Auriga maintains a 'Buy' on Xilinx (NASDAQ: XLNX) price target raised from $40 to $42.

Auriga analyst says, "In our view, the company was clearly more aggressive and confident about potential for large share gains (70%+) at the 28nm node, which combined with its claims of expected share gains in CY12/13 versus Altera (Nasdaq: ALTR)(Hold) suggests a key inflection point for the company. XLNX's claims for 70%+ share at 28nm design wins reinforces our conviction on significant share gain potential for the company; which also seems to be supported by our industry checks and recent reports of a significant reorganization at ALTR. While the opex for FY13 was guided slightly higher than expected ($870mln versus our $855mln), we view it positively as we expect additional 28nm investments to contribute to share gains and higher growth in the future."
