Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Smith Micro Software (NASDAQ: SMSI) price target doubled from $1 to $2.

Analyst, T. Michael Walkley, said, "Smith Micro reported Q4/11 results slightly below our expectations and anticipates slightly lower sales in Q1/12. However, with its recent Mobile Network Director (MND) win with Sprint, Smith Micro anticipates sales should start recovering in Q2/12. While the MND win with Sprint is the first step in Smith Micro’s potential longer-term return to profitability, we maintain our rating, but we are increasing our price target."

"Due to lower sales expectations in Q1/12, we are reducing our 2012 pro forma LPS estimate from ($0.19) to ($0.31). Based on steadily improving sales and improved cost levels, we believe Smith Micro can return to a modest pro forma EPS profit of $0.18 in 2013."
