Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Plexus (NASDAQ: PLXS) price target cut from $37 to $32.

Needham analyst says, "Despite some softness that may be materializing in the broader macro environment, we continue to believe that PLXS remains a growth story in the medium-term that will be driven by Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) (Not/Rated) and other new programs. Thus, we view shares as attractive and reiterate Buy but lower target...Our model is corrected for int. expense and the possibility of a dampened environment. F4Q becomes $545M & $0.52 (vs. our prior $545M & $0.55). F1Q now $560M & $0.53 vs. our prior $575M & $0.60. Pairing back F12 to $2.4B & $2.48 from $2.45B & $2.76 (conservatively assuming nearly a full $200M contribution from Coke and marginal net growth in the rest of the company’s business)."
