UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Linear Technology (NASDAQ: LLTC) price target lowered $1 to $33.

UBS analyst says, "We believe LLTC is under-shipping end demand as its forecast of -11% seq revenue growth for CQ4 is tracking well below our basket of industrial companies which our UBS industrial analysts estimate will grow ~4% in CQ4. Although demand remains weak, we believe we are closer to the bottom and expect a resumption of growth from early 2012."

"For F2Q, we now forecast Rev/EPS of $294m/$0.39, down from prior estimates of $338m/$0.50. For F2012, we lower our Rev/EPS estimates to $1,250m/$1.72 from $1,384m/$2.05 and for FY2013 to $1,350m/$2.00 from $1,507m/$2.34."
