Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on Brooks Automation Inc. (NASDAQ: BRKS), lowers PT from $15 to $13.

Needham analyst said, "Yesterday after market close, BRKS announced that it has completed the sale of the contract manufacturing operations to Celestica (NYSE: CLS)(Not Rated). We believe the divestiture is the first step in transforming BRKS to a more diversified and technology-focused business. While the updated guidance reflects softness in the core semi equipment business, we continue to like BRKS’s longer-term growth strategy, which focus the company in several new adjacent markets, including Life Science and LED."

"Based on the updated guidance reflecting the moderation in the semicap space, we lower our FY11 non-GAAP EPS to $1.42 (from $1.53) and FY12 to $1.10 (from $1.20)."
