Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ: IXYS) price target lowered from $15 to $14.

Needham analyst says, "IXYS reported DecQ3 revenue materially below expectations and guided to a 5-8% Q/Q growth which is roughly 9% below consensus. Though we expected the channel to be stocking below consumption rates, we did not expect a continued drop of this magnitude. Management cited push-outs that occurred late in the quarter in the months of December and cited a handful of points of weakness – the largest of which is a likely correction that has occurred with Chinese distributors as credit has tightened in the region."

"Nonetheless, we believe investors have supported share prices at the turning point along the bottom; it appears this will be the case for IXYS. In conjunction with the guide, we lowered our FY12 revenue/EPS estimates from $389M/$1.12 to $367M/$1.00, our FY13 estimates from $403M/$1.20 to $387M/$1.10 and introduced our FY14 estimates of $410M/$1.25."
