Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Mentor Graphics (NASDAQ: MENT) price target raised $1 to $16.

Needham analyst says, "Much like Cadence, which reported a month before it, Mentor put up very solid 3QF12 results, including an improved overall bookings outlook for the year. Management noted seeing no signs of slowing in its business, including emulation—historically the most cyclically sensitive EDA spending category. While we expect macro headwinds/headlines are likely to keep investors skeptical on the sustainability of the recent strength in the EDA sector, we continue to see EDA as a more resilient and defensive way to play the secular trend of increasing semiconductor penetration."
