GARP Research upgraded Cree (NASDAQ: CREE) from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $25.00.

GARP analyst says, "We believe sentiment is too bearish and ignores the solid performance in Cree’s LED lighting category. In our view, gross margin may have bottomed and the erosion in the chip business has run its course. Shares trade at under 8x our FY2014, ex. $5/share cash. We feel this is cheap for an industry leader in an underpenetrated market which could triple over the next four years."
