Needham & Company maintains a 'Hold' on Netlist (NASDAQ: NLST).

Needham analyst says, "NLST’s 2Q are indicative of a story that continues to bifurcate. At one level, HyperCloud adoption continues to be delayed (memory issues, litigation, OEM delays, and perhaps even the timing of Romley). On another level, NetVault products continue to surprise to the upside and have been accretive to GM (buoyed by favorable DRAM pricing). Nevertheless, we believe a realistic path to sustainable profitability is unlikely to occur until NLST either: 1) achieves a Tier One OEM win with HyperCloud; or 2) grows NetVault much faster and lowers OPEX. We maintain our Hold rating on NLST until at least one of these materializes."
