Needham & Company maintains a 'Hold' on Hutchinson Technology (NASDAQ: HTCH).

Needham analyst says, "Hutchinson’s Thailand facility, flooded along with much of the country, has been dried out and the insurance coverage has arrived. Now the recovery process begins. In the interim, moth-balled capacity in the US has bridged any capacity needs the HDD industry might have. The larger issues of market share gains and profitability remain the tasks at hand over the forecast period, and hurdles that must be overcome before we revisit our Hold rating."

Needham raises FY12 EPS loss from (3.04) to (1.78), but lowers FY13 from (0.62) to (0.80).
