Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) price target of $9.00.

Canaccord analyst, T. Michael Walkley, said, "SWIR reported Q3/11 results, with sales of $147M below our $153M estimate but pro forma EPS of $0.15 well above our $0.04 estimate due to much stronger gross margin. However, Mobile Computing sales visibility remains cloudy, resulting in Q4/11 guidance below our estimates. While we believe Sierra’s LTE product portfolio is well positioned with leading carriers and we expect sustainable long-term sales growth for its M2M business, we anticipate continued weak mobile computing sales during 2012."

"We are lowering our 2011 pro forma EPS estimate from $0.12 to $0.10 and
our 2012 estimate from $0.89 to $0.58."
