UPDATE - Barclays initiates coverage on CEVA Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA) with an Overweight. PT $32.
Barclays analyst says, "We see three key reasons to own CEVA: 1) Ceva is the market leader in baseband DSP architecture and should grow from 36% to 55% share over the next two years; 2) Ceva enters the 4G/LTE market with a strong customer base and position, in 2G/3G it had to catch up; 3) Ceva is well positioned for next-generation DSP growth in emerging mobile applications."
"Lumpiness, market trends and valuation: As a small IP company Ceva's largest risks are short-term volatility and market shifts. We believe that the growth opportunity and peer analysis supports our use of a 30x 2012e non-GAAP EPS to drive our $32 price target, subtracting cash the P/E drops to 24x. We recognize that the richness of the valuation leaves little room for execution error."
