Williams Financial Group upgraded Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $46.00.

Analyst, Cody G. Acree, said despite a discouraging macroeconomic backdrop...There are always short-term trades, long and short...Thematically, we believe these companies stand out for a few reasons. These firms can be well positioned in markets that enjoy some degree of buffer to the vagaries of short-term GDP trends, here we would point to Skyworks (Nasdaq: SWKS); although the market is already pricing in its strengths. Alternatively, we highlight RF Micro (Nasdaq: RFMD), with similar customer exposure, but completely mispriced by the market...We believe SLAB has matured into a company that now has both stable long-term growth drivers, but also the ability to augment this with innovative technologies that have provided periods of aggressive product cycle growth."
