Canaccord Genuity upgraded Aixtron (NASDAQ: AIXG) from Sell to Hold, price target raised to $15.00.

Analyst, Jonathan Dorsheimer, said, "Citing extremely low visibility, AIXTRON management refrained from issuing full-year guidance on its Q4 earnings call. We do not believe that market share shifts are the driving force behind the company’s weak order outlook. We continue to believe that MOCVD demand has fallen to less than 200 tools for 2012."

"While the stock could trend lower from here as a result, we feel that most of the negative catalysts are known, and other than the financial results creating a disappointment we feel that expectations have been sufficiently reduced."
