Soleil Securities initiates coverage on Cabot Microelectronics (NASDAQ: CCMP) with a Buy. PT $68.

Soleil analyst says, "Revenue growth has averaged 8.5% per year over the last 5 years. Generation of free cash has grown much more rapidly than revenues - 17.5% over the last 5 years - due to the company's high margins and low capital intensity. We expect the rate of revenue growth to increase over the next 3 to 5 years due to: 1) Increased usage of CMP as the IC industry continues to move to smaller geometries; and 2) Entry by CCMP into new markets (e.g. CMP pads, and semiconductor-grade silicon wafers)...With improving gross margin, reduced operating expenses as a percent of revenue, and continued share repurchases, we believe the company can achieve EPS growth of 11-12% over the next three to five years."
