Deutsche Bank Starts Silicon Motion Technology (SIMO) at Buy; Strong Position in High-Growth Markets

Deutsche Bank initiates coverage on Silicon Motion Technology (NASDAQ: SIMO) with a Buy. PT $24.00.

Deutsche analyst, said, "We believe Silicon Motion can deliver above market revenue growth through its strong position in flash controllers and LTE wireless solutions at Samsung Electronics (30% of revenue). SIMO's controller IP is increasingly differentiated in the market and underpins a trend of higher ASPs. Even with a more muted outlook for SIMO's LTE wireless solutions in 2013 (-3% y/y), we expect the company to continue to outperform its peers."

"We model 2012 of $284m (+27% y/y)/PF EPS $1.78 and 2013 of $317m (+12% y/y)/$2.00 on 48.3% GM."
