraded Veeco Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ: VECO) from Neutral to Sell with a price target of $27.00 (from $30.00), citing risk to estimates.
The firm comments, "VECO has remained resilient following a strong YTD performance (+68% vs. S&P 500 +16%) which we attribute to expectations of a meaningful recovery in tool volumes. We see this driving a near-term trading opportunity, as recent checks suggest incremental downside to LED capacity adds (e.g. MOCVD) in China and Korea will drive a flattish tool outlook for 2013. We believe VECO shares are already discounting 30%-35% bookings growth, however, and thus see poor risk/reward ahead of pending cuts to Street estimates."
