Sterne Agee upgraded Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA) from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $38.00.

Analyst Shaw Wu cited: "(1) we see AMZN Kindle Fire as a catalyst for the 2H; (2) stock has pulled back 22% from its recent highs making current levels an attractive entry point; and (3) it appears that a modest guidedown for the June quarter is largely anticipated."

The firm expects SYNA to meet or consensus estimates of $132 million in revenue and $0.52 in EPS when they report on Thursday, April 26, 2012, after the close.
